CM Punk: Wrestling Needs A Kick In The D*ck

CM Punk believes there is nothing better than professional wrestling when it's really good, but he feels the current landscape of the industry "needs a kick in the d*ck."

Speaking to TV Insider ahead of the series premiere of Heels, Punk said: "I think the older the stuff is the better. I think it's partly unfortunate that WWE owns the super good libraries in pro wrestling. I think that stuff is classic and they don't even put it on their network. They are sitting on it. I want to watch Austin Idol versus Jerry Lawler in Memphis.

"I do think the landscape of pro wrestling in general really needs a kick in the d***. I think we are about there. I think there are people out there stirring the pot and causing trouble in a good way. It's a fun world. There is nothing like it. Pro wrestling gets crapped on by a number of people. But when it's done on a high level and it's really good, there is nothing better."

CM Punk hasn't competed in a professional wrestling match since 2014, but The Straight Edge Superstar looks set to return to the ring with All Elite Wrestling at Rampage: The First Dance on August 20.
