CM Actually Stands for Chick Magnet
Depending on where you look, the "CM" in Punk's wrestling name could mean a number of things. Some sources say it stands for "Cookie Monster" or "Cookie Master," referring to his childhood love of cookies. Other sources say it stands for: Charles Montgomery, Chuck Mosley, Crooked Moonsault, Charles Manson, Chicago Made or Crazy Mariachi.
So why all this confusion? Ask CM Punk. Punk has admitted on numerous occasions that he enjoys giving people a ton of different names, just to mess with them.
His Tattoos All Mean Something
Everyone knows that CM Punk has a ton of tattoos. That's no curious fact.
The meanings behind all of his tattoos, however, are pretty interesting.
For example, the Pepsi globe on his left shoulder is a symbol of his straight edge life (and love of Pepsi) and also pays homage to a similar Coca-Cola tattoo on the body of Brian Barker, a guitarist for the band Minor Threat.
Punk's left arm has numerous tattoos related to luck including a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover and a horseshoe along with the words "Luck is for Losers."
The former WWE champ's other curious tats include his Cobra Command logo on his right shoulder and the No. 31 behind his ear.
The Cobra Command logo is a reference to Punk's love of comic books while the 31 behind his ear is his little sister's jersey number, which also includes stars underneath the number, all representing a different sibling.
He Was Part of John Cena's Entrance
This fact is one that a lot of people probably know, but you can't deny that it's about as curious as it gets.
It's normal practice for WWE developmental guys to act as the security team or other random extras during WWE programming, but few of the random extras ever make it to the main event, especially to the level that Punk has reached.
Punk was a part of John Cena's WrestleMania 22 entrance (seen here) as an old-school gangster and is rumored to have spent a few big pay-per-views in robes as one of Undertaker's druids.
Hard to believe that the random face used in Cena's entrance would later beat him in some of the most epic WWE Championship matches since the Attitude Era.
He was in ROH
CM Punk was one of the best Ring of Honor wrestlers during his time with the brand. His feud with former WWE star Raven was one of ROH’s best feuds in 2003. In the tournament to decide the first ROH Pure Champion, Punk came second to the winner, A.J. Styles. There he won the ROH World Heavyweight Championship and also the ROH Tag Team Championship, twice. Punk was one of the first ever ROH head trainers, this position is highly regarded at ROH. Daniel Bryan was also one of them.
His first theme song wasn’t for him
CM Punk made his WWE debut to the theme song called “This Fire Burns” by Killswitch Engage on August 1, 2006, a song which was first used by Randy Orton for just one night, March 3, 2006. The theme song definitely didn’t suit Orton and because WWE didn’t want to waste the rights bought for that music, they decided to use it for Punk’s entrances, and luckily it suited him and he went on to use it until the 2011 Money in the Bank where he won the WWE Championship from John Cena and ran away with the title. Next night on Raw, he returned with a new entrance theme called “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour, a song which he also used during his time at the ROH.
