Should CM Punk Have Apologized? | Notsam Wrestling Update
CM Punk's promo on The Usos
I'm sorry that Roman Reigns disrespected Dusty Rhodes and never having to apologize for that. I'm sorry that Roman Reigns treated you guys and the rest of his family like garbage for years.
The Usos attacking CM Punk
There's only one reason that somebody does a thing like that. Jay shoves him. Jimmy Uso punches CM Punk right in the side of the head. Boom. Not a wrestling punch, a punch.
CM Punk's strategy
Is CM Punk putting his friendship with the Usos aside because his goal to get to WrestleMania is that strong? Because his match with Roman Reigns is so important that he's willing to sacrifice those friendships?
CM Punk's character arc
CM Punk crossed the line already. CM Punk has established he is not apologizing. You can punch me in the face. You can demand it. You can do anything. There will be no apology issued.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns storyline
That shot at Sika, at Roman's dad, it defined Roman's vulnerability in the sense that that is what he's sensitive about. It reminded us how seriously not only he, but his entire family takes his family.
Blurring of reality and fiction
The conversation about what CM Punk said is so blurred now between us talking about it in the context of a storyline versus us talking about it in the context of did Phil Brooks go too far. It's created this entirely new dynamic.
WrestleMania stakes
If Punk wins, then it's almost like, hey, man, that's what you got to do to beat Roman Reigns. If he loses, it's hard to go on TV on Monday after WrestleMania and say, hey, I gave it the college try.
CM Punk's refusal to apologize
If CM Punk was sorry, he wouldn't have said it to begin with. If CM Punk didn't mean it, if he didn't want this smoke, he wouldn't have said it to begin with.
Fan theories for Roman Reigns' response
There's a huge contingency online. And you know what they're hoping to see? Roman Reigns talk about CM Punk's dead dog. I don't know if I need Roman Reigns cutting a promo on a dead dog.
