Hello and welcome to get the table on the round table discussion podcast with myself and will one and the deadly boys of what culture I'm also done

Michael did you discuss another burning wrestling issue and that issue today is the end of CM Punk because earlier on this week

WWE rejected the chance to re-sign CM Punk first of all Michael have your reaction to this news devastated heartbroken

gutted to see wwe make its first mistake of 2023

It like all joking aside

Devastating heartbroken like I like WWE. I like CM Punk. I wanted those two things back together

I did not care about

How we would have to walk back so much of what you said in the past. I didn't care about

The perceptions of maybe what he could offer physically

I didn't even care about the potential locker room problems that he might have caused why because I love him so much

I'd already kind of figured all that out in my head on behalf of WWE

So yeah, the story surprised me, but I guess you also have to be realistic

I've been like I'm already going through the seven stages grief and I'm at the point of like acceptance because it is CM Punk

I so I series was maybe too good to be true in hindsight

But I refuse to close it off. I got a problem relationship with his men actually

I know we're sending it over but I already described the title of this video

My immediate reaction was I was gutted as well like I know what the person is like

Oh, I get an idea of what the person is like because he can never truly know

I just was desperate to see that promo obviously I was desperate to see him in that context in the ring again

He's an absolutely tremendous in-ring storyteller literally everything he does matters and informs logically the next thing

the sheer level of detail and craft

He's an absolute genius at what he does
