Earlier today, former WWE star CM Punk appeared on WTMJ-4 out of Milwaukee, and you can check out the entire interview below. The following are some highlights:
On Brock Lesnar offering him help in his MMA training:
“I’ve talked to him and he’s offered all his help, even if it’s just bug him with a stupid question. It’s cool to know he supports me. He’s a good guy to know, I think.”
On teammate Ben Askren criticizing UFC’s decision to sign CM Punk:
“I absolutely agreed with him. It didn’t make any sense. But me and Ben talked about it and we’re absolutely on the same page. I was offered something I would be a fool to say no to.”
On MMA and Pro Wrestling similarities:
“I think MMA is pro wrestling. If you go back to the early 1900’s and the whole genesis of professional wrestling, and then you go back to the early beginnings of MMA, it was all pro wrestlers.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
