Correlating CM Punk's Statements To An Internet Marketing Company

By Rob Sutter


If you are someone who considers themselves a fan of pro wrestling, regardless of the specific companies, you may have already become familiar with CM Punk's recent podcasts. With host Colt Cabana, who is a longtime friend of Punk, the former World Wrestling Entertainment star spoke quite negatively about the company in question. Those who have been longtime WWE fans will tell you how eye-opening these podcasts were. To me, it shows that WWE is in need of a reputable Internet marketing company.

It was with these podcasts that Punk spoke about WWE and his harsh treatment by the company during his last few years there. Some of the issues that Punk brought up were medical, including the staph infection that he wrestled with for quite some time. It's also been said that staph infections, when left untreated, can prove to be deadly. What this does, more than anything else, is showcase the lack of the care on the part of WWE and its general workforce.

Punk also spoke about how he was being stifled on the creative side of things. For example, before he returned to the company a couple of years ago, he suggested that he'd wear MMA-style shorts to let his character evolve. WWE did not allow him to do so, on account of advertisers, but former WWE talent Brock Lesnar was able to return with those very shorts. Evidence like these pieces are strong and they only further illustrate why WWE would need an Internet marketing company.

You may wonder what use WWE would have for an Internet marketing company, given its worldwide notoriety. From what I have seen, reputation management will prove to be quite useful, as WWE needs to fan the flames that Punk created with his involvement in these podcasts. This company is not infallible and it has to address the missteps it has made. For this reason, it wouldn't be totally surprising to see firms such as fishbat becoming involved in the near future.

No one can argue with the fact that Punk's part, in these podcasts, have shed quite a bit of light on the inner workings of WWE. Why should talent be mistreated in such ways that they are either hurt due to injuries or simply burned out because of a lack of creative freedom? Factors like these are ones that WWE would be wise to address, in the most professional of ways to boot. Even if this is done, I'm sure that no wrestling fan will forget Punk's words for a while.
