CM Punk hits a fan - Intentional or unintentional?

[John McHenry]

I wouldn't say cool heels killed wrestling but it certainly made people forget what a heel is supposed to be. People can say they want but Punk is getting more and more over by the week it seems as a heel and hearing less CM Punk chants and hearing a lot more boos which is hard to do in today's wrestling.

His comment about "The Ironic" ones trying to help him out was hilarious.

Cuts a better promo than most of the guys on the roster, sign him up.

In the closing moments of the Oct. 8 edition of Raw – during a verbal exchange with Mr. McMahon – an incident occurred betwee***n WWE Champion CM Punk and fans in the crowd.
On Tuesday afternoon, WWE released the following official statement:


“During Monday night’s Raw televised event, WWE Superstar CM Punk exited the ring and into the stands as part of the show. Unfortunately, WWE security was not in the appropriate place at the time. Given CM Punk’s persona as a ‘bad guy,’ fans were naturally heckling him, but unfortunately a few fans began shoving him, and one struck him in the kidney and on the back. WWE regrets that proper security measures were not in place, and CM Punk apologizes for reacting in the heat of the moment. Other than this isolated incident, WWE always provides proper security to ensure the safety of our fans and our performers.â€


“I think the whole situation sucks,†Punk told WWE.com. “It’s an unfortunate and isolated incident. I was up in the stands, surrounded.â€


“Somebody said, ‘let’s push him down the stairs,’†Punk explained. “I got hit in the ribs three times. I was getting shoved and I was getting punched…Then I started getting tagged in the back of the head. Unfortunately, I lashed out in the heat of the moment and I apologize. I’m really just glad nobody was hurt.

Thoughts on what was stated on WWE.COM ?

Kind of surprised they had Punk use WWE.com to talk about it. They usually don't do out of character stuff like this. Some fucked up shit though for fans to say lets push him down the stairs that could have been horrible.

Oh yeah also no criminal charges are going down.

Just got an update from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department about the alleged incident involving @CMPunk.
8:34pm - 9 Oct 12


The Sheriff's Department says at this point the Fan does not want to proceed any further and there is no evidence that a crime occurred.

The Sheriff's Department also says the video is not part of the investigation because there is no investigation.

He didn't do enough damage in my opinion.

He didn't do enough damage in my opinion.

Seriously?

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Seriously?

Seriously, fans own fault for getting all up in his face. Punk did nothing wrong but defend himself. What would you do in that situation?

 

[PHX]

The fan that got hit wasn't the one who fucked with Punk.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I honestly don't blame Punk for what he did though. People were swinging at him and shit. Got caught up in the moment, shit happens.

 

[John McHenry]

Honestly didn't look like he hit him all that hard I couldn't even see the Bruise in the phot though I did see the broken shades. As I stated earlier I'm sure the fan is making out like a bandit in free merch and tix which is reasonable this is actually an incident that has so far gone down as it should.


And in the one video you can see the asshole fan shove Punk pretty good.

 

[PHX]

I kind of wish the sick fuck saying push him down the stairs got hit but think that might have been the kid.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Man got hit in the crossfire, it's unfortunate. But it's not like he ripped a sign.

 

[Prodigy]

Kinda funny the reason they state for no charges is lack of evidence LOL.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

You have to admit, that was one epic bitch slap.
