Summary
CM Punk pulls up to The Late Run with the belt — and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion turns out to be a bigger football head than anyone expected. Ocho and Raheemovic get Punk talking Celtic loyalty (he's half Irish, and rival Drew McIntyre reps Rangers), why Celtic vs Rangers is "200 years of religious hatred," and why most Americans only wake up to soccer for the World Cup. Then it gets wild: Punk tells the story of the night in Brazil when an opponent disrespected the Brazilian national flag mid-match — and the ring got surrounded by armed men aiming straight at him. Plus, the crew debates: who's the better actor, a diving footballer or a wrestler selling in the ring? Who trash talks better, WWE or soccer players? And the big one — Punk names his soccer GOAT (hint: a flying knee KO is involved) and goes Messi over Ronaldo. Ocho shares his dream WrestleMania entrance (Free Bird, oiled-up, cigar in hand), and Punk names which footballer’s would make the best WWE Superstars. Learn more about your ad choices.
