If the story's there for it, if there's a reason for it, then I'm all for it. But if you throw in a barbed wire match just to do a barbed wire match, then it makes no sense to me.
CM PunkThe best thing you can probably do is keep a low profile, keep your eyes and ears open, your mouth shut, and you will learn a ton.
CM PunkMike Knox, I am also getting real sick of this! Your problem isn't me staying away from your girl... Your problem is your girl staying away from me!
CM PunkOne week I'll get pancakes at Bongo Room, the next week I go to Kuma's Corner. But I always end up at Coldstone. I love ice cream.
CM PunkUntil you announce me as the #1 contender for the WWE Championship, I suggest you watch me make snow angels.
CM PunkI don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that's just me. That's how I live my life.
CM PunkI am STILL better than you. Because I AM drug free, I AM alcohol free, and Iโm straightedge.
CM PunkI donโt drink, I donโt smoke, I donโt do drugs. I kick people in the face for a living. So, if thatโs something youโre into โ if you like watching people get kicked in the face โ come see me. Iโll probably be your favorite wrestler.
CM PunkThere's one thing you're [John Cena] better at than I am, and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good as kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was.
CM PunkMy dream match is me and Chris Benoit against Fit Finlay and William Regal. That way I get to work with Benoit and I get to beat up and get beat up by Finlay and Regal.
CM PunkThere's a lot of unrest. There are a lot of people who are unhappy. I don't want to say I'm their hero, but a lot of people have said that... It's like this in every job, I think. There's certain people who are afforded privileges and maybe, maybe don't deserve them.
CM PunkWhatever your walk in life is, you pick what you want to be, then go ahead and be the best one.
CM PunkI'm training at everything. Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, striking. Everything. I think to be in the UFC, you have to be well rounded at everything. That's the goal.
CM PunkI don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs... my addiction is wrestling - my obsession is competition.
CM PunkNo matter how much people want to pretend that they're embarrassed by it, that they don't watch it, everybody knows about it. It's truly, I believe, one of the only art forms that America has actually given to the world, besides jazz and comic books.
CM PunkI train hard every day, you know. And some days are better than others. Sometimes I punch someone in the face and sometimes I get punched in the face. But I can deal with that outcome because it's instantaneous. It's in the moment and you can learn.
CM PunkYou'd figure he'd go do something with his life, like maybe he could enlist and actually become a marine!
CM PunkI donโt smoke, I donโt drink, I donโt use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but thatโs just me. Thatโs how I live my life. That stuff never appealed to me and I never understood getting so messed up that you canโt even walk home or remember the previous night. I choose to live my life without it.
CM PunkI'm not Superman. Eventually, the grind gets to you. If you're away from your friends, you're not traveling with anyone you like, and you're doing stuff that doesn't creatively stimulate you, that's when it becomes a job.
CM PunkI've never worn a dress shirt that's been comfortable. I've always just worn dress shoes. On more than one occasion, I've heard that a champion should dress like a champion. But I'm a champion because of who I am. Who I am is not that guy. If everybody wears three-piece suits, everyone looks the same.
CM PunkPlanning stuff out sucks. If you plan stuff out, you wind up talking in a very monotonous, unnatural way.
CM PunkI think Mixed Martial Arts is going to be a huge thing coming up in pro wrestling, and I like to think of myself as one of the first guys to try and implement that into my style.
CM PunkWhy could you smoke all of those cigarettes? Itโs not like they are making you betterโฆ they are killing you. It seemed real idiotic to me.
