Maybe it's an inner bias since I've always been a big CM Punk fan, but I can't help but feel that while Punk is a colossal dick to most people, he at least seems outright and open about it. Eh, no, you don't get "He's not a dick" points for just outright telling people what an asshole you are. Even if you're forthright and honest about what a dick you are, you're still a dick. That's not really what I said/meant. Just saying, with him what you see is kinda what you get. Never said it was okay.

Honestly, it is a little appalling that people still defend CM Punk's behavior after time and time again we hear stories about him being a total dick to people. Yet if this was a wrestler people are dead set on hating, such as Bob Holly or JBL, he would never get this kind of defense. Not defending these guys either, but much more people would unanimously condemn them.

With Jericho these days, I just get this vibe from him. Like there feels like a bit of fakeness to him. Wasn't it confirmed that he was in the texts with Amann laughing and joking about Punk's private health issues? Not long before he tried texting Punk and having him on his show? Two wrongs don't make a right and I don't think anyone looks good in this story except for Kane apparently. The more I learn about the wrestling business, the more I think that that statement can apply to everyone in it with a slight addendum: I don't think anyone looks good in this business except for Kane and Titus.

Booker T, aside from having an extra decade in the business over Punk, could have done a lot worse to him than throw trash on the ground if the situation had gotten more heated.
Book is high on my list of folks not to f*** with.

- Punk did sound something like an ass saying, "As the locker room leader", but Cody actually said some people in that locker room did view him that way (as opposed to totally backing up Jericho's take) - Booker T sounded like a smurfing child in his response to Punk saying that - Jericho sounded even more like a child in his telling of the story As message board leader, I'm telling you to watch your language kid.

Funny Punk: pick up your trash Guys: f*** off! Kane: pick up your trash please Guys: yes sir no problem Kane seems to have all the respect anywhere he goes, though. And apparently, all the ladies, if the Stacy Kiebler story had any merit.

I can't believe this thread made it five pages,and it's all over someone littering, someone else telling them to pick it up because they're the boss, and the someone else littering in defiance. This is some preschool shit Yeah? Well you have girl germs. I believe the scientific term is "cooties."

I feel like there's a difference with someone being a bit of a dick in the Luke from Gilmore Girls mold, and beating people up in the ring for no reason or sexually assaulting them in a shower. Punk's a dick but they're a dime a dozen in pro wrestling. He gets a pass because he hasn't been in a ring for eons and ultimately most of his shit lands in the "eh whatever" Plinko slot of life. Telling Booker T to pick his used condoms up and being delusional barely registers beyond the laugh of Punk's delusion.

Book is high on my list of folks not to f*** with. This. Aside from Mark Henry, Booker T is the last guy that I would fight on the WWE roster. And no, I have not forgotten about Brock Lesnar.

lmao. Booker probably looked at Punk, "TELL ME. You did not just say THAT!"

Yep sounds like Punk. I wonder who picked up their trash lmao. Add this story to the contrast of Aleistar Black talking about Roman and Roman told him stop cleaning up the locker room, he belongs here and he wants him to be comfortable This is the kinda stuff that gets overlooked when discussing locker room leaders and such. Point blank, unless you got that "scare" factor like Chris Benoit (and even then, he was a bullying asshole so do you really wanna be like that?), people aren't gonna f*** with you if you are mean to everybody. You can be the best in the world at your job, having the bare minimum of people skills is still a requirement. Meanwhile, there are guys like Roman who, while not praised as the best at their job, they clearly work hard, perform fairly well under the conditions presented, and (most importantly) they treat people well. Hence, people geuniely look up to them and respect what they say. Kane seems to be like that as well. Nobody likes an asshole. That extends to any professional work space.

I looked into it and this argument inexplicably finished with a HHH/Kevin Nash ladder match

Book is high on my list of folks not to f*** with. And, also this, lmao. Punk may think he's Mr. MMA but Booker would f*** his life up in an instant, no doubt about it. That wasn't just a gimmick when he said he was from the hard streets and had to fight to survive. He's one of them OG Grimey Houston cats.

If I remember correctly, Stacy Keibler had a huge crush on Kane because he was a nice gentlemen who was very respectful. He was flattered but declined, as he was happily married.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jericho's still big mad that Punk stopped talking to him. Jericho’s said on his podcast he thought him and punk were friends or atleast friendly but once Punk quit WWE he stopped returning his texts and phone calls plus when Punk was on Cabana’s podcast he was negative towards Jericho claiming he was only reaching out to him to get him on his podcast so Punk picked Colt’s Show to do his tell all interview because their the bestest of friends and it would help his buddy out and everything turned out awesome for Punk & Cabana.Jericho should be happy he dodged a bullet. Jericho was so offended by the notion Punk would think Jericho only wanted him for monetary reasons, he responded immediately.....behind a paywall.
