CM Punk says WWE Wrestlepalooza is a “ridiculous” name

During an appearance on Pardon My Take, CM Punk discussed the importance of WWE’s upcoming Wrestlepalooza event…

“Well, it’s a big deal mainly because it’s our first PLE [on ESPN]. I’m still trying to, uh, warm up to not saying pay-per-view. My entire life it’s been pay-per-view. Yeah. Uh, but these are premium live events because pay-per-view is a dead technology. It’s a big deal because it is the first one on ESPN. So, new partnership with ESPN. Uh, and it’s a big deal. It’s why I’m here. We’re doing media. We’re trying to get everybody aware that, uh, you got to get the ESPN to see all our PLEs.

I’ve been doing my best to not say the word Wrestlepalooza the entire time. That might actually be the first time I’ve said it. It’s a ridiculous name. Well, Lollapalooza, right? And you add wrestle to it and you kind of understand what you’re getting. It’s pretty self-explanatory.”
