Punk & Cena at Chicago Comic con this weekend

[Stopspot]

WWE champion CM Punk spoke to Chicago’s SouthTown Star newspaper this week to promote his appearance at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con event this weekend.

Punk was asked about having to share the spotlight with John Cena in his home town (Cena is appearing at the convention today) and whether fans can expect a confrontation between the two. He said:

“You shouldn’t be worried; you should be hoping for one! Actually, we’re at the con on different days. You can probably expect some trash talking, though.”

Despite the storyline rivalry between Punk and Cena, Punk named John Cena as the WWE superstar he most admires:

“I admire just about anybody for various reasons. Everyone has traits that I admire. You’ve got to admire John [Cena] for all the work he does with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, though. The WWE likes to broadcast his involvement with Make-A-Wish, and they should.”

““I know how many of their events I do and how many John does, and there is no comparison.”

Now I wish that I was going there. And I almost got tickets fail on my part

Best part of the article.

CMP: I’m klutzy and uncoordinated. I can’t fly off the top rope. Guys who can do a backflip off a rope like they’re on a diving board ... that is always pretty impressive.

No doubt. I've been wishing the whole time that I was able to go. He'll be at other Comic Cons later this year -- Ohio; Austin, Texas; and New Orleans I believe. I'll eventually make it to one.

Ummmm......when's the one in Austin? Because that's a worthwhile trip for me anytime, but especially to see Punk.

I will only tell you if you get an extra ticket so I can go, too. :

Yeah, OK, it's October 26-28. Punk will be there Saturday, from 12:30 - 6:30. (*cough* Did I mention my birthday is Oct. 29? *cough* Comic Con souvenir gift *cough*)

I'm trying to convince one of my friends we need to go to the one in New Orleans (she loves NOLA, and I've never been), but I doubt we'll get to make it.

I don't really care though, I'll go to RAW on sept 3.

Thanks for the info.

It might be tough explaining to my wife who I'm getting presents for, though. Hmmmmmm…
