CM Punk says he ‘didn’t really understand’ Kevin Nash’s criticism
Kevin Nash’s comments about CM Punk’s wrestling attire have now finally attracted a response from Punk.
Recently, speaking with ComingSoon.net for a new interview, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion addressed Nash’s criticism and claimed that he did not understand it.
“Yeah, you know what, I can say it had nothing to do with him, but obviously, the genesis of the story was him saying that I wrestled in a shirt, and I never wrestle in a shirt. So I didn’t really understand what the criticism was. But thanks. You’re right,” Punk added. “I did that to make people I was in the ring with laugh because when I’m on a house show, to me that’s what it’s about. It’s about having fun.”
“If the fans see us having fun, they’re having fun. I like to keep it light. I like to make people laugh when I’m on the road, and I’m away from my wife, and people are away from their families. That’s our family while we’re on the road, and I’m kind of the joke-y guy. I’m gonna have fun on a house show.“
A few weeks ago, WWE legend Kevin Nash made the headlines when he critiqued CM Punk for wrestling in a t-shirt. Shortly after, Punk responded to the comments by wrestling with two t-shirts during his live show match against Bronson Reed. However, Nash’s comments were not limited to Punk’s attire but also surrounded his wrestling style.
