FTR Discuss Their Relationship With CM Punk, The Advice He Has Given Them

During a recent Monopoly Events Q&A, FTR discussed their friendship with CM Punk and explained why the three of them get along so well.

FTR also revealed what advice, if any, Punk has given them.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

Dax Harwood on his friendship with CM Punk: “He is one of my best friends in the business. He hasn’t given me any specific advice, but I’ve been pretty forward about my anxiety issues. My anxiety issues stem from sleeping. Going to work was really difficult to me because I didn’t have my wife, who is my support system, I didn’t have her on the road with me. Not that Punk helped me in the way that my wife does, if you know what I’m saying. Maria, sorry, hope you’re not listening. She was my support system and she was my comfort. Going on the road was really difficult for me because I was worried about sleep and I was worried about my mind wandering. Punk would say, ‘come to my room, let’s watch wrestling, let’s hang out.’ He just helped me acclimate my brain back to being on the road for my anxiety issues. I’m forever indebted to him for that.”

Cash Wheeler on how helpful he has been: “My answer is not going to get any better than that. He really hasn’t given us any specific advice. The crazy thing is, he’s usually just very complimentary of what we’ve done. If we have a match with Aussie Open and he watches it, usually it’s just, ‘you guys are insanely good.’ To me, most importantly, we were very like minded as far as our mentality goes, wrestling-wise. That’s what has kind of bonded us. He really hasn’t given us a ton of wrestling advice other than, ‘keep doing what you’re doing,’ which I think maybe more than anything gives us the confidence to know we’re on the right path.”
