I’m probably never going to see this much attention in my career so I’m just trying to enjoy it. This is probably only going to happen to me once the way the wrestling business is, with there being only one place to make a living and TNA trying their best to make it two places. Not that it’s ever a bad time to be CM Punk, but right now it’s a lot of fun. How do you like being talked about so much?ĬM Punk – It’s a good time to be CM Punk right now.

So him going him leaving, and again I don’t have confirmation, I can tell you that almost everybody believes that this is happening.” Phenomenal comeback story, great opportunity. Daniel Bryan is a great ambassador for the company. He’s part of that reality show the Bellas are very intertwined in the media, the PR of WWE, their ambassadors. “Who likes Daniel Bryan?
