2. He Was A Trainer And A Promoter Way Before Signing With WWE
CM Punk was once an aspiring Vince McMahon. During his teenage years, he operated a backyard style wrestling promotion. As the promoter for this, he actually attained a decent level of success, with the brand actually making some money. The group was called the Lunatic Wrestling Federation and eventually started doing warehouse shows. But it was doomed to failure. Punk has alleged that it collapsed due to his brother, Mike Brooks, embezzling the group for thousands of dollars. Another foray into the wider wrestling business was Punk's role as head trainer for Ring Of Honor. He really is an all round wrestling industry talent, so it's a shame that he's ended his association with the business in the manner that he did in 2014.
