Road Dogg Defends WWE Over CM Punk’s Shoot Interview
– Okay, so obviously the big news today is CM Punk’s shoot interview on Colt Cabana’s podcast. If you somehow missed it, Punk explained why he isn’t in WWE anymore and said he was fired on his wedding day, that he worked through some very serious health issues and that he had major creative problems with the company, among other things.
The story is all over the place by now (even hitting TMZ) and it’s been a hot topic of conversation on Twitter. One such discussion drew Brian “Road Dogg” James into it, with the DX member and current WWE employee defending the company. You can see the tweets below in their entirety; Road Dogg responds to a fan who went off on HHH and Vince McMahon by saying “You only hear one side of the story!” It continued on from there, with Road Dogg engaging multiple fans and explaining that he “dogged WWE” when he was released and he thinks Punk is doing the same.
To Road Dogg’s credit, he doesn’t insult any of the fans and even stays respectful to Punk (as respectful as you can be when suggesting someone is making up stories). You can read the whole thing below:
@CMPunkXIII you only hear one side of the story!

@CMPunkXIII I understand that but are you sure you have all of the facts? There are always 2 sides to every story.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@CMPunkXIII just to be clear, I don't know the truth either! I just know how these stories get told around our industry.

@TheBarrageEra it's crazy but do you always get treated perfectly at work? It's a team and we need team players, everyone can't win!

@TheBarrageEra how was he "mistreated"?
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra I get it, but you just asked me if anyone else was being "mistreated" so I was interested as to what he meant by that.

@DeanyAmbroseWWE a business relationship is between 2 or more people, you've now heard 1 side of the story. You'll never hear the other
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@DeanyAmbroseWWE that's his story. I can tell you some too if you'd like!

@wholeeoh0_0 @WWE can't even believe you just asked that! We have a trainer and a dr. Talent goes to doc of their choice! Dang.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra did you just read what you typed? He didn't get to be in the main event so he got hot!!! C'mon man! I like Punk but dang.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@wholeeoh0_0 @WWE don't be sorry, just try to be realistic. We are an entertainment company. Good guys and bad guys, it's all perspective!
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra so if VKM or HHH did a podcast would you believe every word of those too?
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra as far as release papers on his wedding day, wasn't his wedding a secret? How did they know it was his wedding day?
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra when I quit and then got release papers, I dogged the company too. It's what you do when you aren't honest with yourself.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra well you never will. The way everyone is reacting, I don't believe it's in the WWE's best interest to give one.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra if he has no hard feelings why all the negative talk. He was "The Man" and that guy runs hard all year long. I'm done!
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@TheBarrageEra I'm not sure that's true. Like I said, I'm done. It's he said she said stuff and it's history. #HappyThanksgiving

@FedMark1186 @CMPunk I did exactly what Punk did. I parted ways from the company and I bashed them . Call me what you will mate.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@FedMark1186 and if you call being friends with someone being "up their a**" then I guess you're right. Not bashin Punk ,just counter points
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@FedMark1186 I understand your complaint and you're definitely entitled to it. I don't want to bash Punk but there is another side.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
@ArmyShitbag don't believe that for a minute dude, that's what Pro wrestling is. You find a talent that fans love and exploit that.
— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) November 27, 2014
Didn't mean to argue and I'm sorry to those I offended. I'll just keep quiet on this subject. I'm passionate about the business. I'm sorry.
