What CM Punk said about the Pipe Bomb
Speaking with Heelturn – Der SPORT1 Wrestling Podcast Punk had this to say about his Pipe Bomb:
“I mean, all of it. I had to make an outline for Vince, and I didn’t say anything I wrote in the outline. I just know I needed him to agree, and then I went out there, and I said whatever I wanted. Because I knew what I wanted to say. I knew I wasn’t stepping over the line. I knew nobody was gonna be pissed at me.
And the thing with live television is, it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission. If I would have asked him to say all that stuff, he would be like, ‘Don’t mention Brock [Lesnar]. Don’t mention Paul Heyman.’ Those guys were, at the time, persona non grata. He would have been like, ‘What the hell is Ring of Honor? Don’t mention New Japan.’ But I knew to make it the special piece of art that I wanted it to be. I had to go out there and say all that.
So, I wrote up a mock draft of it, and he said, ‘Yeah, this is great.’ He asked me to add something making fun of Stephanie. And I was like, ‘Okay.’ And I went out there, and I did it. And it was good, so he wasn’t mad at me.”
Great to see the Pipe Bomb had even more depth to it!
The Pipe Bomb has been an iconic moment of wrestling, but it seems like the more information that comes out about it, the more interesting it becomes. The information that wasn’t scripted backstage is a great little bit of information, and the fake draft of the script is also great to hear.
