#3 Former WWE Superstar accuses CM Punk of lying

Former WWE Superstar Simon Dean was recently part of the Smarks and Stripes podcast where he spoke about CM Punk and how the former WWE Champion had lied about Dean trying to get him fired.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Here is what Simon Dean said:

This is where every single syllable that came out of Phillips' mouth after this, has to be proven, it's not only a lie, but a complete made-up fantasy. The man stated that I and Al Snow tried to fire him and The Major Brothers. That's outta his mouth. This is not fictitious. This is not five years down the road. The man said it two weeks ago. You can go look at it. Those words came out of CM Punk's mouth.

I don't like Punk, I don't dislike Punk. I have no feelings towards Punk at all.

Simon Dean was part of WWE from 2002 - 2007 but failed to make a major impact. His claim to fame was his gimmick as a fitness instructor and the 'Simon System' workout he introduced.
