CM Punk's opinion on WM35

I do agree about his points about Kofi as it appeared that they were going hard with his push in late 09 until the whole "Stupid Stupid Stupid" Deal and then he was facing Dolph 348793487054 times for the next 5 years or so.

And had multiple IC/US/Tag Title reigns, but looking directionless every other time until the New Day (in their current form) happened.

I always thought it was to disassociate that moniker with Punk. All that lawsuit stuff wrapped up last year, and Punk & Cabana won, so I could easily see them being petty about it.

It's cool to hear his thoughts about Kofi being champion. I remember their brief run with the tag belts and that they traveled together for awhile there. I don't mind that it took this long, I'm just glad that it happened with a meaningful story behind it. No cash in, no BS finish, just Kofi at WM winning the WWE title. That is cool.

He’s absolutely right.

It’s 2019 and we are celebrating a black talent winning a world title at Mania. I mean, this isn’t late to the party, this is late to a decade or two.

Bryan Danielson was originally “The Best In The World” so Punk can’t really talk about ripping people off.

In the indies yes, in the wwe Jericho predated Punk.

Whatever you think of Punk, I don’t see how you can look at the guy, and not think he did the absolute best thing for himself by leaving. He looked miserable that last few months he was there. There’s some genuine issues you can have against him. But leaving wrestling behind him ain’t one.

They fired him on his wedding day, he’s right to leave wrestling forever. You don’t forgive that stuff.

He came off fine, people will get angry though

Seriously, unless you blindly hate Punk/defend WWE, he came off perfectly fine especially since he has legitimate issues with the company.

I don’t think Punk cut off everyone in the wrestling business. Just certain people. And the decision to cut off Jericho continues to look better and better.

We make fun of Punk from time to time and he brings a lot of it on himself, but he does come off well there. I'm interested in checking the rest of that out.

That's something I've noticed every time he appears somewhere nowadays. Compare this video to that last year with WWE and it's night and day. He looks healthy and happy. If leaving wrestling is the reason for that, then he definitely made the right decision.

I'm kinda shocked he knew what was going on in WWE. I'd thought he would have at least put them behind him despite being close to some of those guys. Like I know he and Kofi were close (maybe still are) and I was wondering what he thought of it all, if he even knew.


For added conspiracy, the show the clip is from airs on Stadium which is owned by Sinclair and airs ROH twice a week.

Seems like Kofi and the Women being represented still means a lot to him.

You know what? I’d be down to hear a CM Punk podcast where he discusses WWE or other wrestling companies. It may not be an in ring return, but it’d definitely be an interesting take to hear from.

"be ahead of the curv instead of way behind it"

And yet another perfectly apt description of everything WWE.
