CM Punk calls out wrestling fans that complain about a rumored “big surprise guest” not appearing at event
While speaking to My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, CM Punk said the following in regards to brands of entertainment such as WWE that receive criticism from fans…
“I see it in wrestling. I see it with fandoms, with things like Stranger Things and all that stuff. People just seem to want to be angry about everything because it didn’t happen the way they fantasy-booked it in their head. And to me, that’s a slight mental illness.
Like, you know— ‘Hey, I bought tickets to go to this wrestling show, and then I look on Twitter and wrestling journalist 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reports that there’s going to be a big surprise guest. I go to the show, there’s no big surprise guest, and I spend an unhealthy amount of time complaining about it online.’
And it’s just like, well, you weren’t promised a big surprise guest. Somebody who probably knows less about what they’re talking about than you do—and is just a fan like you—made some sh*t up on the internet, passed it off as journalism, and now you’re getting mad at that.”
