CM PUNK!
The WWE champ talks to Toxic!
What's
the best thing about being a Superstar?
I think getting to travel the world. I get to
see some pretty cool places. We travel a lot though so it’s also the worst
thing about it! Japan is my favourite place, I love the
people over there – they’re very respectful.
What's
the worst injury of your career?
In 2002 I fractured my skull in the ring so
that sucked! It was kind of a freak accident when I was doing a neck-breaker
move and I landed awkwardly!
What's
been the highlight?
The highlight was the Money In the Bank match
against John Cena in Chicago. There are loads of matches I’ve had that I like
though so it’s really hard to choose.
Who
was your hero as a kid?
Rowdy Roddy Piper, Shawn Michaels, and Bret
Hart. There wasn’t a particular match but I just liked seeing these
larger-than-life characters in the ring, and I wanted to be a part of it.
If
you could have a bout with a celebrity who would it be and why?
Is Prince Charles still around? I’ll say him.
Do
you prefer being a good guy or bad guy?
Bad guy! I get to be much more expressive, you
have more freedom and I’m just more at home being a heel.
What’s
the funniest thing a fan has chanted at you?
I was slapped in the face by an 80-year-old Grandmother once. She told me I wasn’t Jesus Christ and hit me! I couldn’t
really do much so I just smiled at her.
What’s
the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you in the ring?
I’ve had my trunks pulled down. Luckily it
doesn’t happen too much though. Sadly it happened live at Survivor Series against Alberto Del Rio so the audience got a bit of a show!
What’s
your favourite finishing move other than yours?
Oh boy – I’m a fan of Alberto Del Rio’s cross
arm-breaker.
Who’s
the prankster in the locker room?
Tyson Kidd plays a lot of jokes. You don’t want
to get on the wrong side of him because he’ll get you pretty good. I can’t tell
you any of the stuff he gets up to though! I think he get’s it from Owen Hart –
he was a right joker as well.
