WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi appeared on the Masked Man Show to discuss various topics, including his favorite wrestlers to watch as a child.
Femi said, “My favorite was Triple H. To this day, it’s Triple H. Shawn Michaels was up there for me. I’m not just putting over my bosses. CM Punk was a favorite. Broke my heart when he went away.”
On receiving advice from CM Punk:
“I get to talk to Phil a lot when he comes down here. Ask him how he’s doing, he asks me how I’m doing. He gives me advice. It’s different when you get advice from someone who is actively still in it. That way it’s confirmed because they’re moving with the time along with you. Sometimes, when you talk to the old timers and they give you advice, it’s like, ‘Yes, but maybe then might now work now.’ It’s still good advice, it’s not wrong, it’s just a different time and place. When Punk gives me advice, I cherish it. I cherish it so much.”
