PUNK STILL DONE WITH WRESTLING
Posted: 020219

Has No Interest in Going Back Ever-Unless of Course the Right Offer Comes Along

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting CM Punk was talking about him joining the commentary team for Cage Fury Fighting Championships and was asked about The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes potentially being involved in starting a new promotion: “I think at this point that whatever those guys decide to do will be great for them and their families. If I was asked what I would do or what I would say to them -- because they could obviously go to WWE whenever they want -- it’s just a matter of is this what’s best for your family? And I think we live in a time now where WWE is not the end-all, be-all. I don’t think it has been for quite some time. And I’m in a spot now where I’ve been gone what, five years? Maybe the place has changed. I’ve got people who text me and say otherwise, but there’s ways to make money and support your family outside of that. With also being able to satisfy the side of your brain that’s creative, the side of your brain that loves professional wrestling, the reason you bought a pair of boots in the first place. And I think those guys can definitely do that. I think they can command their price if they want there. But if they did go there, then they’d just be another guy -- just like everybody else on that show. It’s amazing, the more time the show gets, the less time it really seems they develop new the more time the show gets, the less time it really seems they develop new characters.” When asked if he’d have any interest in joining the promotion he told them “pro wrestling is not on my radar,” but mentioned that he’d be willing to listen if they made an offer: ◦“I would always listen. I would listen to them because I like the Young Bucks. But business is business. I know Cody was out there in the media saying that an offer was made for the All In event Sept. 1. An offer was not made. Calling me up or texting me saying, ‘Hey, if you want to come to the show and do something, we would love that’ is not an offer. There’s a couple more loose ends that I’m still trying to tie up to fully absolve me from the world of pro wrestling. I feel like I’ve still been attached to it since the day that I left it and that’s mostly because of lawyers and such. But we’re wrapping all that up and that’ll come to an end. And once I’m truly free, we can explore the world and just float and hang out. And I can walk my dog and drink coffee and do commentary and continue to train. And do all kinds of stuff. I’ve earned it, I’ve paid my dues.”
