CM Punk is those rare characters in the pro-wrestling history who is absent from the league for the past several years but we still can hear the infamous chants, almost every single week.
The superstars’ charisma was larger than life and hence WWE unruly behaviour towards the superstar probably increased his popularity, more than ever.
However, that did not affect his bitter relationship with the WWE. The lawsuit filed against him four years ago is still intact and does not look to come to any fruition in near future.
In recent times, CM Punk joined an interview with the windy city live where he sarcastically took a dig to his former employer, once again. He was asked by the interviewer when did he realise that he intends to join WWE as a performer?
In reply, he stated that he had not thought about that ever. Although he used to watch WWE as a kid, he dreamt of becoming a superstar in the Japanese promotions. These were his comments:
“I’m not sure. Obviously, I watched WWF as a kid, but when I made the conscious decision – WWF was never the end goal. I romanticised about Japanese wrestling. There were two companies in Japan, it was called All Japan and New Japan, and that was my thing.
“I was more about going over there and being a star over there, then coming home and just being completely – you can walk down the street and nobody knows you.”
Punk started his pro-wrestling career in the promotion IWA Mid-south where he became a five-time world champion. After that, he was associated with the Ring of Honour promotion for a short span before signing with the WWE in 2005.
The three-time world champion did show some respect to the biggest pro-wrestling company in the world where he rose to the fame. He stated that he wanted to give it a try to see if he can conquer it there:
“But I worked so long and hard at it that it became so boring, it became the last frontier was WWE. I had to go see if I could conquer that so I gave it a shot.”
