PUNK: “I don’t need youjerkoffs chanting my name. You know what I’m sick and tired of? Making stars in IWA! Remember Hulk Hogan? Hulk Hogan was nothing until I brought a REAL world title into this circle jerk and put Hulk Hogan on the map! Jon Moxley, he rode my coattails to a big contract and our feud made national headlines because I made him a star. And now you, Kenny. Our little trilogy is over, and I just proved you’re not the ‘best’ at anything. I just beat you. Nah, you’re not a wrestler. You’re a ‘performer’. And I hate ‘performers’. I’m a fucking fighter! I’m from Chicago, I’ve been a fighter all my life! I’m tired of making people, because they go on to get titles, and make money, and then don’t even have the courtesy to say ‘thank you’. And all you marks in the audience, you cheer for them. So you are just as guilty as they are. You make me sick. So Kenny, you keep your little GFW belt because that’s not what I’m after right now. Welcome to the new CM Punk, you might regret asking for this ….”
