Booker T Thinks CM Punk In TNA Would Work
Booker T believes CM Punk should go to TNA
CM Punk’s next steps in the professional wrestling world are currently unclear following his firing from AEW. The likes of WWE and IMPACT Wrestling have been discussed as potential destinations, though at this point things are still up in the air. One person who thinks that IMPACT (or TNA as they will shortly be known again as) is a good idea, is Booker T.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker thinks TNA and CM Punk would be a match made in heaven in terms of helping out younger guys, elevating the promotion.
“If CM Punk was to go to IMPACT Wrestling and be a part of that, that crew down there, I think it’s definitely something that, it could work. I really do. I think there’s a lot of young guys down there, I think there’s a lot of young guys, just like in AEW, that could learn and maybe look towards CM Punk for some guidance and whatever. I don’t know. I don’t know how well that’s gonna work out or anything like that. But that’s the way I see that…
"CM Punk is somebody that, I still feel like [he] has a lot of value for one of these companies out there, I really do. I’m not saying that TNA is a small fry or anything. I don’t think it’s about the size of the company or anything like that. I think it’s about the legacy that CM Punk wants to leave in the business, more than anything. I think the departure from WWE wasn’t pretty. I don’t think the departure from AEW was nice or anything like that. To be able to walk away from this thing and look back on it with some fond memories…you don’t get a chance to redo this.”
He would go on to discuss Japan as a possibility, but given CM Punk’s age and the style in Japan, it wouldn’t be so easy on his body, citing MVP as an example of someone who only spent a short spell in Japan despite it being his dream to go over there.
