Remember the good old days when if you asked a wrestler if wrestling was fake, he had permission to beat the livin hell out of you?

cant wait for the media to blow this up to unnecessary levels so they can try and get ratings
did he (Punk) break the guy's nose? did they guy have to go to the hospital? did he turn around jump on him and wail on his face? No.
Wrestlers go into the crowd ALL the time, fans should have more respect than that. No ONE has the right to put their hands on a performer like that. Punk reacted instantly in self-defense from being heckled and shoved by like 4 different people.
It's called anger, we ALL have it...and I'm tired of people trying to act like they are better than it. Sucks that guy caught one in the face, but blame the idiots around him who couldn't keep their hands to themselves. I would have done the same thing if I was Punk.
Most fans in general know the boundaries....when guys are fighting in the crowd you'll see the occasional pat on the back, etc. There were at least TWO people that SHOVED Punk. That's crossing a line, I don't care if Punk is a "professional" or not...there comes a point in life where instinct overrides professionalism, and you gotta protect yourself.

Here's the indisputable proof. Sunglasses Guy is innocent, Punk acted like a ing idiot. Look closer. Sunglasses guy's arm hit the back of Punk's head, which is what Punk was reacting to. Punk was already turning around when the shoulder tap happened. Punk was reacting to a fan hitting him in the back of the head, intentional or not, sunglasses guy hit Punk, and not knowing if it was malicious or not, Pubk reacted. No. Sunglasses Guy's arm is up at the same time White Shirt Guy slaps Punk in the back of the head. SG didn't "hit" Punk, he might have grazed him at most. CM Punk isn't an idiot. He has common sense. When there's a dozen guys surrounding you and you have your back turned to them, it's practically impossible to know for sure who would have hit you. Turning around and acting like that was reckless and irresponsible. Why people are jumping through hoops to defend Punk, I'll never know.

He hits the wrong guy too, which is what's even worse.

Here's the video with him pushing the kid back. In this angle, you can clearly see he was being provoked.

Look, if Punk feels that getting physical with the person getting physical with him was necessary then okay then. But not even looking what you're doing, and hitting an innocent fan is completely out of line. Punk should have been able to control his anger. He couldn't. It's somewhat understandable. Turning around and swinging at someone else is WRONG.

Well to be fair it does look like the guys arm hits the back of Punks head after the white shirt douche bag hits him and honestly it looks kind of intentional. I mean come on who takes the time to puts on a pair of sun glasses while the WWE champion is standing right in front of them, it almost looks like he bumps him and then tries putting the glasses on to make it seem like he didnt do it on purpose. I dont know though.

Not condoning Punk's actions, but I understand why he got mixed up..he gets hit in back of head, turns around see's a guy with his elbows up. but still,Punk should've have reacted like that.

I work in a nightclub, and I work in crowded areas if it happened to me, I would've done the same thing. Night Clubs aren't PG Environments though. Kind of the opposite in fact. This is a kids show. Would you of done the same thing if some 12 year olds where bothering you? And lol at CG12's path of rage.

ok i just watched that video like 15 times. there are 2 people involved in this situation, the tall guy in the black shirt (who got hit) standing behind punk, and the shorter guy in the white shirt behind the guy who got hit. the kid in the white shirt pushed the kid in the black shirt INTO Punk and is hiding behind him, so Punk think's the kid in the black shirt pushed him. (This was also the second time Punk was almost pushed down the stairs because he's trying to play his part and the fans are physically ing with him) ....then 2 seconds later DUMMY in the white shirt is flipping punk off and pushes the back of his head....at the same time the guy in the black shirt's right arm comes down and slaps punk on the top of the head, so at this point Punk is fully convinced "sunglasses guy" has now pushed & hit him TWICE within 5 seconds, so he half turns & swings his hand back to hit the guy away from him. he (Punk) obviously used more force than was necessary, but people are going to try and make this out to be like Punk punched an innocent fan in the face and hopefully he, vince, the WWE, whoever will actually STAND UP for Punk and prove to everyone that it was not this malicious violent "bullying" crap that the media and everyone will try to claim.

It's so silly.

If Punk legit punched the guy he would have a mark somewhere on his face and from the pic that was tweeted you can see theres no mark what so ever.
