Wwe CM Punk

CM Punk was born in Lockport, Illinois, but spent most of his life in Chicago and like many wrestlers he was a big pro wrestling fan from an early age, being particularly inspired by Roddy Piper hitting Jimmy Snuka on the head with a coconut on Piper’s Pit. He follows what is known as a “straight edge” or tee-total lifestyle, which means he doesn’t drink alcohol, smoke or take any form of drugs, although he’s a self proclaimed Pepsi addict, which is reflected in one of his tattoos among others, such as “Straight Edge” on his stomach and “Drug Free” on his knuckles. He also has a homage to the late Chris Candido on his left hand reading “No Gimmicks Needed.” One of the main reasons he opted to live a clean life was because his father was an alcoholic and at high school he got in to the Hardcore Punk following, of which the band Minor Threat Preached the Straight Edge lifestyle. Thus ultimately led to his name being “Punk,” and because he looked like just some tattooed Punk you might see walking down the street.

He was raised by both parents despite strong tension from his father’s drink problems and has two sisters and a brother. Similar to the Hardys and OMEGA, CM Punk was such a big fan of wrestling that he took his passion to the backyard and began his own wrestling promotion Lunatic Wrestling Federation (LWF) with his brother Mike (ring name Mike Broox) among others. This eventually grew in to a garbage Indy promotion that ran out of a warehouse in Mokena, IL and the group did local spot shows, showcasing local talent and friends, although Punk has later called it “god awful.” This is where he officially got his name CM Punk, wrestling in the tag team the Chick Magnets with CM Venom and it’s amazingly stuck ever since, even in the WWE. Punk often makes light of his name saying it means Charles Montgomery, Charles Manson or Crooked Moonsault.

CM Punk was by far the most determined and professional out of the LWF roster and was devastated when he found out his brother Mike Broox was pocketing the money they’d worked hard to put in and and make with the small company. It is believed Mike embezzled thousands of dollars from the promotion and Punk, leading to a big fallout between the two. Mike hasn’t wrestled since.

After high school he rented an apartment with aspiring women’s wrestler Alison Danger, of whom he became romantically involved with and decided that he needed to get professionally trained to make it in the wrestling business, so he sort out a nearby training school called “Steel Domain,” ran be Indy standout Ace Steel and his tag partner Danny Dominion. He was also trained by Kevin Quinn at the school. Here he learned the basics and how to wrestle properly and safely, before hitting the independent scene and ultimately making a name for himself in ROH.

On October 31st, 2006, CM Punk took part in a 6 hour live broadcast special of Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi channel. from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. He seemed genuinely scared about hearing children laughing and running around that were not there. He also brought up the famous Colt Cabana (Scotty Goldman) lost toe joke.

- In October 2007 (during his ECW title reign) CM Punk was in a backstage altercation with Tony Atlas who had been brought in to talk to the younger stars and give them some tips. He told Punk before his match that “stars don’t tape their wrists like that” and that management doesn’t like it, but Punk ignored him, knowing that he’d been doing it since his debut without any issues. After the show Atlas went on a rant about various things and kept giving the evil eye to Punk for disobeying him earlier, seeing him as a ringleader for bad behavior. When CM Punk confronted him the two got in to a massive slanging match with Atlas saying “With an attitude like that you’ll never be called up to TV.” This obviously ruined Atlas’s credibility and everyone generally saw him as an old bumbling idiot, with CM Punk being backed by most people in the locker room. Morale was really low at this point in OVW and punk was seen as a hero.
