Starting point is 00:01:30 We are joined by a recurring guest and one of our favorite recurring guests. It's Robbie Fox, it's Jared Karabas, the From the Top Rope Crew, and it is CM Punk. He is starring in Jacob's Wife. We've got a new horror movie from CM Punk out in theaters, digital, on-demand, April 16th. I feel like once a year we get to catch up when CM Punk stars in a horror movie. Talk to us about Jacob's Wife and talk to us about how you've been, man. It's been about a year since we've talked. Yeah, thanks for having me. I love talking to you guys. Jacob's Wife is a horror movie that is, it's a vampire movie, but it's not a vampire movie. It stars horror legend Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Bonnie Aarons. You guys have seen The Nun. She's in it. I'm in it. I'm the least important thing about this movie. If you like horror movies,
Starting point is 00:02:21 this is kind of like a love letter to 80s campy horror movies. It's got a lot of gore, but it's also got a great story. We kind of Trojan horse you with the vampires and the gore and the fangs and the blood. And we tell a story about a woman who is maybe trapped in a marriage, and she's kind of rediscovering herself as she struggles with these newfound powers that she has from getting bit by a vampire. I love this movie, you know, and it's not just because I'm in it. I'm just such a horror movie fan, and I watched the movie for the first time, I want to say a couple months ago and I just I mean I just loved it if if you're it's a very underground horror movie and if you
Starting point is 00:03:10 know Larry Fessin and or Barbara Crampton like you will fall in love with this movie because they both absolutely run away with it they kill it so I watched it last night at like midnight so it was like the perfect time to like sink into a vampire movie. First takeaway, Barbara 62. Are you kidding me? She looks amazing.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I was like, are you kidding me right now? So I feel, I know. I felt like such a creep because like, I get it a lot where I'll see people on the street or I have a lot of interactions now where people come up to me and they go oh my gosh I loved you when I was growing up and it it stings a little bit because I go oh man well how old are you you know and they're like oh I'm 25 and I'm like okay man
Starting point is 00:04:00 yeah you you you did you you watched me when you were a kid oh i hated you because you you you beat jeff hardy you know they say stuff about me all the time when i met barbara for the first time it was reverse roles because i didn't want to say any that to her yeah i said i said all of that you know i was just like i'm sorry i know what this sounds like you're not old oh my god i love you i mean i grew up renting horror movies from a local video store based on the cover art right and chopping mall was the first movie i ever saw barbara in so and to be in a movie with her now is i'm over the moon about it it's so weird and but it's it's also weird to be in a movie with a woman who have like you've you've seen and oogled her boobs and you're talking to her and
Starting point is 00:04:50 you're just like what's up barbara crampton you know and and and ah like it feels just so creepy and weird to say it but her boo her boobs still look so great so great like i the whole time i was having this internal struggle i was like am i rooting to see them in this movie or not and they're like i totally was totally sorry barbara like i'm sorry barbara i'm sorry but hey you may not have to apologize it's very nice things that we're saying about barbara on this podcast yeah she looked amazing played a great role. It was a great character. Speaking of characters though, how much did you have to channel deputy Dewey from scream for your character
Starting point is 00:05:34 in this, in this film? Zero percent. And that's not, that's not a, that's not a slight love. David Arquette, love deputy Dewey. And I think, I think actually because deputy Dewey exists, you have a preconceived notion about what my deputy character is going to be. And obviously I don't fully go there. But this movie does a great job with horror movie tropes and making you think something's going to happen and doing the opposite.
Starting point is 00:06:04 So it's terrific. You talked about like actually meeting Barbara and having that almost fanboy moment. I've listened to Howard Stern say that the best part of his job is getting to meet his heroes and getting to meet people that he grew up watching. Who have those people been for you? I'm sure in wrestling, you met a ton of people, but like even outside of that, I'm sure you've done comic cons where you've met people from horror movies that you grew up watching like Barbara and, you know, kind of got to fanboy out. You know, I'd be hard pressed to think of somebody that I would really like, oh man, I really want to meet that person until it happens, right? Like I got a lot of great stories from actually doing comic-Cons and signings and stuff like that of meeting people. I've always had a rule that whatever – if Val Kilmer's in a movie, I will watch it.
Starting point is 00:06:53 It doesn't matter. And Val's done some movies over the years. The Snowman? Did you have to watch The Snowman then? I watch everything Val Kilmer does, right? And being in the public eye, i've never wanted to bother people never never do that um i was doing a wizard world one time and i was walking to the signing area and i was wwe champ at the time so i had this big 40 pound ugly belt with me and the organizers loved
Starting point is 00:07:22 when they got pictures of celebrities with other celebrities and then they posted on the website there's a good way to sell the convention like look at this you you know here's here's um Elvira hanging out with William Shatner like come hang out like this is awesome and so they wanted to get he was like oh um you know Val Kilmer is coming in right after you and he's like I haven't come a little bit early so you can beat him and i was like no no no no i don't want i don't want to be val kilmer like i don't want to do it because you always hear stories don't meet your heroes this is that this guy is here at the convention to do the same thing i'm doing he's he's signing autographs for hours he's taking pictures for hours the last thing i want to make anybody do is take another
Starting point is 00:08:03 picture with you know no no we're gonna get a picture I was like begging I was like please no please no please no so I I have a picture of me where Val Kilmer is like looking off like to hopefully find somebody cooler in the room to talk to he's wearing a fedora like he's like the most aloof person and I'm just like standing there smiling like this is awesome yeah yeah I mean it is what it is you know he wasn't he wasn't a jerk he wasn't like an over like an overt like dickhead or anything like that but it was just like I could tell like he doesn't want to take a picture with me he doesn't care that I'm the WWE champion he doesn't want anything to do with this situation. And I was just laughing because I was like, yeah, I've been there. I get it. I know
Starting point is 00:08:47 I had a great interaction with William Shatner one time. We were in Chicago I think for the first Wizard World I did and he literally bust into the green room and he was like exactly, he was straight up Captain Kirk. He was like, my God,
Starting point is 00:09:04 whose line is that around the corner? Did you see the line? He comes right up to me. He was like, my God, whose line is that around the corner? Did you see the line? He comes right up to me. He's like, whose line is that? My God, it's the longest line I've ever seen at one of these. And I was like, it's for me. And he's like, oh, good job, young man. Good job.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Fucking great. So now you've got Jacob's wife. It's a vampire movie. And you've done girl on the third floor i'm curious about like because i know for me i love horror movies that are totally based in reality that could actually happen to you what's your favorite like because horror is its own genre but what's your favorite like sub-genre of horror gosh i, I don't know. I have love for a lot of different sub-genres of horror.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Slasher films, obviously, because it can be mindless. They don't necessarily have to tell the greatest story. We're not going to delve into any social issues in a slasher movie. It's just you put a guy in the woods with a hockey mask on and he's killing teenagers you know um i can get behind that um
Starting point is 00:10:11 i mean sci-fi horror is another great one where you know people argue oh it's not a horror movie it's a sci-fi movie because it's an outer space and it's just i don't care on twitter recently yeah yeah but if it's good it's good i don't care that's why jason x is the best oh man what a great movie where he's where where they where they run the simulation where he's back on he's back on earth and cam crystal lake and he's killing the the counselor in the sleeping bag which is like probably the greatest friday the 13th kill of all time yes um yeah i i love i love horror movies regardless of what people want you know want to classify as a horror movie so i mean silence of the lambs silence of the lambs is a horror movie the paranormal stuff is like the one sub-genre that i i can watch but i'm not fully into it like i am like the slasher stuff
Starting point is 00:11:08 or the monster movies um i just especially the japanese horror i've just never fully immersed myself in that it's not it's not necessarily my cup of tea you want blood and guts you gotta see the blood yeah i'm a fan i'm a fan of the blood and guts yeah absolutely um there's no doubt i mean when you're a little kid you know and like i said i i'd be writing movies based on the box art you know like so like the the crazier the box art was i'd be like oh god look at this movie this looks insane you know of course i'm gonna rent that we had a discussion yesterday about uh owning one piece of wrestling memorabilia. If you could own one piece of wrestling memorabilia, what would it be?
Starting point is 00:11:50 And I'm going to flip it for you and say, if you could own one piece of horror movie memorabilia, what would it be? I've actually tried to hunt for this. I don't know what's legit and what's not. I'm not huge into eBay and all that other stuff, but the door off of the, uh, the cab of the, the 18 wheeler, uh, black Maria and Texas chainsaw massacre is something is something that I would, would love to own. And I have for it. I have, you know, but then you,
Starting point is 00:12:24 you run into things where like people say they have it and you see pictures of it and you're like is that it like I don't know yeah I don't think you're gonna get a certificate of authenticity for the door off the Black Maria which is the name of the truck um in Texas Chainsaw Massacre but you know if anybody wants to gift that to me hit me up I was gonna say maybe this could be the start of like a second journey for this door like if you know it's you know someone with this door put punk I don't know if let's get him you guys can see I talk about you talk about wrestling memorabilia I don't know if you guys can see it but like right there that's the urn right there. Is that from the feud?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah, that's the urn. Was there more than one? Oh, yeah. They got boxes of them. But I had one on my bus because I would take it to house shows and stuff with me. And then two years after I cleaned out my bus, I cleaned out the box that was in my bus and I found that they're probably gonna they're probably gonna sue me now or something they're gonna send you an invoice for that it's not and I'm kidding that's actually that your relatives are yeah yeah I bought that at a funeral home down the street um we actually just passed Wrestlemania
Starting point is 00:13:42 I wanted to ask you do you have a favorite Wrestlemania when you look back at your time in the WWE do you have one that stands out as like either you had the best time at that one or you had your favorite match at that one so you look back at it with the fondest memories um I think um I think the last one I did was a 29 against Undertaker. Just given all the circumstances leading up to that and everything that happened after it, to me that's like the most defining punk rock moment of my entire career where I didn't care about anything.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I was a man fucking possessed and I somehow simultaneously didn't care about anything. I was a man fucking possessed, and I somehow simultaneously didn't give a fuck and cared way too much at the same time. And I went out there, and I fucking absolutely destroyed it. They couldn't follow me, no matter what they said. And, you know, people still to this day will be like, oh, you never made an event in WrestleMania. And I say, yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:14:45 You did. Because it's that one. Because it's that one. We were both there. You very much did. You should have just packed it up and fucking went home after that, you know. Have you still not watched it back? No.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Ever? No. Not even accidentally? When you were wrestling, would you ever watch your stuff back then? Not at that juncture in my career. There for sure was a block of time where I would watch stuff when I was, you know, training and wanting to get better on the indies. And, you know, you'd like watch stuff and nitpick it, see what you could do better, see what you did wrong, what you did bad, try to improve on things. At that stage in my career, no no man nobody nobody could tell me nothing i was just like
Starting point is 00:15:30 yeah you know because that was the thing too it was like you know my they were playing my music i remember and they're screaming at me to get into gorilla because i was down the ramp talking to i was talking to aj and she was like looking at me she's like you gotta go and i was down the ramp talking to i was talking to aj and she was like looking at me she's like you gotta go and i was like yeah right you know and like obviously i'm straight edge and i don't smoke but there was a very metaphorical like yeah right well don't go anywhere i'll be right back you know i was just more interested i was more interested in talking to pretty lady than i was, you know? But yeah, I mean, I have fond memories of that.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I don't want to ruin any of that by watching it. Yeah. I mean like that was, that was an all time classic. But I have a, I have a two part question for you. All right.

Catch the prelims starting at 8.30 Eastern on Bleacher Report. And remember, the best fights are on Wednesday nights. Let's get back into it. You, last time that you were at Barstool HQ, you saw Roan again, who you were in a bachelor party with. Yes. So I asked Roan to get you to write lyrics from the kill switch entrance theme and roan would be someone who would write it himself tell me that you wrote it wait for me to get it tattooed and then tell me that he wrote it can you confirm that this is your handwriting yes and i i i signed i not signed but i wrote that we were at a white socks game and I want to,
Starting point is 00:19:09 I want to say, man, this is weird. I want to say that they really beat up on the red socks that day. We couldn't believe it because the white socks sucked. And I was just like, yeah. And nobody's really paying attention to the game except like maybe me and John Mayer. And I was like, they're really, how the fuck are they beating the red socks the red socks are like really good they're like the best team in baseball right now um and like in between me uh trying to eat an entire baseball helmet of nachos i i wrote that for you so yes all right so now i think i mean
Starting point is 00:19:42 i have had this in my possession for like two years now like just wait because i love rowan but he is definitely someone that would like wait for me to get the tattoo and then be like by the way i wrote that shit like he wasn't even there i didn't even meet the meet the guy yeah that would be very that's a cruel joke probably four years ago now ron once called me from like you know his buddy's number and said that he was like one of the heads oh yeah that's why listen we got like an exclusive interview with brock lesnar for you we want you to hop over to bleach report i went to my bosses and i was like these fucks at bleach reporter trying to steal me we better go like after them and my boss went
Starting point is 00:20:20 after them she's like you you're kidding me i had dinner with that guy last week and it was all roan at the middle of it just you know i forgot about that that's why that's why i was so skeptical and i when you were in the office last time i totally blanked and forgot to ask you about it so yeah no just just be careful with them if you're around roan again keep eyes in the back i don't trust anybody who works at Barstool. Right. Right. Well, it was a two-part question. The second part was like, how cool is it to hang out with John Mayer for a whole day? It's great. It's great to hang out with somebody more famous than you.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. You know what I mean? They can take some of the shine off you. I remember we were sitting there watching the game. And like I said, me and John were paying attention to the game. Everybody else kind of wasn't. And all of a sudden, White Sox employees came like bursting into the room and they're like hey we heard you guys were here we just wanted and like somebody makes eye contact with me and they're like uh-oh wait uh and I go no no it's okay it's okay he's way more famous than
Starting point is 00:21:19 me they had a they went and they printed a White Sox jersey with John's name on it but the person came in and didn't see John right away, and they saw me, and they were like, oh, this is the wrong name. And I was like, no, no, no, I don't give a shit about your White Sox anyway. I was going to say, you're like, I'm a White Sox fan. Yeah, so they're like, oh, great, great. Yeah, it was beautiful to watch people run to him and deflect everything from me. I was in heaven.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Have you been to a Blackhawks game yet since they started to allow fans back? I don't believe they're allowing fans back. We're still – Really? Yeah. Chicago still takes this shit seriously. United Center hasn't allowed anybody in. Cubs and White Sox are allowing fans.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I'm assuming that has a lot to do with being an outdoor stadium. Still nobody allowed in the united center wow i've thought i've thought about texting people and being like hey come on yeah let me you know like nobody's allowed in there somebody's got to be in there i don't want to i don't want to be that guy you know what i mean get to get everything shut down and then it would get traced back to me and they'd be they'd be outside my house with torches and pitchforks yeah are you gonna go to like the first game that they allow fans back like if your schedule allows probably i probably try to you know we'll see where we'll
Starting point is 00:22:36 see if that happens and where i'm gonna be at you know it'll probably be a playoff game oh nice yeah you got another acting role that i would love to ask you about uh this show heals i've been looking forward to for quite some time now it's written by michael waldron who has written for loki the new upcoming marvel show rick and morty wrote doctor strange 2 which i'm like geez you got to be as a marvel fan every day being like can i have some info come on talk to me about heels obviously this is an independent wrestling show you're kind of stepping back into the ring where obviously you're going to get tons of wrestling questions from this you're going to get the
Starting point is 00:23:14 articles and that so the juice had to be worth the squeeze for you to take this role so what was it about heels that made you want to jump in uh oh i couldn't i couldn't pass it up you know i waldron's writing the new star wars movie too by the way did you know that no you had to jump in uh oh i couldn't i couldn't pass it up you know i waldron's writing the new star wars movie too by the way did you know that no you had to have you had to have known that i feel like i didn't know that the wait he's writing the new uh the patty jenkins i don't i don't know because there are so many there are so many star wars properties so many but waldron's blown up um and he's still very much attached to this, which was, which was great. I was in LA. I want to say, man, it was,
Starting point is 00:23:53 it feels like forever ago, 2016 or 17. And I auditioned for the lead in heels in front of like Waldron was, I hung out with Waldron like all week, you know, he's a great dude, Got along great with him. And he wrote a lot of this television show, I guess, based off of me and Pipe Bomb and a lot of it. And I auditioned for these stars' executives. And everyone was like, gosh, oh, wow, this is amazing. You killed it. Everything was great. The bad news is we're pulling the plug on the whole show.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And I was like, oh, wow, I did that good that I just tanked this entire show. That's, that's a, that's good for my self-esteem. They're like, we saw what we needed to see. Yeah. Yeah. This is terrible. You suck. Uh, but they, they brought it back to life. And I remember Waldron reached out and he was like, Hey, I want you to hear it from me. Like they're bringing it back. Um, it's kind of not my baby anymore obviously because that's what happens when you write stuff you write screenplays you sell them
Starting point is 00:24:49 they're no longer yours but he's still attached um and he was like Stephen Amell's got the the lead and I was like that's great you know I said that guy loves wrestling so at least I know it's in good hands you know and I can't be mad that I didn't get something I auditioned for. I've auditioned for dozens and dozens of really rad stuff in my life and I haven't got it. And it's just like, you know, you see who gets the role and you go, oh yeah, that makes sense. I'd pick him. I'd pick him over me too. But I was, I was super excited just to see the project get greenlit and Stephen Amell, like I said, giant wrestling fan. So I was stoked. And then it comes back around that a role opened up
Starting point is 00:25:32 and Waldron suggested me. And they hired me sight unseen. And I was just happy to be a part of the project. I was brought in for like a one shot. And I must have done something right because they immediately started rewriting episodes and they brought me back uh so I'm excited for wrestling fans especially to see this just because being around everybody for so long uh and seeing how hard they worked on it and how hard they wanted to be authentic to the wrestling world how they didn't want to offend
Starting point is 00:26:02 wrestling fans or wrestlers uh and there's there there's, I saw Stevie Richards on set. I haven't seen Stevie in years and years and years. And I know they, as extras, they use a lot of wrestlers. So it's going to be, it's going to be super fun to, to watch it debuts in August and I can't wait. You mentioned loving to go to video stores and picking out horror films just based on the cover
Starting point is 00:26:29 of the movie. What's one horror movie that hasn't been remade yet that you would love to remake and star in? Oh man. Would you rather be the big bad guy the big villain or like the ass you haven't been a hero yeah and remember this is this is like you want it to do well like it's not like a personal favorite of punks it's uh it's a we're trying to make some money at the box like he's putting his
Starting point is 00:27:02 own money into this oh man see i if you want to make money at the box. Like he's putting his own money into it. If you want to make money at the box office, I'm not sure horror is the way that you want to go. Halloween crushes. Yeah. Blumhouse, but Blumhouse is a different beast. They're killing it. I would honestly like off the top of my head, can't be kind of eighties movies that would follow in the vein of stuff that they have remade, like they've remade Child's Play
Starting point is 00:27:29 and put a different spin on it. I would like to see a remake of Critters, I think, because I think in 2021, I think that could be pretty fun and special. I can't do both. That would be one where I'd have to lie about seeing the movie
Starting point is 00:27:44 when we do the interview. We'd be like, oh, yeah, it was great, Punk. Yeah. A lot of rats in Jacob's Wife, too. I mean, like if you don't like the small critters, yeah, don't. There's a lot of rats in heels, too. And if you're a wrestling fan, you'll understand the reference. That's a good one, yeah. What about They Live?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Like, obviously, it's a Roddy Piper classic, but people would say, punk the wrestler going into horror movies. I don't know. It would be a good fit. Yeah, I mean, talk about a movie that still resonates today, right? Like, They Live. To me, that's a perfect movie, though.
Starting point is 00:28:18 You know, like, we don't need to... Maybe you do a sequel. And a perfect poster, by the way. You talk about, you know, picking a horror movie based on the box. They Live is one of the all-time posters with the sunglasses coming down. Yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Maybe you do a sequel. You know what I mean? Or, yeah, soft reboot, they call it nowadays. You put J.J. Abrams in charge of that. He just seems to be rebooting everything. Before we get you out of here, I tweeted you prior to, I forget which UFC number it was, though. It was connor and
Starting point is 00:28:45 poirier and i asked you for a prediction and you said that you had this wild dream where poirier finished connor in spectacular fashion as a conor mcgregor fan i'm blaming you for that loss i think it's i think it's you spoke it into existence basically but we have ufc 262 coming up michael chandler versus charles alvera i wanted ask you for, you know, the magic ball prediction that you've got on this one. Well, it doesn't happen often, but I do have the occasional dream and I'm not making this up. The morning Khabib fought Gaethje, I woke up from a dream where I was like, Khabib by triangle. And I didn't tweet it just because, you know, it was just like one of those things. And the same thing happened with Poirier and Conor.
Starting point is 00:29:35 If I have a dream about finish going into this fight, I will let you know. Let me know yes but on on paper uh the way both guys match up uh I I do feel sometimes momentum has a lot to do with mixed martial arts fights and how they go uh and I just think Chandler is uh yeah I don think he's going to necessarily run away with that fight, but I think he has all the confidence in the world and he's got all the momentum in the world. And he's just a guy that I, you know, I don't think you've ever seen Charles with knockout power in his hands. He's an amazing kickboxer. I think people think of him as a jujitsu guy, but he's really not. Like he's so well-rounded. I just, you know, I, but I, I, I gotta go Chandler. You know, that's, that's my official prediction.
Starting point is 00:30:33 It's going to be a hell of a fight though. It's hard to pick against him after that hooker fight, right? Where it's like, if he goes out and does that again, you're going to be like, well, I'm an idiot for not assuming he was going to go and do that again. After he stepped in there with Dan Hooker in his UFC debut in a co-main event of a Conor McGregor card. Like, the stakes could not have been higher for him.
Starting point is 00:30:51 And he went in there and one-punch KO'd him. It was crazy, crazy to see. It's the wildest sport in the world, isn't it? It is. And, I mean, we don't even have to get into the fighter losing his finger at CFFC. I was on vacation at that time talk about ruining a vacation i was at dinner too i was just like oh god uh fighter just lost his finger in mma never heard of that before but he lost it you had to make the announcement of
Starting point is 00:31:15 glad to be everyone check under their chairs uh we're looking for this finger it wound up being in his glove right it was in his glove the whole time yeah yeah i wound up being like ripped off and like tucked in his glove which is i mean it's it's wild it was wild while it was happening we weren't really sure what we were seeing uh but i was getting information delivered to me from like the k like i had owner rob haydack like running in between the cage and running to the booth to like tell me he's like his fingers gone he was pantomiming to me because i got a headset on and i was like it's gone like what does that mean it's you're like i'm straight edge but it feels like i'm tripping balls right now what's going on it was yeah if that's if that's what it feels like man awful yeah oh my god all right cm punk this
