5 New Wrestling Podcast Partners we’d love to see team up with Conrad Thompson

#2 CM Punk

CM Punk is an all-time great talker.

CM Punk was a talented performer inside the professional wrestling ring. However, when fans look back at his legacy in the business, there’s little question that he’ll be best remembered for his promo work; he was quite arguably the best performer on the mic of his generation.

Punk has carried on his outspoken ways in his controversial visit to Colt Cabana’s podcast, The Art of Wrestling, as well as a more recent open discussion at Conrad Thompson’s Starrcast 3 in Chicago. Even five years plus removed from the pro wrestling spotlight, he remains one of the business’s most intriguing voices, and someone fans are all too eager to flock to listen to.

In addition to Punk being a natural choice to feature on a podcast in general, his wrestling experience offers a unique perspective to a show in Thompson’s deep dive format. Yes, Punk was a WWE main eventer, and his tenure with the company, including his time in developmental, spanned nearly a decade. On top of that, though, he was a top star for ROH and other smaller promotions who worked an extensive catalog of stars before they were famous, and thus could offer rich discussion in long form conversations.
