I want to see the light fade from his eyes as he realizes he done hosed up and I want to be here to watch wrestle-posters realize that CM Punk is a 36 year old washed up whiny wrestler who never main evented a Wrestlemania or won a fight
all of the wrestle posters are already making fun of him for going into mma dude

So how serious is Punk about the straight-edge thing? I could see him winning fights against some nobodies simply on the ground that he can afford way better designer gear than most.
he has like 50 tattoos and has never even taken painkillers even when he had a huge staph infection

he's really hardcore about it

Whether CM Punk gets his rear end kicked or kicks rear end, we can all honestly say that he had the balls to get in the octagon and fight. It is clear now that he has been wanting to do this for some time and he finally is. Punk goes after what he wants and that is why I will always back him 100%. Always have and always will. I would say good luck to him, but we all know who luck is for
love him or hate him, you gotta respect cm punk

Someone explain to me who CM Punk is. Was he like a natty wrestler? Was he popular or something?
TL;DR:

He was a big name indy wrestler in the early 2000s. Very popular in Ring of Honor.
He got hired by WWE as a midcard guy and languished there for a couple of years, but between a hot feud with a guy named Jeff Hardy that ended with him basically accidentally winning it because Hardy got arrested IRL for drugs and consistently strong promos and matches, he got pushed to near the top of the card.
Feuded with John Cena, the biggest name in WWE (who internet fans hate because he's squeaky clean and not that great on the mic and is a decent but very safe and repetitive wrestler), for a couple of years on-and-off, culminating in him being given a live mic on air and going off on WWE's business practices and favoritism. He then won the title off Cena in Chicago, Punk's hometown in a match that was so hot the arena was literally shaking when the crowd cheered.
Instead of carrying that momentum forward to be the new top guy, he jobbed to a returning old guy and went right back to being near but not at the top of the card, then he basically walked out in frustration and found out he had an injury that could have killed him at just about any time if it wasn't treated.

general persona, both on and off air, was very sarcastic and smarmy but also making good points. Since he's vehemently straight edge irl he could also be counted on to piss clean, which is another reason it's weird WWE didn't keep him at the top.

So the internet basically wanted to side with him when he walked out, since he had a lot of legitimate grievances about how he was treated, his pay, his medical issues, etc, but between poo poo like basically cutting ties with all his old friends and deciding to kill himself in a UFC ring he comes across as kind of a jackass.

He's also been spoiled by Cena's only desire in life to be the ultimate company man, who is willing to learn Mandarin to help WWE get into the Chinese market, Punk wouldn't do that.
punk would write a comic book about The Mandarin

He said a lot of disrespectful and borderline racist things about these Brazilian and Mexican guys he was matched up with, he ducked one of the best wrestlers in the game, and when he finally lost a match he called his own rematch and refused to do any promos for it so he got pulled from the biggest ppv of the year

Oh is that why every other move has that happening? I googled WWE to get an idea of what Punk's moveset was and like how hard it looked and there is quite a bit of laying about groaning and holding yourself
it's called selling. since you aren't actually getting hit, you have to make it look like you got hit, and it hurt real bad.
