Former WWE star Curtis Axel appeared on Monte and the Pharaoh to talk about a number of topics, including how CM Punk does get a bad rap but The Best In The World has helped him out a lot during his career.
Axel said, โHe does get a bad rap. He helped me out a lot. Iโm friends with him. Weโve been boys. Weโve had battles, bad battles, all over the world. Heโs been nothing but a help for me. I know where people can say he has a bad reputation because of his attitude, but you kind of have to have that with this industry. You have to have that โdonโt give a hell about whateverโ and you just go and do you. If you donโt have self-confidence and โIโm better than you,โ then youโre going to fail. Punk has always had that. I have nothing but respect for him. Heโs helped me. I would love to fight him again. Weโve had some battles. Weโre both Heyman guys.โ
