“I like your gimmick, kid!”
Most of CM Punk’s recent media appearances have been relaxed and positive. He talked to ‘Highly Questionable’ about going to the gym with Charles Barkley and cheekily showed Opie his scars. His appearance on Thursday’s episode of Off The Record with Michael Landsberg? Not so relaxed.
If you need to know what caused that dispute, check out the longer version of the interview on TSN. Punk answers Landsberg’s questions politely but can’t seem to steer him away from wrestling. When Punk asks him about it, Landsberg says he’s not talking about UFC because Punk’s “not a UFC fighter.” We haven’t always been the most pro-Punk site, especially given how things have gone down since January, but Landsberg is a total dick here and deserves worse than the polite joshing he got. How many times can you get asked “would you fight Justin Bieber” before you tell the guy to f*ck off?
Maybe Punk’s first opponent should be Landsberg. I’d watch that.
