In a recent appearance on the “Gorilla Position” podcast, Drew McIntyre discussed CM Punk, mentioning that Punk has remained true to his personality and he filled Punk’s spot in WWE at WrestleMania 40.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CM Punk: “I’ve been pretty honest about my opinions. Huge name. Garners a lot of attention, not just from the hardcore fans, but the casual fanbase knows exactly who he is. He sells tickets, he’s a draw, but he’s a terrible human being. I was around him when I grew up, there are things I haven’t talked about, perhaps I won’t talk about until I’m face to face with him. He knows. I have certain feelings. Seems like much hasn’t changed, from talking to people that I know, in regards to his personality.”
On taking Punk’s spot: “He came back, I felt a certain way. He, instead of wanting to pull me aside, even backstage, never mind on television, and say, ‘Hey, you know, maybe I wasn’t a good person back then’ or ‘I was in a bad place.’ No, none of that. Just acted like everything is fine. Sorry mate, first chance I get in the ring, I’m going to mess you up. I didn’t just mess him up, I took him out and I took his spot.”
