10 People CM Punk Pissed Off Most In His WWE Career

When you are an outspoken and opinionated person, people might get annoyed or just flat-out ignore you. But when you are outspoken, opinionated and extremely successful, then you€™re bound to get under people€™s skin. It€™s just human nature: If you have a colleague who shines at everything he does, brags about it and then tells other people why they aren€™t as good or what they€™re doing wrong, he€™s going to have people staring daggers at him. The same can be said about CM Punk the erstwhile WWE main-eventer who built a following of fans in the past few years that rivaled that of John Cena €“ although it looks like there were more Fruity Pebble-clad kids than adolescents and adults with taped fists and tattoos. Still, Punk built his loyal following by dropping pipebombs €“ speaking his mind in a layered way that everyday fans enjoyed in an Austin-like fashion and that €˜smart€™ fans got on a different level. He took shots at supposed sacred cows in WWE, called superstars by their real names and then backed everything up in the ring. But during his (to-date) nine years in WWE, Punk€™s outspoken ways have surely riled his colleagues. There are plenty of stories floating around €“ some validated, some rumored, some from just good old-fashioned common sense €“ about WWE personnel who have been p****d off at Punk at one time or another, and if his WWE career is indeed winding down with the calendar, then it€™s worth looking at some of those whose skin Punk crawled under.
