When it comes to CM Punk, Road Dogg doesn't get it.
Speaking on Oh...You Didn't Know, AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy came up in the conversation as part of a game called "are you a better sports entertainer than?" After joking that he didn't know who Cassidy was, Road Dogg stated that he doesn't understand the hype about him.
“I know who he is. I honestly don’t get it. I don’t get it. If the guy can work great, and I’ve seen him work, and he’s pretty great…I don’t know what I don’t understand. If the answer is, ‘Because you’re old, and so you don’t understand,’ I get that. But I also think that’s a cop-out answer because you don’t understand either. You just like it, and I just don’t. Let’s not get down to brass tacks because we’ll both be right and we’ll both be wrong. If you do like him, then all that stupid crap he does makes perfect sense to you, and you love it. If you don’t, you can’t get past it. I know I’m in the minority here, and I got no problem doing that, but I’m allowed to have my own sense about things and opinions," Road Dogg said.
Road Dogg then brought up CM Punk and noted that the same mentality applied to CM Punk. He stated that everyone loved CM Punk, but he never got it. Road Dogg gave Punk credit for being a good promo in today's wrestling world, but he never got the rest of it.
"Everybody loved CM Punk too. I never got it. Never understood it. Cuts a decent promo. Good, in today’s world. Never got the rest of it. Let’s lay it on. If we’re getting heat, let’s get it," Road Dogg said.
Road Dogg currently works for WWE as the Senior Vice President of Live Events.
