Former WWE Wrestler Chris Masters Talks WWE, A Story Between Vince McMahon And CM Punk

Former WWE wrestle Chris Masters sat down with Hannibal TV to give what was labeled as a “Shoot interview”. Masters spoke in length about working with JBL, John Cena and The Undertaker.
Chris Master spoke about his own personal issues detailing Title opportunities around 2005

I had my personal demons at that point that got in my way. You could tell Vince was going back and forth about possibly grooming me or putting me in a world title spot. I think I might have done things to lose faith in them and even then with the intercontinental title it was the same thing. They had me slated to win it, it was in a 4 way tornado match or something on Raw but that’s when they caught wind I had demons in terms of prescription pill difficulties and so that kind of ruined that opportunity for me as well. Yeah, I had opportunity even with the tag belts, Carlito and me were actually supposed to be win the tag belts at that Wrestlemania 21, that’s how it was originally slated but the decision was switched just the day before. 

Masters also told a story about Vince McMahon and CM Punk during a Tribute To The Troops Tour

 All I remember about that flight was everybody got hammered on those. Those were some of the wildest stuff that I encountered in the wrestling business was the trip over to the Middle East for the Tribute to the Troops shows because it was the only time I’ve seen Vince like really let his hair down and get buck wild man, like seriously. Like drinking and instigating fights. A lot of that was on Vince. I think Vince was trying, you never know with Vince. Vince was trying to peer pressure CM Punk into having a drink and I wouldn’t really know what to do either if I was CM Punk because part of me, maybe Vince is testing him to see if he could get CM Punk to break his will and then that’ll make Vince lose respect for him or whatever, 

Masters continued

CM Punk wouldn’t drink and then eventually it turned into, it went from CM Punk drinking to now, Hey, if you’re such a shooter CM Punk, how about you take on I think it was first, Shelton Benjamin and then after that, it was Carlito because Carli would, not shoot flirt but kind of mess with Maria (Kanellis) and flirt with her and I’m pretty sure CM Punk and Maria were together again at the time or were together at that point so I think kind of the boys really instigated that because we knew that CM was kinda annoyed with Carlito trying to mess with him and trying to kind of, I guess again, work flirt with Maria, not shoot flirt with her but I don’t even remember what happened. I mean I think Shelton, Carli, nothing happened with Carli and CM but I think Shelton and CM actually grappled a little bit but I mean, that’s no competition for Shelton and Sheltons a top-level wrestler in the world as everybody knows so, but it was wild.
