10 Things I Hate About CM Punk
He’s the best in the world at winding people up, that’s for sure.
After writing about the Ten Things I Hate About John Cena, Dolph Ziggler and Brock Lesnar, someone challenged me to write in the same format about a wrestler I genuinely loved.
Of course, to a certain degree I already have. Thats the point of the 10 Things I Hate About You gimmick, after all: to take a thing you care about and list the ways in which it drives you bananas. Im a huge Ziggler fan that thinks hes been wasted to the point of sabotage in the last year or so, and back in 2002/2003 and 2012/2013, Brock Lesnar was the game-changing catalyst for havoc that Id always wanted in a WWE main eventer.
But what about a wrestler I didnt just like, didnt just respect, but actually identified with, had followed for years before he was signed to the big leagues? What about CM Punk?
For someone else, this might be a no-brainer: after all, the former record setting WWE Champion - now retired, and seeking a second wind as a UFC fighter - is a little like Marmite. People either like him or they dont, theres rarely a middle ground and if they dont like him, they usually hate him. But if youre a dyed-in-the-wool fan, like me?
It took a little careful thought, but here it is: 10 Things I Hate About CM Punk.
