AEW veteran compares CM Punk to to Paul Heyman

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently compared CM Punk to the Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief, Paul Heyman. The Best in the World and The Wiseman have worked together on WWE TV back in 2012 and till 2013 and share a friendship that goes back decades.

On the latest episode of Grilling JR, the veteran commentator was asked about his perspective on The Bloodline member, and Ross mentioned that he had known Heyman since his WCW days.

"He's [Paul Heyman] a different breed, he's CM Punk kind of a guy, different breed of cat. But he learned to control his emotions and temper his outbursts in his public displays of anger or frustration, something negative. But he was really special and still is, obviously!" - JR said.
