CM Punk was “burned out” while he was working in the WWE, said fellow wrestler Kevin Nash in a recent report. This comes after Mick Foley said Punk was in “considerable pain.”
Nash said, “I got the chance to hang around him a little and get to know him a little bit. And I was there during the Rumble when they were putting the Rumble together. He just kind of looked at me, you know like he just gave me these eyes like ‘do you believe this?’ You know, it’s like this guy is putting this match together and he shouldn’t be putting this match together. It should be the guys putting the match together. I could just tell that he was…”
He said that “Phil’s [CM Punk] not a small guy but he’s not a big guy either. And he’s one of the guys, he takes a lot of punishment on a nightly basis. He had a heating pack on his back and he was walking around that day and a year ago when we, he and I, were on the road together and we were in London working we fell asleep, like side by side on the floor.”
Nash added: “I woke up and I was paralyzed. It was just a couple hours asleep on the floor. I woke him up and I was like, dude, I can’t move if you don’t get up. So he got up and he got some heat on his back. We were in the trainer’s room and we were talking. I just asked him what his condition was. He really hadn’t even had an MRI at that point. I think he’s gotten an MRI since then and I think he’s got some degeneration in his
Foley also spoke about Punk’s departure, describing the situation.
“I have never been to a WWE event where Punk was not in considerable pain. Ice packs, heating pads, and visits to the trainer were as much a part of his daily routine as eating. sleeping, and wrestling. Performing at that level, in that degree of pain was only possible when accompanied by the passion that turned an unlikely Indy kid into one of the greatest WWE superstars of his generation, (sic)” Foley wrote on Facebook recently.
“Once that passions gone, then so are all of the things that made him great. I know what it feels like to go through the motions, and to do what needs to be done solely for the paycheck. It’s not pretty – and though I have not talked to Punk since the night before he left, I have to believe he has too much respect for what he does to let people see him going through the motions.”
Doubt Punk will be back anytime soon!
