Just before the interview started, Landsberg played a production piece which was meant to make CM Punk laugh but instead, it infuriated him. The piece basically made fun of the fact that we didn’t know anything about the ex-WWE star’s future in the UFC, and at the end, it suggested that Punk’s first fight would be against Chef Boyardee. So, the interview didn’t get off to a great start.
On top of being frustrated with the production piece, Punk was annoyed at Landsberg’s questions about his WWE exit. At one point in the interview, Punk, who was visibly annoyed, tried to steer the host into talking about his new career, but the host responded to him by saying “you’re not a UFC fighter.” While Punk didn’t storm out of the interview, it was quite clear that he had no interest in continuing it.
While speaking with Chael Sonnen — on the You’re Welcome podcast, the Off the Record host talked about his controversial interview with Punk, and whether or not he got any heat from the UFC because of it.
“I reached out to [CM Punk] afterwards and said ‘hey, I’m sorry if you were offended. I was trying to have some fun, if you felt like I disrespected you, I’m sorry.’ Well, that didn’t do any good — he calls the UFC and he calls [Dave] Sholler, and gets in touch with TSN, and all hell breaks loose. My boss then calls me and asks what happened, so I tell him, look, I’m a guy who has no problem saying when I’m wrong. That’s the way I’m wired; ‘I’m wrong, I’m sorry.’ But I didn’t do anything wrong, and he was being a sucky, whiny b**ch.”
