Kevin in the Morning with Allie & Jensen recently spoke to the Second City Savior. He opened up about today’s “wrasslin.'” There is a lot of content out there, but Punk admitted that it’s not for him. Today’s wrestling just isn’t his generation.
>“It’s wild. There’s a lot of it. There’s so much wrasslin’.
>“So I’m like the old grizzled hitting coach that a new baseball team hires, and I come in like, ‘oh man. These guys don’t even know how to swing a bat. What are they doing? You don’t need batting gloves and the elbow guard. Come on. Let’s get back to basics. What are you all doing?’ I understand. It’s not for me. It’s not my generation,” Punk said. “It’s a completely different game. There’s good, and there’s bad.”
he already said this on the podcast. he's going to start looking like an out of touch boomer real quick
Jose Garcia
>his gimmick was preaching about change >now that change come bitch about it typical boomer
Dylan Fisher
I can see he coming back as soon as the RAW after Mania
Ian Nelson
CM Punk is the definition of an NPC, faggot still tweets about how The Walking Dead makes him do a basedface.
Tyler Wood
Not the change he is talking about.
Landon Jenkins
I feel the same way, but I might also be an out of touch boomer the matches these days are just obnoxiously fake and the wrestlers can't drive a convincing story to save their lives like Cody going for a roll up in the opening minutes of the MJF match that he went through hell to get they've just completely lost the plot
Nolan Torres
>implying he isn't right
Grayson Clark
the change of workrate fags getting pushed which spawned an entire new promotion being formed as well as wwe main event scene the last couple years.
Jeremiah Green
not for me Clive
Michael Stewart
Cringe
Jose Gutierrez
Who gives a fuck
Joseph Edwards
Kofi Kingston is a product of CM Punk
William Murphy
>a guy who was always a shitty subpar wrestler who got carried by his talking >acting like he is the "coach" and has anything to teach anyone >acting like most people aren't better technical wrestlers than him
Adam Adams
Legitimately awful take coming from Punk considering people were saying the exact same thing about him as little as 9 years ago. Fuck I hate ‘back in muh day’ retards.
Gavin Barnes
There are so many guys still wrestling that had their debut before this simp bitch... He's just a quitter.
Adrian Young
This kek, Punk was a horrible wrestler. Even all the midgets on NXT are a thousand times better than he ever was.
Benjamin Hernandez
Post his armbar
Isaac Gray
"Back in my day" is valid considering wrestling is dead.
>wants change >change comes >it doesnt draw and kills wrestling >no you have to like it
Alexander Lewis
What he's saying is that all these flippy manlets doing 5000 flips to land a punch is retarded and looks retarded. His style is more slow paced impact oriented old school. More storytelling through moves and action rather than flashy shit that goes nowhere. And he's right.
Ayden Torres
WWE is dead. Wrestling is more successful now than it has been in 20 years everywhere else.
Kevin Jenkins
it's a sit down neckbreaker
Dominic Baker
>Wrestling is more successful now than it has been in 20 years everywhere else. Doesn't matter. No new fans created, wrestling is still cold. The "success" of minor feds like AEW and various indies still operates inside the woeful, withered niche wrestling has become. The only place wrestling is genuinely meaningfully thriving is Japan. America is fucked.
Samuel Long
If wrestling was dying AEW wouldn’t exist.
Dominic Taylor
It's a modified brap attack with theatrics
Brayden Myers
It's existence doesn't matter. The fans are just WWE fans, They're not booming wrestling, they have like 800k viewers. Their viewers are just the same boomers. Their existence is indicative that Cody struck a rich vein of disenfranchised WWE fans and nothing else. They're just leeches suckling the carcass of Amerimutt wrestling for a few final dimes from the obese E-Smarks before it finally kicks it.
Gavin Kelly
It would because a money mark is using his daddy's oil money to invest in it. 800k is laughable.
Wyatt Ross
This is an impressive level of anal devastation even by "AEW dares to just exist" standards.
Matthew Morgan
Vince has been killing wrestling since 2001
Isaac Mitchell
Nice "argument"
Michael Thomas
>point out wrestling is dying (it is) >U-U MAD, U MAD You should be happy. Wrestling's only chance at genuine rebirth and renewal is death.
Juan Jones
Remember that part in his shitty movie where he kept cutting himself?
Kayden Scott
go rebirth yourself
Nathaniel Reyes
But nobody hired CM Punk to do anything.
Noah Rodriguez
When will you idiots understand that wrestling not being mainstream doesn't mean it's dying. Contrary to what retards believe, being a niche market can be completely sustainable and even better because it filters the casual scum. See Card games, fighting games or some anime genres even. Game of Thrones was able t ogrow as big as it did when it was niche, when it became mainstream it all went to shit.
Mason Edwards
>See Card games, fighting games or some anime genres even All thriving >Game of Thrones Pointless point about how you thought the quality went down when it became popular. You're right but it still grew.
Henry Reed
>Bends the arm the way it's meant to bend Bases
Isaiah Smith
Cody is fucking dumb
Nicholas Garcia
I want Punk on the JRE, or Jim at least needs to comment on this.
Henry Cook
Punk was never a work rate fag his matches depended on the stories he built around them.
Cooper Stewart
>(You) >When will you idiots understand that wrestling not being mainstream doesn't mean it's dying. Contrary to what retards believe, being a niche market can be completely sustainable and even better because it filters the casual scum. >loses popularity >loses recognition >nobody cares about it >"th-this is fine!" >Card games, fighting games or some anime genres even Literally mainstream interests.
Xavier Mitchell
WWE is more successful than all your tranny feds combined, kid.
Brody Rodriguez
Poor cm punk having fantasies of being brought in somewhere to teach something he never knew himself.
Carter Morris
reading would be your friend
Camden Rogers
Isnt that Bayleys new finisher?
Gavin Mitchell
This. He's so detestable.
Jose Hall
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that in his match.
Lucas Jenkins
Maybe, if the "back in my day" wasn't still in the past decade.
Ryder Thomas
>no new fans created
I was just at AEW last Wednesday and there were was a group of 7 year old girls in front of me that knew more about the show than I did including singing chris Jericho's entire song as he came out
William Stewart
>AEW >kids nice headcanon
John Collins
this
Julian Martinez
What AEW is doing and what NXT was doing is everything this little faggot screeched for
Justin Brown
>AEW drawing the young thot dimes Based
Parker Ward
there's kids dressed up like Darby or Cassidy in the arenas every week
