>On a recent edition of his"Something To Wrestle" podcast,long-time WWE executive Bruce Prichard recalled that big win for Punk and admitted there was a 50-50 divide backstage from both WWE officials and talent on that call being made. "It was controversial because I don't think Punk had a lot of people in the locker room that were really pro-Punk," Prichard said.
>"I thought if he's that polarizing in the locker room, then what's the general audience feel about him? I really felt the general audience was intrigued. He was different and there was something about Punk, especially at that time, that there was a groundswell and people were getting behind him," Prichard added. "There were those that were like 'What the hell are you doing?' and those who were happy for him. It was a moment that no one was going to call, and I thought it was a good one."
