Wrestling is pretty DIY. I've been doing it for 12 years, completely on my own. It's like being in a band or running a zine - except that I get to kick people in the face.
CM PunkI'm not doing my job if people are like, "What you do is fake." And literally people on the street are confused, generally, for the first time.
CM PunkI'm a living, breathing example of someone who does the same exact thing, but drugs and alcohol just aren't a part of who I am.
CM PunkYou know, I always like being the bad guy. It just comes more natural to me. I don't gotta smile, I don't gotta kiss babies. It's easier to tell people at airports at four in the morning that I'm not signing their stuff.
CM PunkI'm Straight Edge for me, so what everyone else is doing, it doesn't matter. I've never been pressured to drink or smoke or anything by any of the boys, and if anything, a lot of them like me because I'm always the designated driver. I'm the one who makes sure everyone gets home alright and I'm happy doing that.
