CM Punk fala de gelados, do wrestling PG e onde estará o wrestling daqui a 10 anos
O WWE Champion CM Punk em entrevista ao RedEyeChicago.com para promover o próximo RAW falou sobre vários assuntos da WWE. Eis os highlights:
The "Attitude Era" needs to return? I don't think the WWE is going to go anything but PG. I don't see the need for the TV-14 rating because that was the past and we are opening new doors to fans across the world. Swearing to just swear isn't entertaining to me whatever you're watching. There are some things I get away with, but at the same time I have to remember it is a family-orientated show. I think the product in general is a lot better when we have to police ourselves, knowing that families are out there watching and listening to every word. The so-called "Attitude Era" is not needed in this day in age of sports entertainment.
Back in the early 2000s there were these popular ice-cream bars that had WWE wrestlers on them. You recently brought the idea back into play and there has been a lot of demand for them to make a return. Will we see them reintroduced by next summer? I really am hoping that does happen. A lot of people don't realize that when I mouthed off about the ice-cream bars they wanted them the next day. It's a licensing issue, and we are working with the proper people to bring them back. We want them back by the "ice-cream season," as you can say, so next summer is a good possibility. Although I don't think there is a day where I wouldn't go without eating ice-cream.
Where do you see the wrestling product in 10 years? Hopefully in a better place than it is now. I would like to see younger talent introduced to the fans and they get chances to show they have what it takes. I've been very vocal about the things that are wrong with the sport and hopefully they are being looked at to be changed.
As for what I'm doing in 10 years? I don't know what I'm doing in the next 10 minutes but surely I don't want to be in the ring 10 years for now. I know guys that have done it and I've done so much already in the sport. I would like to be one of those guys that doesn't need surgeries to continue to try to get that extra payday. Hopefully I can just disappear.
