CM Punk = Straight Edge?

Hi there everyone,
I was reading a blog today and it was talking about CM Punk and the fact that throughout his career, he has always used the gimmick of being “straight edge” which also follows the claims that he is like it in real life.

In ‘Power Slam’, a wrestling magazine, the magazine editor Findlay Martin answered a readers question on whether or not the ‘straight edge’ gimmick was real or not.

“That’s a vicious rumour, as far as we know,” Martin responds. “We have spoken to many people over the last eight years who have been to bars and nightclubs with Punk and/or travelled with him in Europe and the U.S. and Canada, and all report that Punk has invariably abstained from alcohol, illegal drugs and tobacco.”

He also said that some wrestlers who have worked with Punk in the past thought that the way that he said he lived was a lie.

“Since most wrestlers habitually use alcohol and/or drugs and are instinctively distrustful of fellow wrestlers, the assumption among most who did not know Punk when he was working on the independent circuit and treading water in WWE’s developmental system was that his teetotaler/drug-free claims were bogus,” Martin says. “When he reached WWE television and his fame and word spread that his ‘Straight Edge” gimmick was genuine, Punk was ridiculed and even ostracized by some wrestlers for choosing an alternative lifestyle to theirs.”

Well, I must say that I applaud CM Punk for his non-drinking-smoking-drug free lifestyle. I myself don’t drink, smoke or do drugs and I must say that in today’s society it is very hard to not to do these things without being labelled. I think Punk is a great role-model and I feel as though many more stars in his place should be in that position. Good on him I say!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, that is all from me for now.
Ta ta for now.
