20 Ways WWE Killed CM Punk And AJ Lee's Passion For Wrestling

18. Comfort Is The Enemy Of Motivation

For the first five years of CM Punk's pro wrestling career, he oftentimes likely sat cramped in a car with four other wrestlers while wrestling on shows where the idea of actually making money was entirely a possibility. That same notion is also shared by AJ Lee. That level of actual physical hunger drives passion, interest and an undying will to succeed. Of course, fast-forward to CM Punk and AJ Lee in say, 2013, when both of them were assuredly receiving paychecks for their work, oftentimes in such a number that Punk could accidentally find a five-figure one and need it re-cut by WWE. That's a level of comfort that certainly makes wrestling a match that's not-so desirous rather difficult.
