Ahead of a much-anticipated potential future WWE match, Drew McIntyre has taken aim at the modern CM Punk and compared it to his first run in the company.
With CM Punk getting closer to a return from injury, fans are eagerly anticipating seeing he and bitter rival Drew McIntyre finally face-off one-on-one in WWE.
Speaking on his rivalry with Punk in a recent interview with Cultaholic, McIntyre was asked whether there were any similarities between himself and Punk.
McIntyre explained that any similarities were more between he and the Punk of the past, rather than the “corporate shill” version that returned to the company last year.
McIntyre said:
“No, absolutely not. I believe that maybe now I have some similarities to Punk in the past and not the terrible similarities that include a genuine and horrible person, and I believe he still is just very good at putting on an act. But he was anti-establishment.
“He did speak his mind, even if people didn’t always agree with him or believe him. It was his truth, and he always marched to the beat of his own drum and spoken the truth, even if he meant to be a dick because he was, but now that’s not the case.
“He is the corporate shill. He is always trying to do whatever you can do to make the bosses happy, kiss their butts and make sure you can justify that big contract.
“Well, Drew McIntyre says exactly how he feels, marching to the beat of his own drum and doing what I know is right for not just myself or the company. And I’m being a good person while I do it, and the thing that he hates most probably about me is that I am more CM Punk and CM Punk now.”
McIntyre challenges World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at Clash in the Castle on June 15 in front of his home fans in Glasgow, Scotland.
