NEWS: Famously straight edge former WWE Superstar CM Punk may not have been as ultra religious on his anti-drug/anti-alcohol stance as many previously believed. During the most recent edition of Bruce Prichard's Something to Wrestle With Podcast, Prichard recounted a story involving CM Punk at WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race's Birthday party,

"He was in Kansas City or St. Louis or somewhere and it was Harley Race’s birthday and he was in a camp; Harley’s camp, and they were out at a restaurant bar type thing. Everybody got shots for Harley’s birthday. Now Punk doesn’t drink, don’t do drugs, but he took a shot out of respect for Harley Race. And he goes, ‘you know, Harley asked me to do it, one shot’s not gonna kill me. I’m not gonna go get hammered, I took a shot out of respect for Harley Race,’ and for whatever reason I just thought that was cool. That just kinda showed the love and passion he had for the business and respect for the old-timers. He didn’t have to and it would have been fine.”

So CM Punk took a swig; but, only out of respect for the wrestling business and for the legendary Harley Race. Although Punk is technically inconsistent with his heart felt beliefs, he's still authentic, endearing, and a wrestler's wrestler, even if he no longer cares to admit that.
