CM Punk voiced his frustration over fans and writers misusing wrestling terms like “heat” and “cheap heat”.
Speaking to Peter Rosenberg, Punk criticized people for throwing around these terms without understanding their true meaning. He said:
“I don’t, I don’t understand. No one knows anything; they’re always just babbling… But is it cheap? Is it really cheap heat, you know what I mean? Like, people say it’s kind of the most authentic heat. People say that to me all the time, but they don’t know.
You know, and this is my biggest problem with the so-called fans and stuff like that: they have these words in their lexicon that they read on the internet from someone like Meltzer or something like that, and they use them out of context. They have no idea what it means, you know what I mean?”
Punk emphasized that this misunderstanding isn’t limited to fans but extends to WWE insiders as well. He shared an instance where he had to correct a WWE writer who misused the term “heat”.
“And I actually, I said this to one of our writers one time. They said something like, ‘Oh, and then you’re going to do this, and then you’re going to get heat.’ And I said, ‘Stop. No, no, that’s not how it works. You don’t even know what that word means. You have no idea what that word means.’”
Punk was particularly annoyed by people calling his Paul Bearer storyline “cheap heat”, stating that those who complain don’t understand the wrestling industry. He said:
“And these people run around and they’re like, ‘Oh, he doesn’t need to do this, and Paul Bearer, you know, it’s disrespectful, and it’s just cheap heat.’ And it’s, it’s, it’s not. You don’t know what heat is. You don’t know what cheap heat is. Shut the f**k up and watch the show.”
Punk revealed that he was initially hesitant about incorporating Bearer’s passing into his WrestleMania 29 storyline with The Undertaker, but eventually agreed. He remains adamant about his stance against fans who pretend to be insiders without a proper understanding of the business.
