CM Punk and Starrcast recently published a video hyping Punk’s upcoming appearance at the convention. Punk is in a wrestling ring during the promo and even took a bump.
“I have no idea what I’m going to say,” Punk says in the video. “There’s no script. I’m not following a storyline, I’m coming to hang out with some fans and yes I’ll have a live microphone in my hand, so who knows what’s going to happen? And that’s the thing, every time i have a live microphone in my hand, I never exactly know what it’s going to say and that’s gotten me in trouble. I’m hoping to avoid any kind of trouble come Saturday but you never can tell.”

CM Punk at Starrcast
Punk recently spoke to SI.com about what led to his Starrcast booking.
“They asked if I wanted to do Starrcast. That’s basically it. There’s no mad scientist formula to it,” Punk said. “I hate traveling. I’ve turned down offers to do signings in other places. It turns into a mission to leave town just to do a signing and stuff. I like to take time with everybody and make sure everybody has a good experience.”
Conrad Thompson on CM Punk At Starrcast
Starrcast promoter Conrad Thompson also spoke about Punk’s appearance at Starrcast on Saturday during a recent media call to promote the event.
“There’s a lot people who really miss CM Punk and really identified with his character and persona and took his work personal and it was a special place in their heart and they’re super CM Punk fans and we’re glad they are and we’re glad they’re coming,” Thomspon said on the call. “But at the same time they don’t want to just have the memories, they want to see him go make new ones. And I understand that but ultimately that’s up to him.”
