CM Punk continues to hammer the IWC.
The WWE World Champion had called out the online wrestling community for constant negativity and expecting surprise guests based on unfounded rumors during an interview on Tuesday.
The Straight Edge star continued with this attitude during his appearance on Busted Open Radio. He discussed the discrepancies in the reaction for Jey Uso in the arenas and online, mentioning how he remains extremely over with the live crowd:
“I’m battling with John Cena and Jey Uso over who sells more T-shirts on any given night. Everybody’s going crazy for his music. They’re Yeeting. They want him to run it back. This dude can go on TV for 10 minutes and just Yeet. But then you go on the internet and suddenly it’s, ‘Oh, he’s the worst wrestler alive.’ Is he? Or are you just being extremely hyperbolic?"
There's No In Between: CM Punk
CM Punk mentioned how people nowadays seem to have lost the ability to recognize a difference of opinions and they want everyone to hate the things they hate:
"Everything nowadays is ‘this is the best thing ever’ [or] ‘this is the worst thing ever.’ [It turns into,] ‘I don’t like this, so you have to not like it too.’ And it’s really just like—like what you like. Champion that. I try to stay away from the negativity."
The former AEW star went on to note how wrestlers live a public life where people feel very comfortable at pointing fingers and laughing at them even at the smallest mistakes. He claimed that Jey Uso is '100% fucking phenomenal.'
