C.S. Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Wasn't sure if I should just put this in the "Comments That Don't Warrant a Thread" thread, but I ultimately decided that this was newsworthy enough to warrant its own thread (if it's true, that is). Footage: Quote from 2016: “But you never know, I could pop up here and there. Let me explain that to you even better. It’s not going to even be televised, it’s going to be me in a ninja f–king outfit wrestling one of my buddies and nobody’s ever going to know. It’s going to be very ‘Monty Python’ so to speak.” Confirmation? https://wrestlingnews.co/other/it-looks-like-cm-punk-returned-to-wrestling-under-a-mask-last-night/ There's supposedly an Instagram picture of Punk in the same outfit, sans the mask, but someone else will have to sleuth that out.

sek69 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I would assume if Punk ever did anything else wrestling related, this would be how he does it. All the pieces seem to fit, especially since Ace Steel was involved. The down side is now we probably have to deal with all the newz sites posting "PUNK TO AEW???" clickbait stories.

SirEdger Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well I remember that Punk did say in an interview post-WWE departure that if he'd ever return to wrestling, he'd do something like this where no one would ever realize it'd be him so I wouldn't even be remotely surprised if it turns out he did do that at that event. But I'll remain in the skeptical camp and the "Punk hates wrestling too much now to ever return to it ever again" camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachchaos Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Punk's offense always looked like shit. I don't doubt for one second that's him, given his history in the area. Those who expect someone as integrated with wrestling as Punk to stay away forever forget what a huge mark he was before he even trained. I'd be shocked if he's not at Double or Nothing or more likely the first TV with AEW. There's money floating around, zero schedule at the moment, and they'll respect his status as a true superstar. For those wondering, he owns the CM Punk trademark and would most likely have secured the rights to the theme song by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Have seen a few tweets that this isn't the first time Punk has done this either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was uncoordinated and clumsy even by Punk's standards. I hope that Bix tweet ain't true because if he's been working some matches and looked like that, it seems the ring rust is worse than expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I feel like there's going to be a lot of masked skinny dudes doing run-ins at Indy shows now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I've only seen three wrestlers do the GTS but KENTA is literally the only one who does it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a little part of me that says if I were a professional troll, I'd show up backstage at an indy show but have some schlep do the actual run in.
