Drew McIntyre: CM Punk Is the Opposite of the Excellence of Execution, I Don’t Know Why Bret Hart Loves Him So Much

Drew McIntyre just doesn’t get it.

Since his return to the WWE, CM Punk has been involved in heavy feuds with the likes of Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. The bad blood with McIntyre and Punk ended in a Hell in a Cell match, but it still has not prevented McIntyre from opening his mouth from time to time about his bitter rival.

“The moves do matter, that’s a prerequisite. If you’re a wrestler and you don’t do the moves well, you shouldn’t be a wrestler. I shouldn’t have to say the moves are important because of course the moves are important. You should be able to execute them well. CM Punk, I don’t know how Bret loves him so much, he’s like the opposite of the Excellence of Execution. His moves are executed terribly, but he believes everything he says and people buy his crap. Good for him, I guess. To me, as a wrestler growing up and as a Bret Hart fan, you should be able to do the moves well. That should be a given. You shouldn’t have to talk about the moves because you should just do them. What’s important on top of that is emotional connection. How are you going to do that and connect with the fans? So many people worry about all the intricate sequences and whatever they’ve got in their head. All it takes is one split second of looking in someone’s eyes and see they are thinking too much or are not present in that moment,” McIntyre said on Huge Pop with Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas when discussing the importance of what comes between the moves.

McIntyre is currently involved in a feud with the current WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. The two are most likely set to battle each other at WWE’s Clash in Paris Premium Live Event.
