{{quote|I have no breaking point, and all you have to do is look in my eyes and realize I have laughed in the face of temptation time and time again. I have never tapped out to society's attempts at peer pressure. You try to stick a beer in my hand with the same commercials that have hypnotized all of you people, and that sell you all your narcotics and things you're addicted to. Well, I'm harder than any alcohol you can drink, I'm straighter than any line you can snort up your nose, and I certainly can hurt you a lot faster than any pill you put on your tongue.}}
 
'''[[CM Punk''']] (real name Phil Brooks) is a professional wrestler, having worked with various promotions over the years - most notably, [[Ring of Honor]] and [[WWE|World Wrestling Entertainment]]. He made a name for himself in the indies for his "Straight Edge" gimmick: he flaunted his Straight Edge lifestyle (which, according to pretty much everyone who's ever known him, is completely legit) over other wrestlers, and told them that "I'm better than you!" because of it. He used to head a growing faction in WWE called the Straight Edge Society, which promised to "save" people from their self-destructive lifestyles by helping them embrace the principles and beliefs of a Straight Edge lifestyle. He left WWE on 7/17/11, having beat [[John Cena]] to win the WWE Championship, becoming the first man to leave the company with the title; he returned eight days later, staring down Cena to end RAW.

== Tropes associated with CM Punk include ==
 
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Most definitely as a face. Usually a solid [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type III]] but can slip upward to Type II ''or'' downward to Type IV depending on the situation/feud.
* [[Heroic BSOD|Anti-Heroic BSOD]]: Jericho bringing up Punk's alcoholic father as a sticking point for his Straightedge lifestyle and promising to make Punk "drink" his loss away after Wrestlemania sent Punk into this. All he did after Jericho's promo was pick up his championship and walk away, head tilted down, in a sullen mood.
