C.M. Punk recalls his backyard wrestling days
WWE star C.M. Punk appeared on the 93X Half-Assed Morning Show on Thursday to hype Friday's WWE live event in Minneapolis. The hosts recalled Punk working in the West St. Paul Armory over ten years ago. "I wrestled there, god, this is over ten years ago," Punk said. "I wrestled there once a month. The place was very kind to me."
The hosts asked Punk about his Chick Magnet persona. He said he and his friends would get pumped up watching WWE pay-per-views that they went out in the backyard and wrestled. "That's actually how I got into wrestling, Punk said. "I didn't know of any wrestling schools or being trained or anything like that... It was the equivalent of me wanting to host a radio show and talking into tape recorder or something like that. I just went out and did it."
Punk said he didn't get a lot of support when he started in the business. He said it was hard to explain going to wrestle a show in Indiana at a bar in front of two people and not getting paid for it. "That's what you do to pay your dues," Punk said.
One of the hosts put over the storylines and how great they've always been. Punk laughed and said, "Well, I wouldn't go that far," which drew big laughs from longtime wrestling fan and show host Nick Born. You can listen to the interview at 93X.com.
