CM Punk agréablement surpris par la AEW

En entrevue pour ComicBook.com. CM Punk a affirmé que son expérience à la AEW est au-delà de ses attentes.

Punk ne s’attendait pas à ce que ça se passe aussi bien pour lui.

Il mentionne que les réactions des fans sont plus importantes pour lui que les cotes d’écoute. Punk a lui-même “coupé le câble” chez lui et soutient que la AEW prouve son succès par ses foules importantes.

Punk ajoute qu’il n’a jamais été aussi heureux dans un ring.

“This run has been more than what I expected. I had expectations. They were pretty high. So far, they’ve pretty much shattered all that, and that’s just based on analytics and numbers of how well we’re doing.

“I’ve long said that I’m there for the fans in the building. Nowadays everybody is still focused on ratings numbers when cable is absolutely — I canceled DirecTV months ago. I just, I couldn’t do it anymore. It’s too convoluted.

“It’s too expensive. Streaming services are, I feel like, are the future. So when people look at ratings and say that wrestling is dying, I say, ‘Well look at our buildings. We’re selling out and we’re doing our first million-dollar gate.’

“So I don’t attribute that just to me. I attribute that to the spirit of AEW and everybody behind the scenes that makes it all work and makes it all click.

“But the run, my run specifically, my stuff as a whole, I’ve never been happier in a wrestling ring. I’ve never, to me, been telling more fluid, better, reality-based stories. It’s been a real treat.”

Punk en a profité pour louanger des lutteurs tels Dustin Rhodes, Darby Allin et MJF.
