CM Punk Reveals Who Taught Him How To Cut A PromoÂ

CM Punk explains how he became such a pro on the mic.

Punk took part in GQâ€s “Replies To Fans Onlineâ€Â feature and responded to some fan feedback about him. During the video, Punk was asked who taught him how to cut promos. First, he said a lot of his skills were natural, but also credited some of pro wrestlingâ€s best talkers for inspiring him over the years.

“I think a lot of it I was born with. A lot of it I learned from watching the great wordsmiths of our business. Roddy Piper, Paul Heyman, Jim Cornette, people who had a way with words. And Iâ€ve always just had that chip on my shoulder and a mouth. So a lot of it, I was indeed born with.â€

CM Punk also pointed out how every promo is different, so he tries not to script things out too much. Rather, Punk says he tries to feel things out and react in the moment since things can change so quickly.

“When it comes to promos, each situation is drastically different from the next. I come — I try not to plan too much because I feel like it needs to be in the moment. I need to be less of an actor and more of a reactor, so a lot of moving parts constantly changing.â€

During the same feature, CM Punk was also asked about his potential retirement plans.
