CM Punk and Eric Bischoff have been having some beef for a while. The former WWE RAW general manager is not one to mince his words and they sure have irked “The Best In The World.” During the latest Hall Of Fame podcast episode, Booker T reflected on CM Punk’s recent comments to Eric Bischoff. Punk told people to stop listening to “bad take carny dipsh*ts” who have a podcast for their own ego. Booker claimed that Punk shouldn’t have made such a blanket statement.

He said, “For CM Punk to come back on him the way he did, and not just come back on him, that was a blanket statement. That wasn’t just at Eric Bischoff, that was a blanket statement. Me personally, I’m about calling people out to their face. If somebody got something to say to me, say it to my face, or, say it directly to me, direct that quote to me. Then we will talk about it when we see each other.

“Or, I am always down for a celebrity fight or anything like that, I am serious. If somebody got something to say, say it. Don’t try to say it underlined, almost like people on Twitter where you can’t see their face, and they’re just talking, say it, and say it directly to those people that you’re talking about.”

Punk is old claims Booker T

The five-time WCW Champion also pointed out that Punk could be the person with the podcast, as he’s already an older talent. The Hall Of Famer also stated that if he is someone Punk is speaking about, he should let him know. He stated, “You know, I feel like it was a blanket statement, it went out there everybody over a certain age. And let’s just say this, CM Punk is 43 years old. I don’t think he can be talking about, ‘well, when I get old,’ he’s already there. 

I think I was just getting my first girlfriend, or maybe just getting my first kiss when CM Punk was born. So he’s not that far behind me. As well as, in a few years, he might have a podcast, and he may be one of those guys. So, like I say, don’t make a blanket statement, and don’t reference who you’re talking about. If I am one of those people, just let me know.”
