Are You On CM Punk’s Side or Jack Perry’s?



CM Punk is no stranger to speaking his mind, we’ve known that for years. According to a report from Fightful Select, CM Punk and Jack Perry were involved in a backstage exchange over the latter wanting to use real glass on the show. According to Fightful, “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry wanted to use actual glass for a segment on Collision. According to Dave Meltzer, Perry wanted to use the real glass for a car crash angle. Punk reportedly said they don’t stuff like that on Collision and to do it on Dynamite instead. 


You may famously remember Goldberg cutting his forearm open after smashing through a limousine window on WCW Thunder back in the day. It sounds like CM Punk didn’t want a repeat of that, at least on his show. 


I understand Jack Perry wanting to do something cool and interesting but in my opinion, glass isn’t the way to do it. Now saying that, I don’t think Punk’s reported response of just straight up shooting it down and telling him to kick rocks was the best way to handle it. 


I wonder if this report would have gotten out if Punk played it differently. Maybe countering that with a big fall that Perry could take onto a cushioned mat. Something safer than cutting himself at least. But CM Punk handled it how CM Punk handles most things. Head on. 


Who’s side are you on? Did CM Punk have the right to veto this statement? Did Jack Perry overreact? According to Fightful, Perry was quite upset over Punk telling him not to do it. Fightful also reports that Tony Schiavone and the medical team advised Jack Perry against doing the spot. Perhaps CM Punk felt as the locker room leader he had reiterate that point.
