CM Punk was a guest on Brandon Walker's Rasslin podcast. He talked about AEW and roaming in general.
: Question 1
How you saw AEW before signing !?
"Yes, there have been shows from time to time that I have missed, but obviously I have watched enough to get to the point where I realized 'yes, I want to work there'. . 'I think there are two points of view here. You can look at something and talk about something bad or wrong, or "oh, I wouldn't do that." But I immediately walked away from that and started to focus on positive things, and a lot of that. it's just talent on this team, they may not have a special someone, but there aren't a lot of people the guys listen to. And over and over again I tell young people behind the scenes: There is no one way to make something perfect. There are ways, things and situations that have been tried. It comes with experience, but most of the time you just have to let a few of these guys fail and let them figure it out on their own. This is 100% true. And I would rather you experience it for yourself rather than just listen to me. I want everyone to have their "oh yeah" moments. ":
:Question 2
About the Owen Hart Fund Agreement !?
" No one told me about the Owen Hart Foundation agreement they made with Martha Hart. As a fan of wrestling, I am still shocked by this news. Amazing AEW Look - For 20 years there was only one place and if you didn't want to deal with it, according to the masses, you are insane. But now the Owen Hart Foundation, Martha Hart and CM Punk are with AEW. They brought me back after 7 years of absence and then did what I thought was unimaginable. We will get Owen Hart characters, Owen Hart t-shirts, Owen will appear in the next video game. That's amazing for his legacy. "
:Question 3
On the competition between him and Brian Danielson !?
" I don't think there is competition between us. I think there is a lot of will and desire not only to fight each other in the end, but to have fun with all these new toys. We have all these damn new guys and I keep talking about how I want to work with him. There are many possibilities. You know, for the first time in a long time, the water is as cloudy as it used to be. I remember thinking in 2002 and 2003 that Eddie Guerrero was easily the best fighter in the world. I remember that Samoa Joe was the best fighter in the world in 2004. It is a kind of animosity for the best in the world. It's been Brian Danielson for a couple of years, and I think when you follow all the wrestling news, it always feels like there was a guy who said, "oh, this guy is the best" because I was in a company that never it really positioned me as something superior. He had to fight for everything and he knew it. Yes folks, it's pretty obvious. That attitude helped me develop the character and now I think everything is quite subjective. We can say that Brian Danielson is the best in the world. We can say that this is Kenny Omega. There is an opinion in favor of Roman Raines. New Japan also has its own friends. Where else can you see AEW talent fighting New Japan talent or New Japan talent fighting independent guys? There's a whole "forbidden door" aspect of AEW that has to be very exciting if someone wants to know who the best fighter in the world really is. Well, if New York is the center of the wrestling world and you know so much about reviews, prices to buy, sell tickets and everything else, then AEW is the best wrestler in the world because we just gathered 20,000 people for us Arthur Ashe .
