![]() And many believed, despite rumors of a huge push this summer against a heel Batista, that Punk was going to leave the WWE in July when his contract was up anyhow. Because he's openly said he's wanted to retire. Which brings me to the fact that it being the last thing he wanted to do in the business probably hurt his chances of ever doing it. And top-lining 'Mania was probably the last thing he wanted to do. And what seems to drive him the most is achieving certain benchmarks. It's part of his weird bucket list thing. Because Punk wants the 'Mania main event. He saw fighting Triple H at 'Mania as Grade-A Suckitude. And, for better or worse, there'd be more mid-card matches built around storylines. Two guys were gong to lose out on almost every PPV. One of the things I warned you all about when it came to the title unification was that there was going to be less room at the top. Daniel Bryan should be the Main Event of 'Mania 30 - for the WWE World Championship. Which would then lead to, as has been planned for months, Punk vs. ![]() But he left before the show started, telling Vince that he was "going home." He was slated to lose to Antonio Cesaro (via Kane distraction) so that Cesaro could be in the Elimination Chamber, setting up Punk vs. So last Monday, Punk was there backstage. And there are reports that many folks backstage are "not unhappy" that he's gone.whoops. And for months now he's been hurting, burned out, and dissatisfied with his storyline. That being said, he's also very vocal about lame booking (among other things) and has, of all people, Vince McMahon's ear. So let's start with this: Punk is a bitch to work with. We've all had time to get most of our hysterical grieving out of the way (which in the Internet age lasts approximately 16 to 20 hours, depending on the individual) and now everyone's gone into Charlie Day "Pepe Silva" crazy conspiracy board mode. So much has been reported on, and speculated on, that I'm just going to try and give you guys the basics. ![]() With thanks to Fightful for the transcription.So it's now a full week later. Just like FTR didn’t have to have a wrestling match with us, they could have just been like ‘I’m not wrestling them.’ So for guys of their caliber to have such an interest in the young talent and try to better the next generation is really cool.īrock Anderson is joined in AEW by his father and legendary Four Horsemen member Arn Anderson, who recently discussed the prospect of whether he’d want to take an office job with the company. Just for a guy of CM Punk’s magnitude, the top guy in the business at the time, to take the time to two greenhorns what did right, what did wrong, and what can improve on… that was a really cool moment and I just have to acknowledge it because there’s no reason that he had… he didn’t have to do that at all. We were like oh, and a light bulb went off and he was like ‘Alright, what do you think you did wrong?’ and we listed all of that off. He pulls me and Lee into his room and says ‘Alright, what do you think you did right?’ We had an opinion that we thought we did something good, and he’s like ‘Absolutely not.’ He told us what we did right and it wasn’t even what we thought it was. Just to get in there and have that learning experience and learn from somebody better than you, that’s the only way you learn in this business.Īfter the match, CM Punk took the pair aside to discuss both what they had done right in the match, and what they had done wrong.Īfter the match… for a guy of CM Punk’s magnitude, to when we come back through the curtain, he motions us over and. We didn’t come out with the win, but I don’t think me and Lee were expecting to come out with the win. I remember that night, it was Rampage and the crowd had been sitting there for a little bit but they bought in because they’re the best. ![]() They’re on fire right now, they’ve got all the belts. This Summer, I think they finally started getting the praise they deserve because they are the best. I’m glad they’re starting to get the recognition that they deserve. So to get in there and learn on the fly from those guys is an absolute privilege. They’re the best, they’re gonna bring their A game and they expect you to bring your A game. Well for me and Lee, I don’t think it’s out of bounds to say that Lee views them in the same light as I do, they are the greatest tag team in the world today. In a discussion on The Family Business Podcast, Brock Anderson discussed how much the match meant to them.
