“Cult of Personality” by Living Colour has been associated with CM Punk for nearly two decades during his time in multiple pro wrestling organizations, including his current employer with AEW. Now a WWE Hall of Famer is going on the record saying he doesn’t understand CM Punk’s presentation.
While speaking on his “Oh… You Didn’t Know?” podcast, Brian James aka Road Dogg explained that AEW made a mistake in paying for the music. He went on to say that Punk didn’t need it to stand out during his return in 2021.
“Buying Cult of Personality for CM Punk makes zero sense to me,”
“Yes that was his theme song for a minute, but why? [Whatever song they would’ve picked for his return] would’ve been fine, it would’ve been CM Punk’s new song and they could’ve found one in a music library that was close enough to where we can either copy this, rip it off a little bit, change it a little bit and own it, or we can just use that one, pay the library costs.”
“I don’t know, I don’t think the Cult of Personality defines him in my mind or not. I don’t know if I’m just bringing that up because I’m negative about him all the time.”
James is wrong because a lot of wrestlers are associated with the theme song that defies their character. Like Punk or not, “Cult of Personality” will always be a theme that people hear and make them think of CM Punk.
Do you think James is right or wrong regarding Punk’s theme music? Sound off in the comments!
