Another reminder that he's aged so much over the year but it's fine!

I wonder if there's any backstage footage of that night. Must be absolutely fascinating.

 

He'll come back in January looking ten years younger.

He's allergic to wrestling, I'm fairly sure.

The end of his AEW run, his Wolverine run in WWE before that; he just seems to have this terrible physical reaction to being around wrestling.

What I took from that was that he has a keyring shaped like a big pez and I was wondering where I could get one.

What was the score with CM Punk being on WWE programming on Fox a few years back but employed by Fox not WWE?

Fox hired him, to be on WWE Backstage. It had nothing to do with WWE. Fox wanted them to sign him to a contract, And Vince refused. Is how I remember it at the time anyway.

I think they had discussions but they fell apart pretty quickly.

All I remember about that show is when Punk cut a promo to camera and said 'You think you could take me? You couldn't take me bowling!' which is a cracking line to be fair.

But surely WWE wrote the content for WWE backstage?

He does seem to have this ability with absolutely cutting lines - "It's not always about me, but it's never been about you" has a certain bite to it that feels really personal.

[SwayWays]

Agreed. That was a cracking line, great delivery to be fair.

He was on a TV show, what do you want him to do? Wear a veil and put on an accent?

I was just suggesting knowing what old Phil is like he probably used that analogy because this scene of him at a bowling alley had become a popular meme.

Much better than his "Just when you think you have the answers, I change the culture" line. Just cringe all around. I know he's paraprhasing Piper, but fuck me it makes no sense. Didn't help he wasn't mic'ed up either. Awful stuff.

Unpopular opinion: I would have liked to see CM Punk feud with Ken Kennedy/Anderson at some point, because I still maintain that, for all his faults, Ken is also very good at making things seem really personal, and getting the "ooooooh" out of the audience with a cutting remark. The promos in the build-up would've been ace.
