CM Punk On Why He Prefers Being A Heel, Ziggler At Comedy Show Tonight, Punk Impressed By Lesnar

- Mike Dunsmore of NBC Sports Radio recently interviewed CM Punk as part of SummerSlam week. In the video above, Punk discussed being a hockey fan and what impresses him about Brock Lesnar.

"His athleticism, his credentials, the fact that he gets and flush and red in the face and I don't know why what happens," Punk replied when asked what impressed him about Lesnar. "He's a physical specimen, he's 300 pounds and he moves like he's my size. He's a freak."

- Punk was also interviewed by IGN about Sunday's pay-per-view. During the interview, Punk revealed why he prefers being a heel.

"It just comes more natural to me," Punk said. "I don't gotta smile, I don't gotta kiss babies. It's easier to tell people at airports at four in the morning that I'm not signing their stuff. But the challenge of getting people to like you and not be cheesy and campy and kinda hokey, that I'm really trying to tackle this time around. It is definitely a challenge. But I think there are few people that have started to transcend those lines, like John Cena. People cheer or boo him. Me, people cheer or boo me. Whatever you want, come to the WWE shows and you kinda get to do that."

Punk also revealed his favorite summer movies and if his pipe bomb helped Daniel Bryan get to where he's at. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
