7. WWE Movie Opportunities
They're lame as f**k. However, he was considering taking part in the 12 Rounds film. It would mean time off during which he could rest up and recover from injuries. The film coincided with WWE's yearly European tour, something CM didn't want to miss. The day after Punk had talked with Triple H about 12 Rounds, a phone call came through and the acting gig had gone to Randy Orton instead with no call asking Punk's opinion on the switch. They heard his concerns and made the change immediately. It was another example of Punk not getting opportunities he was deserved of, he wasn't picked despite being a bigger merchandise seller than Orton. Granted he badly needed the time off to heal but the fact he would happily do something he thought was utterly rubbish shows he perhaps loves money more than he does wrestling.
