7 Things We Learned From The Evolution Of Punk Episode 3
4. Punk Is Using His Celebrity To Help Others
The best moments of The Evolution of Punk's third episode aren't the injury details, or the bit of training we see Punk do. It's not even Punk getting his first stripe on his Jiu-jitsu white belt. No, it's the stuff outside of the fight game.
One of those involves a Make A Wish Foundation recipient, Alex, who is a big CM Punk fan, and wanted to meet the former wrestling star. Punk goes all out, taking him out to the comic book store, something he was going to do anyway as it was the day his Drax comic was being released. They spend a lot of time talking and Punk buys him a copy of Drax - and a copy of The Watchmen, which Punk highly recommends.
Be as cynical as you want - sure, the cameras are rolling - but this is something that Punk seems to genuinely care about. He showed that in an earlier episode, at a fan signing. Whatever you think of Punk's career path to the UFC, or how he left WWE, the guy has a good heart and is giving something back.
