WWE Champion CM Punk was at the Philadelphia Comic Con event over the weekend and participated in a Q&A session. Among the topics discussed, Punk talked about his brutal travel schedule:
“I was home Thursday. And, before that, two weeks ago, I was home for 22 hours. It’s not healthy – I need to go home and hibernate, I know I really do. A lot of people go, ‘You look really tired today.’ Thanks. Downtime doesn’t exist.”
Punk also addressed the amount of wrestlers currently suspended (Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Evan Bourne) and WWE’s thin talent roster:
There’s two guys and the talent pool has never been thinner. How many guys are suspended right now? (laughs) Yeah, they’re wearing us out, but we can handle it – it’s me and Cena. We need more guys, but I like to be outside [making appearances]”
