Not bad for someone labelled selifsh.
While speaking with Marc Raimondi of ESPN, CM Punk was asked what made him want to return to pro wrestling after a 7-year hiatus.
“F*ck buyrates and million-dollar gates and everything. That’s what this s*it is about. What’s the best part?” Punk asked rhetorically. “The best part is making these new relationships and showing guys what a lot of guys never showed me but should have: to not be a dick to these kids who just want to be pro wrestlers …
There’s people that I shared locker rooms with that I wish I could have just talked to like a normal person and picked their brain. But everybody is like so guarded. I literally just want to show them I’m an open book. I’m here. I’m walking around all day [backstage]. Whatever you need, I’m literally here for you. It’s a full-time job, baby. Literally. But I love it.”
