Tony Schiavone interviewed CM Punk this week on AEW Dynamite in Milwaukee. This was Punk’s first appearance on Dynamite.
Punk said guys like Penta El Zero Miedo, Rey Fenix, Brian Pillman, Jungle Boy are the reason he is back but he listed Darby Allin before all of those names. Punk said that he wants to retire the nickname the “voice of the voiceless” because there are people in the back who listen. Punk said that he looks at Allin and people wonder if Punk can still go and prove that he’s the best in the world.
Punk says he sees himself in Allin and sees someone who would have been his favorite wrestler when he was 15 years old.
The fans chanted “YES! YES! YES” and Punk said that is someone else’s schtick and fans will need to wait a little bit longer than that.
