CM Punk spricht über sein WrestleMania XXIX Match gegen The Undertaker sowie die Streak / Dolph Ziggler: „Die ganzen Teilzeit-Wrestler auf der WrestleMania XXIX Card kotzen mich an!“

– WWE Superstar CM Punk stand kürzlich IGN für ein Interview Rede und Antwort und sprach darin über sein WrestleMania XXIX Match gegen The Undertaker sowie die Streak des Deadman:

„I mean, does anybody really think they have to break the streak? It’s one of those things. The streak is this monumental thing and I think everybody has these feelings of not wanting to see it broken, so therefore it should never be broken. But once that bell rings I don’t have a boss and nobody can tell me what to do. The guy who beats the streak is gonna go down as a legend. If I broke the streak, I’d be a legend. So it’s up to me to do everything I can to break it.“

Auf die Frage, ob er sich wegen dem besagten Match selbst unter Druck setzt, antwortete er wie folgt:

„I expect the best from myself, no more no less. I don’t know what anybody else expects from this match given [Undertaker’s] year away from the ring and possibly his physical condition. Or the fact that I don’t have a Hell in a Cell or all these different kinds of stipulations, like No Disqualification, to work with. But I like it when they handcuff me. I always seem to find a way to make it the best that it can be, given the circumstances. I don’t think I can look at it like ‚Oh, this has to be better than other matches Undertaker’s done.‘ To me this match is going to be what it has to be. It’s part of a story, you know. So I don’t look at those other matches. It’s really a different beast. I’m making him angry. It’s not just ‚I’m going to break your streak.‘ I’m trying to piss the guy off and I want him to try and kill me. So it’s a completely different animal than the last couple matches he’s had at ‚Mania.“

Außerdem äußerte sich CM Punk zu der Frage, ob The Undertaker sein WrestleMania Traumgegner sei:

„You know, probably not. To be honest. I mean, I probably would have said, hell, at this point, John Cena. You know what I mean? Or, of course, Stone Cold Steve Austin. He’s always been my answer to that question over the last two years.“

– Dolph Ziggler hat in der vergangenen Woche in einem Interview mit „XFINITY“ Kritik an den vielen Teilzeit-Wrestlern auf der WrestleMania XXIX Matchcard geübt und verkündet, dass es ihn ankotzt, dass sie den Workern, die sich das ganze Jahr den Hintern aufreissen, den Spot auf der WrestleMania Card stehlen, auch wenn die WrestleMania-Auftritte dieser Top Guys gut für das Business wären. Weiter erzählte Dolph Ziggler, dass er alles dafür tun will, um den „Top Guys“ bei WrestleMania XXIX die Show zu stehlen, damit sich alle Wrestlingfans nach dem Pay-Per-View am meisten an ihn erinnern werden und die nächste RAW Episode einschalten wollen, um zu sehen, wie es mit Dolph Ziggler in der WWE weitergeht:

XFINITY: „You mentioned the people on the lighter schedules. We’re approaching a Wrestlemania where four of the six main eventers don’t wrestle that often. Does that annoy you, does it inspire you?“

Dolph Ziggler: „It’s both. It really pisses me off. But, it also is good business. Every year a part timer comes back, but there’s a reason that they’re back. Whether it’s the fans want to see them, if they’re a draw, if they’re a movie star, there’s a reason that they’re back. They’re not back just to do it. There’s business to be had. And it pisses me off and it motivates me a hundred percent. It makes me want to be that guy that they’re begging to come back. I appreciate it, it’s just good business. When people come to Wrestlemania to see the Rock and the Undertaker and they leave that Wrestlemania thinking, “Wow, that Dolph Ziggler stole the show. I can’t wait to tune in to ‘Raw’ to see what he does next.” That’s how I’ve lived my entire career.“
