Longtime friends and one-time rivals for the Ring of Honor championship Samoa Joe and CM Punk had a MOST interesting exchange on Twitter last night:
As noted, the pair had a tremendous feud for the Ring of Honor championship in 2004, including a 60 minute bout that pretty much saved the company from destruction when it took attention away from internal issues and back on the in-ring product. Had it not been for them and that feud, chances are ROH would have died off a long time ago.
For the first time since 2005, they are each free and clear of wrestling contracts that prevented them from wrestling each other again....although there is that UFC contract Punk currently is signed to.
However, that interaction certainly leads one of believe that at least on their own personal end, there's interest in one day reviving the old rivalry. Whether it ever actually happens, who knows, but the "What if?" of it is certainly interesting.
