Sh*tting yourself is embarrassing.

Well it must be. This isn't a firsthand experience. You'd simply think that voiding your bowels as a grown adult must be a shameful experience. Sh*tting yourself in the middle of a wrestling ring in front of thousands of people: who does that?

Other than every other NXT 2.0 wrestler, of course.

It's not something a high-profile wrestler intending on taking themselves seriously would readily admit to, but 2013 was a different time, and CM Punk was in a very different place. Bluntly, he had lost his last f*ck a long time prior to December when, in the middle of a match with Dean Ambrose, he "sh*t his britches" on WWE SmackDown. Constantly ill and unable to locate any motivation, given the horrendous schedule he was asked to grind through regardless, Punk not only did it, involuntarily, but advertised that fact to the world.

He was b*llocked by WWE for tweeting the word "sh*t," because swearing is unacceptable on a platform that children should not have unmonitored access to, and is much worse than operating a company that appears not to give a sh*t about worker's rights.
