CM Punk sees himself in the fans who tear his industry apart.
The former Undisputed WWE Champion sat down with Sean Evans for Hot Ones: Extra Heat on Netflix, and the conversation turned to horror. Asked whether he had ideas for a Friday The 13th reboot, Punk did not need a second to think.
Yeah. I mean, give me a pen, a paper, and a budget and I’m your huckleberry.
Then he made the connection to his day job.
Because I’m such a fan, I’m constantly, this makes me relate with the wrestling fan, right? The wrestling fans who’s like, ‘Ah, this stinks’ and they just, you know, like nobody hates wrestling more than wrestling fans. Nobody loves wrestling more than wrestling fans.
Punk counts himself in that group when it comes to the things he cares about.
So, I am one of them and I get it when it comes to the properties that I really like.
He wants more Jason Voorhees, and he wants it on a schedule.
I’m cautiously optimistic, we should be getting a new Friday The 13th movie like once a year, every two years. It’s been a drought, it’s time to end the drought.
He is not wrong about the drought. The last Friday The 13th film was the 2009 remake. The franchise returns next month in a different form, with the A24 prequel series Crystal Lake premiering on Peacock on October 15.
