9 Wrestling Moments Involving Future Stars When They Were Young

2. CM Punk With Steve Austin

Cm Punk Steve Austin CM Punk is a lot of things to a lot of different people, but what he is more than anything is a guy that has always loved pro wrestling. It was the kind of thing that allowed him to fit in with society because he didn't have an easy upbringing. He always found time for wrestling, though. He started wrestling in his teens and made a name for himself on the indies in his early 20s. There are two pics that have been made public of Punk fraternizing with WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin. In one of the photos he's rocking some red hair while posing with some of his friends and Austin. You can even see Davey Boy Smith in the background. It's probably from 1996 or 1997.

We never got to see the Austin/Punk match, but they had a backstage segment on Raw years ago and then they did an interview for a WWE video game a couple of years ago that was amazing. Remember what shirt Punk was wearing when he did his famous 2011 "shoot" promo in Las Vegas? It was a Stone Cold shirt. He's always been a fan.
