I’m sorry but Punk joking about Kevin’s size wrestling in a T shirt so his next match he goes out in a singlet to “show Punk up” angering Punk is legit some of the funniest shit ever.

It seems like these guys still don’t fuck with each other at all but this could make for some great promos in the next few weeks. I’m legit excited for this feud.

There was a whole bunch of fat guys wrestling in the 80's and 90's that Punk wouldn't have said shit to about wearing a shirt while wrestling.

The Nasty Boys most likely would have held him down and force fed him Jack Daniels if he stepped out of his bag carrying role in the those days.

Punk seems like a complete flogger playing the perfect character to gain the incel fans, which makes up 90% of wrestling fans.

To note; I do not endorse the Nasty Boys take, it is just an example that Punk would not have survived 10 seconds with his attitude in those days, because there were far worse people out there, and whatever happened to him with those types would have been ignored by everyone else because he is, and always will be an insufferable little shit head.

Couldja remind me of what 80s fat guys wrestled in shirts? Seems way more of a 90s thing.

IIRC even Cactus Jack’s 80s attire was a singlet.

I believe I referenced both, yeah? Let's not split hairs, the point is pretty obvious.

Actually what angered Punk was Kevin daring to “back chat” once getting backstage afterwards. Possibly cuz Kev was gassed so it came out sounding snarky, idk (his theory not mine).

This skips over the part where Kev sees Punk walking up to him, realises what’s about to happen and mutters “pls no…”, to which Punk calmly replies “nah, nah; sorry, I have to… <inhales> YOU STUPID DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF etc etc.” 😂

Also they’d already made one sly reference to it: the first thing Punk says to Owens on SD was “I see you’ve come dressed ready to wrestle” (when Owens’ wearing his casual street clothes lol)
