FTR Talk About How CM Punk Helps Other Superstars Backstage
"I think it's a lot of things from the past, honestly," Cash Wheeler told DAZN's "The Walkway To Fight Club." "I think there's a lot of old grudges, there's a lot of old biases, and I think there's a lot of unresolved issues that are kind of tainting how people react to him now." Wheeler describes Punk as "nothing but nice and helpful to anybody that wants it," including himself and his partner Dax Harwood.
"I know there's underlying animosity once you're in wrestling for so long and especially at the top," Wheeler ruminated, "there's gonna be guys that don't get along because you're all vying for the same thing, you want the same title, egos are gonna hit.
It's inevitable." "He's not gonna give it that much time of day and that much notoriety because it doesn't deserve it. But I will say, there's two sides to every story, somewhere in the middle that's the truth. He's been nothing but a great person," Wheeler said.
According to Wheeler, CM Punk is actually a good mentor and has always been open to helping other professional wrestlers. "He's one of our best friends because we all share the same passion: Professional Wrestling," Harwood stated, "and sometimes passion can come off like being an asshole but he wants the best for us.
He wants the best for AEW and puts AEW above himself." Hardwood also mentioned a few names that received help from CM Punk. According to him, CM Punk would not help anyone if he went into business for himself. Hardwood mentioned that Will Hobbes went into CM Punk’s locker room once after his match.
CM Punk spent 30 minutes with him to tell him what he could have done better. CM Punk also went to Danhausen once to talk to give him some advice.
