CM Punk's GTS is one of the most famous finishing moves in professional wrestling history. Both WWE and later AEW have done an incredible job of protecting the move throughout Punk's wrestling career. However, in one episode of AEW Dynamite, an ex-AEW star executed the iconic move to shock the world, including The Best in the World.Bobby Fish, who left AEW in August 2022, faced CM Punk on the October 27, 2021, episode of AEW Dynamite. Both stars delivered an incredible performance. However, in the closing sequence of the showdown, Fish kicked out at GTS to surprise the fans, which was unscripted. Recently, the former WWE star revealed his side of the story about that major botch.Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fish stated that it was an unintentional move on his part. The former Undisputed ERA member made it clear that he did not want to go into the business for himself. However, his mind did not work at that point, and he kicked out at the two following GTS. “In the moment of the pin, he squeezed my arm—or my leg, or… I don’t, to be honest, it was so long ago I don’t remember exactly what it was. But it’s what we call in the industry ‘the office’ or ‘the Iggy.’ You generally do it to get someone’s attention. There wasn’t a lot of time to think about this. It was ‘do or don’t do,’ and I did — and what I did was kick out.” said Fish [H/T: Ringside News]Check out the full story below:Bobby Fish criticized CM Punk for how he reacted to his GTS botchBobby Fish also revealed the aftermath of his botch on AEW Dynamite in 2021. The 49-year-old discussed that CM Punk did not react well to him kicking out on his GTS. However, instead of confronting him, Punk went straight to Tony Khan and the AEW management.In the same YouTube video, Fish said that he does not feel it was a masculine move. The former NXT star added that The Second City Saint should have confronted him instead of rushing to Tony Khan and the management.“When we got to the back, my expectation was that I would encounter my opponent, we’d discuss it. That opportunity was not given to me. What was given to me was Mr. Brooks in the ear of Tony Khan. To me, it was super passive-aggressive, and it’s not the way men — it’s not the way masculine people — handle business.” said Fish [H/T: Ringside News]While the botch itself does not bother Bobby Fish, he believes the aftermath left a bad taste for him about CM Punk and his work ethic.
