Mark Henry and Bully Ray Disagree Over CM Punk’s WWE Raw Comments
– During this week’s Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famers Mark Henry and Bully Ray had a disagreement over the comments made by CM Punk during his promo last Monday on WWE Raw. While Bully Ray said he didn’t buy into Punk’s promo, Henry liked what Punk had to say. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Mark Henry on Punk’s money comment from WWE Raw: “When you’re telling them that, you’re also telling them to be about the business. It’s like, ‘We have a boss and you gotta do what it takes for business to run well.’ Punk is not going to be writing or producing the show, he’s a player in the game — ‘So, you do your job. Play your role. And everybody makes a lot of money.'”
Bully Ray on Punk’s comments: “When he said, ‘I’ve changed,’ I didn’t buy into it.”
Henry on how you change and grow over the years: “People don’t want you to change. People want your conviction to be what it is … I know I’ve changed. I’m not the same arrogant kid that came into the business at 23. I’m not the same guy that, in 2004, wanted to fight everybody over stuff and die on every hill. Punk realizes, after his conversation with Triple H — ‘If we’re not changing, if we’re not growing, we’re failing.’ And he has come to grips with the fact that sometimes it’s okay to change.”
CM Punk officially returned to WWE last Saturday at Survivor Series, returning to the company for the first time in almost 10 years.
