Drew McIntyre doesn’t understand what WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart sees in CM Punk.
WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre was a recent guest on Huge Pop with Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas. While discussing the importance of what happens between moves in the ring, McIntyre used this as an opportunity to target CM Punk and question Bret Hart’s fandom of the former World Champion.
“The moves do matter, that’s a prerequisite,” Drew McIntyre said. “If you’re a wrestler and you don’t do the moves well, you shouldn’t be a wrestler. I shouldn’t have to say the moves are important because, of course, the moves are important. You should be able to execute them well.
“CM Punk, I don’t know how Bret loves him so much; he’s like the opposite of the Excellence of Execution. His moves are executed terribly, but he believes everything he says, and people buy his crap. Good for him, I guess. To me, as a wrestler growing up and as a Bret Hart fan, you should be able to do the moves well. That should be a given.
The moves done in the ring are important
“You shouldn’t have to talk about the moves because you should just do them. What’s important on top of that is emotional connection. How are you going to do that and connect with the fans? So many people worry about all the intricate sequences and whatever they’ve got in their head. All it takes is one split second of looking in someone’s eyes and see they are thinking too much or are not present in that moment.” [H/T: Fightful]
Recently, Bret Hart told Complex Sports that CM Punk is the best wrestler in the world today. This is seemingly something that ruffled the feathers of McIntyre.
