I believe CM Punk, as a normal human being and as an adult man, actually drinks alcohol regularly and the whole clean lifestyle thing is just a "gimmick" and part of his pro wrestling character, maybe it he just started doing it as part of an "angle" and quickly realized what kind of "pop" he was getting from the crowds and how that might be good for his "face" persona, and now look at what a "draw" he is. Pretty sure we'll be seeing him down some shots when he goes out and celebrates his first MMA win. Curious what other fans think.

This is true except for the fact that he probably actually in real life never drinks because he is so goddamned carny and old school and committed to the gimmick. I hope he stays in character forever.

That doctor has some loving balls to him to go out and try and sue him, when his treatment for what turned out to be MRSA was continually giving him Z-Pacs (sp?), before going out to the ring.

Well yes, the idea that CM Punk is lying about this is why the doctor is suing him.

It's antibiotics, basically. Punk explained it in the interview where he talked about the z-paks

I have no idea either, I just saw it linked in here in regards to CM Punks legal case. I think the doctor was giving him superhuman doses of antibiotics instead of solving his real problem? I don't know or really care. Someone else can probably explain it.

Azithromycin is an antibiotic that usually comes in a pack of six thus Z-pak. It is used for all kinds of poo poo but is basically useless for MRSA.

In his shoot interview, Punk talked about how every injury he got in WWE, no matter how serious, he was prescribed nothing more than a Z-Pack (antibiotics) by their incompetent doctor when in fact he probably needed surgery or at least some kind of more serious medical treatment.

Also the most popular brand name of the antibiotic is Zithromax and they use the "Z-Pak" name on all the free poo poo they give to doctors and stuff.

It's not even a superhuman dose. A zpak is an extremely common 6 tablet/5 day course. It's like the go-to antibiotic dose of choice in the US.

Pro wrestling is extremely epic and cool. Its about the story of man vs. man, man vs. god, nature vs. gold dust (some of the 7 story types). Sadly it's wasted on pro wrestling fans. Imagine this: You're just a regular guy. You drive your atv around and drink beers all the time. You have a hit podcast. Then, a call to action. Your boss damns you to hell and reveals that it was him all along. What's next? You go on a hero's journey . This is the story of wrestling. Good vs. evil. Gold dust vs. Evil Gold Dust. It's a passion play.

Some of that sounds like MMA legend Donald Cerrone, so maybe we're not as different as we think

As someone who has had a staph infection that quite possibly could have been MRSA (THANKS VA HOSPITAL IN LAKE CITY FLORIDA), the thought that he was just given a z-pak blows my mind. The poo poo they had me on poo poo that restricted me from loving sunlight for 10 days. I felt horrible the whole god drat time I was on them.

MRSA is so bad that when it's found in hospitals over here, the media have panic attacks, and for once, they might be fairly rational (by media standards) to do so.

I never googled MRSA and always thought it was just some infection worse than some staph infection...

I've had a grand total of five knee surgeries and now I learn that over here, there would have been an other-than-zero chance of this happening?

As opposed to Vince not employing a doctor equally carny in order to keep up appearances and keep wrestlers holding it together after performing splashes, slams, landing on the floor, taking bumps on tables, catching 300 lb dudes launching themselves in midair, not getting properly caught by said dudes after calling a spot and landing hard onto the floor, chair shots, three to four times a week again and again. Its no stretch to think Punk would tell his side of the story, parts sounding like a tall tale, but in no way is it a stretch to think someone employed by King Carny Vince McMahon would be somehow blameless. If that were the case the doc would be flagging everyone on the roster or almost for not passing their Wellness Program. Its as much of a sham as wrestling is real.

Pretty high. The feeling at the time when Punk's interview went out was mixed. With some people seeing it as part of the job and that at one time or another everyone has worked injured (John Cena is basically falling apart at this point) and others who were behind Punk. Given that working injured is simply seen as the thing to do I'd say there's a lot of Z-packing going on. I mean Punk did poo poo himself in the ring because he'd been given so many antibiotics but you just get on with it, because that's what everyone else did.
