CM Punk wants Wrestling Twitter to move on from the “bad faith” actors that he believes are holding today’s pro wrestling back.
On Monday, Eric Bischoff released a clip from a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast where he spoke in detail about pro wrestling booking for a niche group being one reason the audience won’t grow. Bischoff used the example that if there were 1,000 people as a sample, 100 of them are the diehards that will always be around, but companies should be trying to hook the other 900 that will likely tune out and watch on occasion.
The @BackupHangman parody account replied, arguing that WCW did the opposite of what Bischoff was arguing now. CM Punk then responded, feeling like Wrestling Twitter needs to stop giving viewpoints like Bischoff’s attention, adding that it’s time for them all to move on.
“Wrestling twitter needs to stop amplifying all the old head bad faith bad take carny dipshits. They had their moment in the sun. Let them die in the dark with their ego podcasts. Quote me,” CM Punk wrote.

Bischoff responded with:
“Ok: “So, I’m not Hogan or Savage. Daniel Bryan and Adam Cole, they’re not The Outsiders, I see the parallels, but this is totally different. I’ll go ahead and say it and people can quote me and they’ll be p*ssed off about it, but to me, this is bigger.”
How’s that working out?”
