This is the Busted Open Podcast.

CM Punk is truly a main eventer.

And Mark, this is something that when it comes to CM Punk, even when he was champion,

he was never the last match, he never closed out, WrestleMania, he's going to be able to do that

night number one of WrestleMania 41. Congratulations to CM Punk.

I'm very happy for him. Like, you know, that's like we, we said earlier.

There's not many people that get to do it. And when you do, it's pretty damn sweet.

His career is validated. I mean, he's a seam punk.

But it don't hurt to have those degrees.

These degrees on the wall, these are not mine.

These are my whites.

My degrees are in experience and in world travel and food and food. I have a PhD in food.

But punk now is getting this piece of paper on the wall.

And to be able to get that, I think is going to be not beneficial to him in his work,

but in his heart and his soul of wrestling, it paid off.
