I know people like to dunk on him, and some aspects of it haven't aged particularly well (like the WWE running the term "pipebomb" into the ground), but the promo itself absolutely holds the gently caress up.

We can dunk on him for being an rear end in a top hat while still recognising that he's one of the best talkers of the 21st century:

This is the one that really got people paying attention to him. His feud with Raven was proof that ROH could do story as well as workrate. And this is the promo that solidified Punk as one to really watch

CM Punk was on his way to WWE. Everyone knew that he had signed and he was leaving after the show. CM Punk wins the ROH title and is going to vacate it straight after. Only that wasn't the case. Punk had agreed a later starting date with WWE so he could do one last angle with ROH. The original Summer of Punk where he was going to take the title to WWE with him. Even going as far as to sign his WWE contract on the ROH title
