People are still talking about the shocking return of CM Punk. Recently, former WWE Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff shared his thoughts on the Punk’s return.
During a Q&A session on the 83 Weeks podcast, a fan asked if Bischoff would trust Punk enough to put the World Title on him. To which he replied by stating that he was not sure how Triple H would tolerate CM Punk and the issues he could bring.
“I don’t know the culture that exists today. I knew the culture that existed last time I was there. I’m gonna be very vague, but I’m doing it intentionally out of respect, so please accept that. But I was in a meeting where Punk’s name came up, and all of the key decision makers in WWE at that time were in that meeting. That name came up and the conversation lasted all of three minutes, and that was the end of that. That was the culture then. I don’t know what the culture is now.
“Triple H used to work for me. Paul Levesque worked for WCW before he went to WWE, but I never got to know Paul then. A couple of conversations with him really. Even when I worked with him when I first went to WWE as a talent, very little conversation with Paul Levesque. When I worked there in 2019 for a cup of coffee, that’s where I interfaced with Paul Levesque more than I ever had in the previous 20 years, but even then I didn’t really get to know him. So I don’t know how Paul Levesque thinks and what his tolerance is for situations like CM Punk brings,” Eric Bischoff said. [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
