#2 Former WWE Superstar CM Punk's opinion on the current professional wrestling landscape

From rumors of a professional wrestling return to his role in the upcoming drama television series, Heels, former WWE Superstar CM Punk has been a newsworthy figure lately.

During a recent interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Punk spoke about the current state of pro wrestling. He believes that the pro wrestling landscape "needs a kick in the d***."

"I think the older the stuff is the better," CM Punk admits. "I think it’s partly unfortunate that WWE owns the super good libraries in pro wrestling. I think that stuff is classic and they don’t even put it on their network. They are sitting on it. I want to watch Austin Idol versus Jerry Lawler in Memphis. I do think the landscape of pro wrestling in general really needs a kick in the d***. I think we are about there."

As per reports, CM Punk's recent in-ring work has received praise. Who do you think will be Punk's first opponent if the rumors about his AEW deal come true?
