CM Punk Explains Why He Didn’t Understand Kevin Nash’s Criticism
CM Punk issues further comment on the shirt debacle.
Punk made headlines a recent live event after wearing two shirts before his match with Bronson Reed. This incident came after Kevin Nash criticized Punk for wearing a shirt while wrestling.
A few days later, Punk followed up on the moment and said that he was just attempting to get a laugh out of Bronson Reed.
Speaking with ComingSoon.net for a new interview, Punk said that he didn’t understand Nash’s criticisms in the first place.
“You know what, I can say it had nothing to do with him but obviously the genesis of the story is him saying that I wrestle in a shirt and I never wrestle in a shirt. I didn’t really understand what the criticism was, but thanks. You’re right. I did that to make people I was in the ring with laugh because when I’m on a house show, to me, that’s what it’s about. It’s about having fun. If the fans see us having fun, they’re having fun. I like to keep it light, I like to make people laugh when I’m on the road and I’m away from my wife and people are away from their families. That’s our family while we’re on the road and I’m kind of the jokey guy. I’m gonna have fun on a house show.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Punk said that he learned a lot from working with Justin Long on ‘Night Patrol’. Fans can check out his full comments here.
