WWE Superstar CM Punk explained what he often does when a referee is in a panic.
In his interview with SportsBible, CM Punk said he keeps his cool under pressure and isn’t afraid to call out referees when needed. Punk explained that he had to talk to people about how panic spreads during matches.
“If you have a producer that’s panicking and they’re hitting the button and screaming at the referee, the referee then in turn panics and starts screaming at the talent. If you’re in there with the wrong person, they’re gonna start to panic. I’ve been in there with referees that are panicking at me where I calmly turn them and I go, ‘Shut the f*** up! Calm down’.”
“That’s just a level of experience speaking though. I can very much see how the lesser experienced people, you panic, everybody’s panicking and you’re gonna rush. And it’s gonna look rushed.”
CM Punk believes the upcoming Netflix Unreal show will open fans’ eyes, as it shows all this happening live “I think that’s an aspect of this Netflix Unreal show that is going to be an eye-opener for fans because they’re going to see all that stuff happening in real time. I’m not necessarily concerned about pulling the curtain back too much because it’s all fascinating. Most of our fans are very intelligent, they know what they’re watching.”
