Let's not pretend CM Punk doesnt respect Cesaro nor think the world of him. He literally wore Cesaro's shirt while he was WWE champion to the Wrestlemania press conference and told reporters that he is a massive Cesaro fan. Go find the clip yourself if you dont believe me. The guy brought Cesaro's name into rooms he couldnt get into himself. He's also part of the reason Paul Heyman became high on him and why Paul eventually picked him to be his next Paul Heyman guy

Lol punk saw the script, thought nah, there’s no way im takin three 4 minute cesaro swings .

Punk says stupid things in a press conference and now suddenly everything about punk is bad.... HHH was absolutely right about punk but y'all fans are trying to villainise everything about him and it's weird

[@Mclovinit8171]

I think its more the media then the fans. The media is the ones pushing this narrative punk is an asshole which i mean he is but lets not pretend the young bucks arent dickheads and probs did exactly what he said they were. Also he isnt wrong in anything he said abt cabana or page so yeah I dont get it either to me hes just the same guy hes always been. Hes always been outspoken and smart, people just dont wanna hear it bc hes talking abt their little favs like hangman and the bucks.

I loved wrestling growing up and yeah of corse I knew it was fake the entire time. I absolutely hated when people said, “you know it’s not real” as if they were actually tell you something. That being says, this entire cm punk shit needs to stop, no dude he’s not afraid of you, It’s a scripted match. I know you guys can get hurt doing this stuff but shut the hell up. That and Batista “bragging” HHH never best him. It’s a gag once or twice, but after a decade it seems like you believe it to be some type of accomplishment

[@Kevin.berger]

@@otaieb48 The ironic thing is that I don't deny that he's talented. I just recognize the fact that he's an abrasive asshole, and while I am sure that some backstage politics were involved, I think his own attitude and behavior contributed to him hitting a glass ceiling.

[@XMB45]

To be fair, getting the confirmation of being fired on your wedding day is a bit much. I reckon he expected the termination papers, just not on that day 😅

[@romxxii]

@@Kevin.berger "talent" is subjective in this case. None of his matches are what I'd call "great feats of athleticism. Nor are they filled with beautiful chain-wrestling sequences. In fact most of the time, people who defend him as a "Great wrestler" will lean into his "storytelling" or his promo. And honestly, if I wanted an above-average wrestler with great storytelling and promo, I'd rather watch Adam Cole.
