On a recent edition of Booker T’s “Hall Of Fame” podcast, AEW broadcaster Mark Henry discussed CM Punk being stuck in his ways following his firing from AEW this past month.
Punk was released by AEW following his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CM Punk’s mentality being similar to sports guys: “I feel like that Punk is a lot like some of the people in sports that I know. The people in sports, they hate the fact that college football and college students are getting paid money now. It’s an old school mentality. And the old school mentality rubs young people the wrong way. Young people call you a boomer, or they say you’re old or outdated or whatever.”
On Punk being stuck in his ways: “Some people are stuck in their ways, Book. And Punk is stuck in his ways. And that’s not a knock. I like conviction, I like somebody that can stand to their guns, and they can debate with you on the fact that, ‘You know what? This is why sometimes being old will save your life. Because I know better, I experienced it. I went through the fire.’ And I feel like Punk’s delivery of some of that conviction fell on deaf ears.”
