So, while I was doing my regular workout at Gold's Gym (Louisville, Kentucky), I ran into CM Punk. It started when I was working out near the benches with a pair of dumbells, and he asked me if I was using the bench. It was then I noticed his Pepsi Logo, cards, and spider web tattoos on his arm. After I took a glance at him, I said "CM Punk, right?", and he smiled and said Yeah. I shook his hand and mentioned that I have been waiting to see him as the ECW champ instead of Morrison. It looked like he was there with a buddy of his. I didn't ask for any autographs or take any pictures obviously, and seeing he was busy with his workout I didn't want to bother him too much. I thought it was pretty cool seeing as he was the first wrestler I have met in 4 years, since I never go to WWE shows anymore. The only thing I didn't get is what he was doing here in Louisville, since I'm assuming he was in Long Island on Tuesday for ECW. When I left, he was still on the treadmill after 45 minutes.
It's nothing really special. I just thought it was pretty neat to meet him there.

Thats pretty awesome. Maybe he was in town to see friends or something, as thats near where OVW runs sometimes right?

thats pretty sick, you should have asked for an autograph. although it was nice of you not to because i bet that was the last thing he wanted to do.

It seems like ever since he went to WWE hes become LESS of an ass*ole. Cool story though.

Jeez, I wish I had the same luck as you did. All I've seen in the gym is Snitsky. Well, I saw one of the wild samoans too, which isn't bad.

I wish I didn't live in some stupid Corny as hell town, the only wrestler to ever be seen in a real wrestling company was Peter B Beautiful, the fat homosexual version of Gorgeous George, he was ricockulous.

I've met him twice, he's an awesome guy. Wasn't a jerk either time, shook my hand, asked me how I was doing, you know the deal. You're alot like me when meeting the wrestlers, saying hello and commenting on how much of a fan you are, and then letting them get back to whatever they're doing.
