The Rich Eisen Podcast Network launched a new show this week, “No-Contest Wrestling,” hosted by actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. and the Rich Eisen Show’s TJ Jefferson. The podcast’s first guest was CM Punk, and the “Second City Saint” talked about several subjects including Bray Wyatt, Brodie Lee, Steve Austin, Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania IX.
Punk also talked about using the re-recorded version of Living Colour’s “Cult Of Personality” when he came back to WWE last year.
“You know, I’m tight with the band,” he said. “So, yeah, they’re calling me, going, ‘Hey, they’re trying to license the song again. If this isn’t for you, it’s a hard no.’ I didn’t want to say anything, so I kind of told him it was for me without saying it. I said, ‘Maybe you should just let it happen.’ And (singer) Cory (Glover) was like, ‘Is it you or is it not you?’ I said, ‘Cory, I think you should think about it, but what we did (was use the re-released version), and that’s because we pay the band. We’re not paying the record label.’ Oh, okay, all right. They re-recorded it and remastered it. I feel much better being like, ‘Here’s, you know, here you go (giving money gesture).”
