This was great. CM Punk is such a narcissistic, hypocritical dickhead and I love it. He’s proper had to swallow his pride about WWE. Criticising some AEW wrestler for pandering to Dem Wans in a promo, while simultaneously admitting his “I left professional wrestling in 2005” rubbish was him doing the same thing, then trying to split hairs about how when he does it it’s magic. And his Phil Hardman act is always hilarious. The highlight though was him casually discussing how Tony Khan is a clown and AEW isn’t a real business - both obvious points that anyone who follows wrestling has known for years, but it was something of an open secret before. Nobody from there has ever come out and said it outright. It must be absolutely devastating for Tiny to hear one of his heroes saying that in public. I bet he wasn’t pumping his fists and chanting “CM Punk” while watching this. Punk made millions being the favourite of Dem Wans, that was his core base, and he’s not only split that audience in two over the last year and a half, he’s been actively alienating the wans who chose the Young Bucks over him. There are people who used to see him as their hero who now despise him, and there are people with semen-covered ROH DVD collections who can’t stand Colt Cabana and the Jacksons anymore. Punk’s probably responsible for Meltzer’s subscriber base finally falling too low to sustain print editions of the fanzine. I suspect he’s too fragile and broken to ever do much in the ring again, but ice cream Phil’s return to the major league is already worth it just for this grand display of shithousery. I suppose his next Helwani interview won’t be until he’s fallen out with everyone in WWE again. Happy WrestleMania week!

I loved the script when I was 20, but not a big fan of the film. I've lost interest in Kevin Smith's work in general over the last ten years.
