Has CM Punk become the very thing he once criticized? After capturing the WWE Championship, we're asking the big question: is CM Punk a hypocrite after everything he said about The Rock and part-time stars?
In Episode 3 of the Transatlantic Pop Wrestling Podcast, Britain's Elder Sam and America's JGold break down the biggest stories from the world of professional wrestling. We discuss CM Punk's WWE Championship victory and whether his current position contradicts his past comments, react to Sami Zayn's shocking 9-day WWE Championship reign, and examine the reported release of Sheamus while debating whether the concept of a true "WWE lifer" still exists in modern wrestling.
We also take a deep dive into AEW and discuss what the company needs to do to build more excitement and mainstream exposure ahead of All In. Plus, we cover all the major WWE news from the past month, including the winners of the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments, the biggest storylines, and the moments that have shaped WWE programming.
To wrap things up, JGold brings another edition of his Forgotten Star segment, shining a spotlight on a wrestling name that deserves more recognition.
If you're a fan of WWE, AEW, CM Punk, Sami Zayn, wrestling news, wrestling opinions, and in-depth wrestling discussion, this is the podcast for you. Be sure to like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments!
