5 Things you may not know about CM Punk: Which musical instrument does he play? What does CM stand for?

#4 What does the CM in CM Punk originally stand for?

CM Punk did a very interesting interview with IGN.com early in his career in 2006. During the interview, he was asked what the CM stood for. Punk revealed that when he had originally come up with the name, CM had stood for "Chick Magnet":

"Originally it stood for Chick Magnet. I got put into a tag team with this other dude on a whim because somebody didn't show up to a show. It was only supposed to be a one-shot deal, I wasn't even ready to wrestle yet, I didn't have gear or anything, they just put me in the ring and beat the crap out of me. I had to come back the next month and the next month and it was something that stuck."

"I tried to get rid of it, and it wound up getting shortened to the initials. I was always Punk, but Chick Magnet at least got shortened to CM. I tell people it stands for C. Montgomery Burns, as in Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. I tell people they are initials for my real name, Chuck Mosley, which is not true at all. I'll say it stands for Crooked Moonsault, Charles Manson…Cookie Monster is another good one," said Punk.
