IGN.com has an interview with WWE/ECW star CM Punk where he talks about the origins of his name, being in the ring with Triple H and Shawn Michaels, his "straight edge" lifestyle and more. Here are some highlights below:
On what the "CM" in CM Punk stands for:
"Originally it stood for Chick Magnet. I tried to get rid of it, and it wound up getting shortened to the initials. I was always Punk, but Chick Magnet at least got shortened to CM. I tell people it stands for C. Montgomery Burns, as in Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. I tell people they are initials for my real name, Chuck Mosley, which is not true at all. I'll say it stands for Crooked Moonsault, Charles Manson…Cookie Monster is another good one."
On his early success in ECW:
"I think it's because I'm real. Inside and outside of the ring, what you see is what you get. I'm CM Punk. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm not trying to lie to the people or be fake. I'm not trying to be some crazy, outlandish character. I'm real and they appreciate that. Everything I say, it comes from the heart. It's all real."
On being in the ring with HHH and HBK:
"It was pretty surreal, but trust me when I say I enjoyed every single minute of it. It was awesome. I didn't expect anything like that at all. To be honest, I just wanted to go out there and have fun. I'm competing in a match that I loved, that I grew up watching as a kid. Survivor Series is something that was very surreal to me to be a part of, but now, I just want to do it again. I can't wait until next year. "
On the Extreme Elimination Chamber this Sunday:
"This is by far the most dangerous match that I've ever been a part of. It's not dangerous enough that there's like millions of miles of steel chain, that's hellacious enough on its own, but now there's a barbed wire bat inside, there are all kinds of weapons…that's always good. [laughs]"
On his "straight edge" lifestyle:
"I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that's just me. That's how I live my life. That stuff never appealed to me and I never understood getting so messed up that you can't even walk home or remember the previous night. I choose to live my life without it."
