thinkin about wrasslin

Did you guys know that there is a straight-edge WWE wrestler named CM Punk? He's really straight edge but it's also his wrestling gimmick. He even has a tattoo that says "out of step". He used to be a good guy, but now he's a major heel. This is from his wikipedia entry:

His character took on a more sinister dimension on the November 27 episode of SmackDown when he revealed that he had converted Luke Gallows, who had previously been portrayed as mentally retarded, to the straight-edge lifestyle which had rid him of his mental troubles.[95] Continuing to espouse his straight-edge philosophy, Punk began to present himself as a cult-likesavior to the crowd, growing his hair and beard long in an allusion to Jesus.[96] Through January 2010 Punk began to convert planted members of the audience to a straight-edge lifestyle, making them take a pledge of allegiance to him and shaving their head as a sign of renewal and devotion

That makes the sign in the audience that said "even Jesus hates CM punk" more understandable.

That's all I got, just thinking about wrestling.

He once said he would beat up everyone in the audience for taking perscription meds and drinking beer, it was pretty rad. He gets the most amazing amount of boos.

He was the best early in the 2010 Royal Rumble. Crazy smiling with blood all over his teeth preaching between eliminating wrestlers.

CM = Chicago Made

after watching WM26 I was thinking how it would be cool to watch all the wrestlemanias in order just to see the changes over the years. Would take a long time, though

Remember are plan to watch wrestling all day on daylight savings day? So we could watch 25 hours of wrestling in one day? That would have been sweet.
