#1 CM Punk’s pipebomb
This was the expected one, as it usually is on this topic. But it is because it has to be. No single worked shoot caused as much of a stir as CM Punk’s speech, which became more of an anthem. It was the origin of the term “pipebomb”. This heated up one of the hottest angles in wrestling history, and shot Punk to superstardom and immense popularity.
The weeks and months following this saw an increasing amount of people wearing CM Punk shirts, and “CM Punk” became a war cry by the crowds. It is a chant that is heard till date. In his famous pipebomb, Punk insulted the entire system of WWE and the McMahon family including the system of how things work in the WWE. There is nothing that can be said here that hasn’t been said before, but when this pipebomb is referred to as “earth shattering”, it is because it indeed was.
