WWE Hall of Famer and pro wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page spoke with Wrestling Inc. on a variety of topics such as how he wouldn't have done what former AEW World Champion CM Punk did during the All Out media scrum, but CM has his own way and his own belief system and a lot of the things CM Punk has done in his life has worked for him. DDP also spoke about how Punk did a hell of a job as an actor in “Heels,” but he does not know what the future holds for Punk in AEW.
DDP said:
“I don’t know. I don’t know where that sits, but I would’ve done it completely differently. That’s the only thing I could say. I would not have aired the laundry of that moment. I just wouldn’t have done that. He has his own way. A lot of the things he’s done in his life of work for him, and he has his own belief system. I thought he did a hell of a job as an actor in “Heels.” I thought he did a hell of a job. I don’t know what kind of future he has. I mean, did they let him go? Is he gone? I don’t even know.”
DDP also spoke about how if former AEW World Champion CM Punk had a chance to do it all over again he might not have done what he did, but that is only his own point of view. DDP then spoke about how the former AEW World Champion has had an unbelievable career and he will be taken care of no matter what.
DDP said:
“Yeah. There was a lot of heat there, man. Just from what I see from the outside looking in, I don’t really get into that stuff. I don’t know if he would’ve — there’s a lot of guys who would’ve, put in that position, if they had a chance to do it over again, might not have done it. I don’t know if Punk would’ve done it exactly the same. Again, I can only speak from my viewpoint of, I know I don’t handle things like that. I just do things differently. I try not to put it in a spot where it’s going to create too much heat. I want a positive outlook on whatever it is. I mean, my whole life, Positively Page is a shoot, it’s not a work. I change people’s lives for the better. And if they don’t want to put the work in, I don’t have the time. So for someone like Punk, I think he’s had an unbelievable career … It’s not like he needed it. A lot of guys need to be there. That cat took off for seven years, and I’m sure whatever his thing they negotiate, he’ll walk away and he’ll be taken care of.”
