Eric Bischoff Is WRONG About CM Punk

Eric Bischoff is making it clear that he’s no fan of CM Punk. Eric Bischoff spoke to Wrestling Inc and has CM Punk fans, like myself fired up.

Bischoff said this to the website:

”He’s old, he’s fragile, he was never in great shape to begin with, he didn’t start out as an athlete, and now at (44) years old he’s fragile as hell,”

Punk’s status with AEW has been in flux since he went off on the All Out media scrum. Many wrestlers, fans and pundits of the business are wondering what is going to happen. I’m hoping for a CM Punk return but it looks like promoting legend Eric Bischoff is not.

“…he’s just another guy. So I don’t see the value. I can’t imagine it.” - Eric Bischoff

I completely disagree with Easy E. CM Punk still provides a ton of value to any wrestling company. Especially now. You can argue there’s more hype around CM Punk right now than there was this time last year.

There’s talk that CM Punk could wrestle anyone from Stone Cold Steve Austin to Kenny Omega to Okada to Roman Reigns. Name me one other wrestler that has that many possible dream matches? That could actually be possible.

CM Punk is still a hot commodity and had a year to prove that he can still go in the ring. When Punk came back he barely lost a step. He’s still an alpha on the mic and in the ring.

For Eric Bischoff to say that Punk isn’t worth it is crazy. I think Eric’s still salty over the comments made by Punk about comparing his debut to the nWo’s in 1996.

It’s a good thing Eric Bischoff isn’t the one calling the shots in AEW or WWE. Follow along on Twitter for more wrestling opinions and updates. Keep it locked here. Video coming later today on this.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
