#4. CM Punk's love of tattoos
Trending
AEW star CM Punk is well-known for his tattoos. While many of his tattoos have a deeply personal meaning, others highlight various aspects of his personality.
For example, Punk has a tattoo made in honor of Harley Race, one of the most influential trainers in wrestling history. He was a wrestling legend who had a massive impact on CM Punk throughout his career. When Harley passed away, Punk got a peacock tattoo with his signature crown on his left leg as a tribute.
One of the most recognizable tattoos on Punk's upper body is the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Unlike most of Punk's ink, there is no deep-rooted meaning behind the tattoo, as he simply enjoys Pepsi products. It is a perfect example of Punk marching to the beat of his own drum.
CM Punk's tattoos have many themes, but one that shows up frequently is symbols representing good luck. He has a four-leaf clover and a Japanese Koi fish on his left forearm and a rabbit's foot on his shoulder, all of which are symbolic of good fortune.
He also has a tattoo of the number 13, which he has said is his lucky number, on his right elbow. Punk's sleeve tattoos point towards various references to “luck,” a “No gimmicks needed” tattoo on the back of his left hand, which is a tribute to late wrestler Chris Candido, a Cobra Command logo on his right shoulder, and plenty others.
His most iconic ink art would be the “Straight Edge” and “Drug-Free” tattoos on his stomach and knuckles, respectively, which speak out about his beliefs on a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle.
#3. CM Punk has inspired many of the young wrestlers in AEW
CM Punk's influence on the current AEW roster is apparent. Many of the young stars cite him as the reason they got into pro wrestling, including Darby Allin and MJF. Darby even shares the same "Drug-Free" tattoo on his knuckle with the Straight Edge Superstar.
Punk has also shown that he is willing to put over young talents to help the next generation. His first match after seven years was against Darby Allin, and currently, he is embroiled in an intense feud with MJF, who openly talked about being a CM Punk fan.
