CM Punk Defends Crying AEW Fans: ‘You’re Making Fun of Me Too’

In an interview with ESPN 100 (via Fightful), CM Punk came to the defense of a fan who went viral for crying during Punk’s return to pro wrestling on AEW Rampage. The fan caught a lot of criticism online, but there have been some sticking up for his passion. Tommy Dreamer even invited him to Impact Wrestling’s Bound for Glory PPV.

Punk said: “I’m a Chicago sports guy. I cried when the Cubs won the World Series, I cried when the Blackhawks won the (Stanley) Cup, the times I was alive when they won the Cup, not back in the 60s. It means a lot and it means a lot because I’m so attached to Chicago and sports, especially. I understand. Anyone making fun of that dude, you’re making fun of me too. There is nothing wrong with being emotional at sporting events or anything you like. I’ll cry at a Marvel movie.“
