CM Punk is a showman: his mic skills are terrific, you can buy into him as a heel or a face, and his wrestling style is unique even in a market that has seen it all. That said, even Punk knows that the biggest stage was and always will be the WWE Ring: sure, he can always go back to Ring of Honour and work matches with his buddy Colt Cabana, but at this stage of his career, he needs to be thinking more of his welfare and well-being, and maintaining his profile. In the WWE, the money is good, the performers are the most respected in the business, there is a rich history and it is without any doubt the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. The privileges in being a top-tier star in the WWE are far more than any other company can provide, and that has become even more so now that the WWE Network will provide more exposure to its stars - past and present - than ever before. The showman in Punk will always come back to the stage where the most eyes can watch him perform, and whether he likes it or not, that's the stage he's just apparently turned his back on.
A fan of all things pop culture: movies, TV, comics and music. He is also an avid WWE and sports fan, and supports Boston sports teams, especially the Celtics and the Red Sox, very passionately. He has also been called a 100 percent certified geek.
