if anyone wants some more info on punk and his brother mike
- He admits that yes, he did steal a lot of money from the LWF, and references Punks documentary by saying "I made a huge f***king mistake. Stole some money that didn't belong to me, but what they don't tell you in the documentary is that I paid all the money back. I understand it's a wrestling dvd and someone needs to get over with a sympathetic story, which it is - no doubt, but they don't show you the full version of the truth."
- Says it was a major mistake that affected his family and friends, and that he doesn't go a day without it being on his mind, but he tried to move on and mend fences with his family and friends - which he did, except for Punk.
- Says that he is tired of all the bulls*** on Punks wikipedia, internet message boards and CM Punk sub-reddit where he's portrayed as a f***ing villain who caused Punk to leave his family. Says that wasn't his intention and that he's tired of fighting it and he knows he can't beat the influence of Punk and the WWE machine and that Punks version will probably be the "true" account, but also says he doesn't want to fight it and has no ill-will towards Punk and realizes that Punk has influenced many kids to look up to him and adults to better their lives and he wouldn't want to take that away from anyone.
- When asked if he had any words for Punk in case he was listening or if he ever met him again, he was sort of taken aback and said:
"You know, nothing I could say here would sound honest or as sincere. I will say this, though: It's been almost 20 years since I talked to the guy. I'm sure things were different from what we remember, but I - it's just... It is what it is, you know? I mean, like... Would I... If I saw him on the street, would I be like 'hey dude'? ...I would say hi... I guess? ...but I wouldn't like, want to push - I don't know, man. It's such a tough question."
Host: That's okay, you don't have to answer if you don't feel-
"I don't HAVE an answer. That's the thing. I honestly don't HAVE an answer for that question. That moment... Whenever that moment or if that moment ever comes, I don't know what - I, I can't even imagine it, to be honest with you. All I can say is like I said, it's been almost 20 years, I'm sure the guy is pretty different from what I remember of him and I'm pretty sure I'm different from what he remembers. It would just be, uh... It'd be cool, how about that?
