2020 was an incredibly unique year in the world or pro-wrestling. Despite the many challenges wrestling promotions faced last year, there still were many notable and historic events that took place in the industry.
Former WWE Superstar CM Punk recently answered some fan questions on social media. During the #AskPunk Q&A session, Punk was asked about his favorite WWE Superstar in 2020. The Chicago native named Bill Goldberg.
Goldberg only wrestled twice in 2020. He performed on two of the biggest events of the year, however. Neither match went longer than 3-minutes. Goldberg defeated The Fiend at Super Show-Down to win the WWE Universal Championship in 2 minutes and 59 seconds. He then lost to Braun Strowman on night 1 of WrestleMania 36 in just 2 minutes and 13 seconds.
CM Punk did not just name his favorite wrestler to watch in the ring. He complimented Goldberg’s intelligence, which is likely a reference to Goldberg’s ability to command big money for very little time in the ring. Whatever WWE is paying him, and you know it’s a lot, Goldberg clocked only 5 minutes and 12 seconds of ring time during two matches in 2020.
Punk was also asked about doing a video game deal with 2K as part of the WWE series. He said he’s open to the idea but sounds pessimistic that something like that would happen.
Punk was also asked about the best piece of advice he’s heard.
