Curtis Axel On How CM Punk Helped Him During His Career

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, โ€œHe does get a bad rap. He helped me out a lot. Iโ€™m friends with him. Weโ€™ve been boys. Weโ€™ve had battles, bad battles, all over the world. Heโ€™s 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 โ€˜donโ€™t give a hell about whateverโ€™ and you just go and do you. If you donโ€™t have self-confidence and โ€˜Iโ€™m better than you,โ€™ then youโ€™re going to fail. Punk has always had that. I have nothing but respect for him. Heโ€™s helped me. I would love to fight him again. Weโ€™ve had some battles. Weโ€™re both Heyman guys.โ€
