I used to be a huge Fan of Punk. Back in the days i never watched the Indipendent promotions because i was to young and only knew about WWE, but I instantly became a Fan when saw him first. His track record of having backstage beef speaks volumes. For example what he did with Jeff Hardy in 2009 was unacceptable. I still was too young to realise what was going on so i stayed a fan of him because of his talent. Know i am all grown up ad sadly have to admit, that i cheared for the wrong guy.

Uniquely Mick Foley didn’t do those promos and it’s why he’s my favourite. His promos were always “you’re the best there is… but” he always put his opponent over no matter who it was. Mick would just say that he had more heart or more determination or that he could withstand that pain and maybe just maybe the stars would align.

Reminds me of when he first brought Cactus Jack into the then-WWF - it was after Triple H had beaten the shit out of him as Mankind, and he cut a promo talking about how Mankind was "one tough SOB" but wasn't tough enough to beat Triple H, so he had to break out Cactus Jack to do it instead.

Go listen to any promo from Heyman, Cornette, Heenan, Cena, hell, even Undertaker. They never ever make light of their opponents before a match. They put them over; how tough they are, how fast/strong/technical etc they are and what a challenge it will be to be up against them. But then comes the "but"... But as good as you are, you will be put to the sword by the Beast Incarnate. The Midnight Express. The Head of the Table. Andre The Giant. Rest in peace. Basically, put the other guy over huge and then say "I will beat you." Btw, you refer to Mick Foley. Guess who had a major influence on his career? Both Heyman and Cornette. If you are sitting under THOSE learning trees... How can you possibly be bad? Of course Mick Foley was going to be GOAT level.

I think it was Edge, Christian and Chris Jericho who made fun of Punk when he did a locker room meeting and was trying to be the locker room leader while those three guys were there too. But that was already past the "WWE ECW" times what Rob is talking here, so guess there has been more of these occasions.

CM Punk always came across entitled to me. One of those guys who thought because he was good that he automatically deserved whatever he thought he’d worked for. He had great mic skills and a good run bashing the business, genuinely it was his best work, but he was never bigger than the guys he convinced himself he was. Not even close to be honest. He was hitting his peak when he quit and yet I don’t think anyone misses him the way we miss other legends like Austin, Rock, Undertaker, Kane, HHH, Brett Hart etc. and the list goes on.

I’m a huge CM Punk fan, don’t really know now since the incident. But, what RVD said is spot on. Punk is so uptight for no good reason. It’s always “someone’s out to get me.” Yeah, saints in wresting are few and far between. However, not everyone is out to get you, especially nowadays. They’re either doing their job or totally do not care. Punk and The Elite should all lighten the f up. Y’all are vets acting like it’s your first shot at being enhancement talent at a big promotion and you’re hellbent on getting to the top. Again, having an ego is fine. But, paranoia and delusions aren’t.

Rap has got kinda the same vibe as wrestling promos with egotrip and battles and flexing and the visual identity of rappers etc., but apart from this and maybe metal (that is more like based on attitude onstage and technique with playing instruments etc.) there's not really any of this that fits RVD's impression other than pro wrestling, he's right. Drawing the line between where to place one's ego and where not to is also interesting, he clearly sees the full spectrum of complexity in human interactions

AEW should not be hiring RVD because if they do they say stupid things. Look Eric you love AEW this much. But everything what RVD said is pretty true and he nailed it. But I was 20 years old watching WWE trust me and believe me. WWE they have been on top throughout the years than AEW. They started their show for 4 years ago. We started since 25 years for WWE. They don’t have truly respect people. But they are irritating others and other companies. When their is a problem I solve problems. But AEW doesn’t do a lot of the biggest matches than WWE does. Respect is earned not giving out and not UFC kind of thing. With all do respect I watch CM Punk in WWE history of this business but he is the best in the world. I get it you respect AEW but we have the same people has been Champions before in WWE. But if you want to make promo don’t just hey I’m a bitch or I’m better than you I hear those words many times but it’s not respectfully respect others it makes you wanna insulting them.
