MJF thinks AEW and WWE stars can learn something from CM Punk's antics.

MJF is absolutely outraged that CM Punk left him off his recent AEW wishlist.

Being the pro that he is though, the AEW star decided to praise Punk's past during an interview with 'The Wrestling Perspective Podcast'. Mr. Friedman is especially impressed by how the former WWE man conducted himself during his time on the independent scene and in Ring Of Honor.

MJF noticed that Punk was one for "never wavering on who he was as an individual when he was around fans". That's something he's directly influenced by, and it's why he'll never hop onto Twitter and start gushing over opponents for matches or thanking fans for their support.

"We’re stars! Why am I going to go out of my way to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?", he added.

There's obviously some kayfabe garnish to MJF's comments, but he believes in the core of what he's saying. He admired how guys like CM Punk before him carried themselves like a big deal. That, to MJF, is the way pro wrestlers should be.

So, basically, shove your compliments - he won't reply to them. Good to know!
