CM Punk’s Interview In 13 Shoot-Style Memes
Unless you’re living under a rock or Vince McMahon, you’ve heard CM Punk’s interview on Colt Cabana’s Art Of Wrestling podcast.
Punk put all his cards on the table, name-dropping Vince, Triple H, Ryback and Chris “Doc” Amann in what was often a scathing review of Punk’s tenure in WWE. Which raised eyebrows. And 5 big questions.
I’ve done a serious and detailed recap of his interview. But let’s face it. You were waiting for the memes.
Let’s do this!
1 – The Irony
Did you notice this?
2 – The Most Positive Thing About The Interview
Removed from all the physical and mental stresses he listed, Punk is now a mostly happy camper:
3 – Coming Back Too Soon
As Punk tells it, Vince called him several times during periods of recovery and convalescence for Punk to return early.
That explains why this happened:
4 – Thankfully, it never got to this point:
5 – Ole Doc Amann
Punk had harsh words for Doc Amann’s medical conduct, to put it mildly.
To paint you a picture, it was a step away from this:
6 – Wrestle Ryback???
AJ Lee doesn’t approve.
(To be clear, Punk didn’t state this in the podcast. But the pic was too good to pass up.)
7 – And Punk Clearly Suffered The Consequences
As he stated in the interview, wrestling the “hurty” Ryback “took 20 years off my fu***** life”:
8 – Full-Timers vs. Part-Timers
When Punk and Vince butt heads on the whole “part-timers getting over the full-timers” thing, Punk suggests Vince does the following, so Punk can take a breather:
9 – From PPV to the WWE Network
PPVs cost roughly between 50 and 70 dollars. But the Network was 9.99 a month, PPVs included.
How would the wrestlers get paid PPV-type points?
According to Punk, all he got from Vince was the run-around.
I’m pretty sure this eventually entered Punk’s mind:
10 – Triple Wellness
The Straight-Edge Superstar quickly mentions he asked Triple H if he took the same drug test he was touting Batista took and he wants Punk to take.
Dead silence.
It isn’t the first this topic has come up.
Could this be a real thing?
11 – No Long-Term Creative
The former WWE Champion also takes aim at the apparent absence of long-term storyline plans from WWE Creative, going as far as stating Vince’s focal point was “What is Cena doing?”.
12 – UFC? Barbaric!
Punk re-tells the tale of wanting to walk Chael Sonnen out the UFC octagon for a fight in Chicago.
Vince refuses, remarking UFC is barbaric and one day someone will die in the cage. Oh, but that’s not all, he then asks Punk if he knows women are going to be fighting in the UFC.
Appalling.
13 – Fired On His Wedding Day
As the interview comes to a head, CM Punk recounts his wedding day contained a very ominous stroll to his mailbox.
Therein was a letter from WWE. His termination papers.
Given that Punk had told Triple H the timing of his wedding, he was comfortable stating that the fact the letter arrived when it did was no accident.
