CM Punk got a big endorsement by working with Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio early on in his pro wrestling career.

Recently, the self-proclaimed Best in the World appeared as a special guest on Elite Comics 11‘s charity stream. There, he spoke about the time he worked a triple-threat match with Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. It was during his early days as a wrestler.

“Oh God, a match? A match where I kind of figured things out? I really don’t know. I’d really have to think about it and maybe working with Rey Mysterio and Eddie (Guerrero) for the first time. We famously did a three-way in like a — I don’t know. It was like a school gymnasium somewhere in Indianapolis or it was somewhere in Indiana or something like that for IWA (Mid-South). It was when Eddie was in between jobs.

“Rey, WCW had just kind of folded. Rey was one of the guys that was not signing with WWE right away and that one kind of put me on the map, but it also gave a lot of stuff that — I knew I wasn’t as good as I thought I was at that moment, you know? Working with pros like Rey and Eddie and so, it just kind of set me down the path of there’s a whole new bar for me after working with these guys and I have to try to reach to get to it, you know?” [H/T PostWrestling.com]
