CM Punk on WTF with Marc Maron

[The Sam]

CM Punk is on episode 444 of the Marc Maron podcast "WTF".

CM Punk’s fans know him as The Best In The World and his status as one of the top stars in professional wrestling backs up that claim. He joins Marc in the garage to talk about his unorthodox rise to the pinnacle of his profession, the moment of total honesty that changed his career, and why he shares Marc’s loathing for preparation.

Gotta check this one out. It's pretty surreal to be able to listen to Punk and Maron have a conversation, not as weird as it was seeing Colt Cabana pop up on there but this is cool.

Thought the title said Marc Mero.

Pretty interesting stories about how he first started out. It's cool to hear people who have no clue about wrestling talking to wrestlers sometimes. I'd still love Punk to go on Stone Cold's podcast though and really get in depth about this bizniss.

Yeah, Colt appearing on WTF is just something that was inevitable seeing as how the Art of Wrestling is basically wrestling's answer to WTF (plus it helps that Colt has collaborated with comedian Marty DeRosa and has performed stand up and improv comedy, albeit mainly infront of partisan crowds full of wrestling fans). Basically Colt sitting down with Marc was as inevitable as The Jetsons meeting The Flinstones.

I love in maron's preamble how maybe if he was a wrestling fan then maybe he would be a better person. Also, I loved Maron's response to Punk casually mentioning the restraining order he has against his parents "Dan and Harriet need to be restrained?!"

Now that he put his high school arrests on front street this should hopefully mean he no longer has to worry about his mom black mailing him about his "embarassing past".

Pretty messed up that Punk's brother steals from Punk's old backyard fed and everyone else in the fed takes the brother's side as opposed to you know, the guy that wasn't stealing from the fed and was actually going to the Steel Domain to actually become a better wrestler.

It was cool to hear an actual explanation as to why everything in wrestling is done on the left side of the body.

That was an amazing podcast. Punk really went more in detail on some things than before, his backyard fed, the pipebomb, growing up, brother, sisters, parents...

Marc Meron is an awesome host. He knew little about wrestling yet asked all the right questions to bring the Punk's story to all listeners, wrestling fans or not.
