Mike Knox Recalls Working With CM Punk, Says His Opinion Of Him Quickly Changed After Their First Match

Mike Knox had a few run-ins when they were on the WWE version of ECW, and he recalled working with Punk while speaking with Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda’s UnSKripted. You can check out the video below along with some highlights courtesy of the site:

On working with Punk in ECW: “It was awesome working with Punk. I never really got to work with him before that. We’d both been bounced around for a long time, maybe eight-ten years before where we finally got up to finally meet each other. We never met. We never played around in the ring or nothing.”

On their first match: “I remember the first time that we wrestled. I missed like two or three planes, and it was just one of those nightmare days. I thought I was never going to get there. I was changing in the car as they were driving me to the arena because the music was on and he was already out in the ring, and I had to jump out of the car and run. Yeah, we ran to the ring and did everything out there. You know what I mean? The lost art (calling it in the ring). Everything single thing, including the finish. Before, when I was in Deep South, I was kind of like, I saw him on tape, and I was just like, I don’t get it. What’s the big deal, man. I don’t think he’s that good. I don’t understand why everybody’s talking about him. Then I went out there, and we did our first match, and I was a fan of his ever since. Ah, Oh, that’s what it is! Okay, duh, alright!”
