CM Punk Says He “Can’t Get In Trouble” for Upsetting WWE

CM Punk recently was on The Herd with Colin Cowherd where he addressed his new role on WWE Backstage and if he is concerned about WWE being upset. Below are some highlights with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions.

“I’m not concerned about it, I think honestly that’s the appeal of the job,” Punk stated. “We’re (FOX) going to pay you and come here and be an analyst, and you get to critique the old place you work at. I’m not here to play a spoiler, and I’m not here to pour gasoline or anything and set everything on fire.

“I think deep down I loved pro wrestling as a kid and I think it can be better. I always voiced my concerns and criticisms while I worked there, and now I don’t work there and now I can’t get in trouble for it.”

Punk went on to state how he thinks the product could be better:

“Let people breathe, let people be themselves, let people be less scripted,” Punk said. “If everyone is speaking from one voice and one person’s writing the script and the dialogue’s all the same from one person, then it’s one voice. Imagine every quarterback in the NFL running the same play every Sunday and every Thursday.”
