ESPN Personality responds to Punks comments

[Crayo]

- Colin Cowherd slammed professional wrestling and CM Punk Thursday on ESPN Radio over Twitter remarks the WWE Champion made concerning Nike’s endorsement deal with mixed martial artist Jon “Bones” Jones.

The outspoken radio personality labeled wrestlers as “roided freaks” and said they have no right to talk about morals due to the industry’s staggering number of premature deaths. Cowherd also alluded to Owen Hart falling to his death at a WWE event in 1999, stating, “A wrestler died in the ring and they just rolled him out and kept going.” Cowherd then ran down Punk and his penchant for tattoos. The diatribe lasted approximately ten minutes.

Punk stated last night immediately following the endorsement announcement, “Let’s reward more drunk drivers with endorsement deals! #responsibility.” He was referring to Jon’s DUI conviction, stemming from a May 19 incident in which Jones drunkenly crashed his Bentley into a utility pole.

So Colin couldn't make a real comeback to Punk so he attacked WWE instead. Way to go.

 

[Rysenberg]

What a stupid retort, I'm sorry but Punk is there for the taking and he comes back with that shit.

I weep for humanity (

He's such an ass. Most ESPN personality's are.

What's new. Taking a shot on wrestling as a whole. Do some research on the guy who made the comment.

This Colin needs to keep his mouth shut. He sounds like an idiot.

Calling a skinny fatass like Punk a roided freak. I don't know who that guy is, but generalising doesn't work well most of the time.

Obviously Colin Cowherd has no idea what he's talking about... what a surprise. The guy's known for either wanting to create headlines or read headlines and create a "strong opinion" based on that. Any wrestling fan hearing that this skinny midget is a "roid-head" would laugh and change the channel, but what about the non-wrestling fans? How much has the checkered past of the WWE come to tarnish their current image?

Good luck, Linda.

It's pretty sad when a pro wrestler (basically, just a guy) does more research on the subject of his comment than the guy who's supposedly a professional journalist.

Of course, it's Colin Cowherd we're talking about. He's got one of the worst reputations in sports journalism for not doing his job properly. Basically, he's a douche and a loudmouth moron.

He's a real life 2010-2011 Michael Cole?
