WWE Champion C.M. Punk comments on his knee surgery, favorite film, pro wrestling fans who complain constantly

WWE Champion C.M. Punk appeared on the Nerdist.com podcast with host Chris Hardwick and spoke about his knee surgery. Punk said he doesn't want to have another surgery as long as he lives. He said he removed the stitches and is aggressively rehabbing to get back in the ring.

The interview was conducted in Punk's home. He said he's proud that when people walk in they don't know what he does for a living. He said he finds it odd that some wrestlers take the opposite approach. He also mocked the idea wrestling fans complaining constantly, yet watching the shows every week.

Powell's POV: In signs of incredibly good taste, Punk stated that his favorite movie of all time is "Slap Shot" and he would take a trip back in time to see bands such as Guns-n-Roses on the Sunset Strip. Host Christ Hardwick apologized upfront for not being a big fan of wrestling. "I talk to Punk as a guy," Hardwick said. He also labeled Punk a "super nerdy guy." He meant that in the best way possible and added that Punk is a "really good guy." In addition to hosting the podcast, Hardwick is a comedian and the host of AMC's "Talking Dead" television show.
