[@chili015]

I'd imagine it's not easy for people who do a show about real sports every day to all of the sudden have to ask questions about something they clearly never watch. Anytime someone says, "Hogan, Flair, Undertaker...", that's clearly a sign of that's the last time they followed it and wouldn't know 5 professional wrestlers today. It's all good, though... love seeing the wrestlers come on ESPN every now and then and promote. And obviously McAfee is on board as well.

[@KrackDiesel]

[@chili015]

@@KrackDiesel - Well, obviously they prepped enough to ask about Drew McIntyre and SummerSlam. But they're not going to do years of research on all of CM Punk's career just for a 5 minute segment.

As a Chicagoan it’s always good to see Punk….wasn’t too big on him before finding out he’s from the City..but found myself rocking with his unapologetic attitude which is what we’re all about here. I loved how he stood on the fact Kobe is a much closer debate to Jordan than Lebron n Molly just says “interesting…” smh lebron is only hurting himself more as he tries to buy his way into another chip or controlling everything…sure Mike coulda controlled the sport he played in but it destroys the whole meaning of competition. LJ is cool but I honestly don’t have him overall better than Kobe no matter how many more stats he unlocks. He’s just artificial

Top 5 Wrestlers Favorites 1. Ultimate Warrior 2. The Undertaker 3. Jake The Snake Roberts 4. Bret The Hitman Hart 5. Roddy Rowdy Piper I’m two years younger than CM but we pretty much watched WWF in the same era (late 80s to early 90s). I never grew up with The Rock and Stone Cold. I stopped watching wrestling by 1992 after Shawn Michaels turned heel.

[@jrod2510]

Who asked? And seriously, Warrior? You've had your entire life to evaluate and re-evaluate your list, and Mr Cant Wrestle When You Cant Breathe Cuz You Gassed Yourself During Your Entrance is still on it? Also, you very much grew up with Austin/Rock & the Attitude Era - you were 15 years old at the time and either a freshman or sophomore in high school.
