Bill Simmons of Grantland.com interviews CM Punk
"Well, hi."
I’ve been waiting for this one for about a week: Bill Simmons, famous from ESPN.com’s Page Two and creator of Grantland.com, interviewed CM Punk and posted the audio from it today. (Click here to listen.) Punk discusses his new theme song, Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality,” how much of his infamous Monday Night Raw promo from last month was planned, how close he really was to leaving WWE to go home and sit on his couch, who influenced his career both as a wrestler and as a child, and what went into his invasion of the San Diego Comic-Con. He also puts over various members of the roster, so listen up for those. Simmons has a very laid-back interview style, and Punk seems to be totally on the level here; it’s an interesting listen and worth checking out.
Ratings didn’t jump for this so Punk is “you know ratings don’t really matter”. Never thought I’d hear something so TNA from him.
That’s true, Punk isn’t really an ass-coverer. Must have been something he just blurted out. As Bobby Heenan once said, “They can’t all be gems, Schiavone.” -E
