3 similarities between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan

#1 Straight Edge Lifestyle

Punk and Bryan had a series of excellent matches for the WWE Championship in 2012

Professional wrestling is a very demanding profession. Being away from your family for 200-250+ days and the hectic travel schedule can take a toll on one's body. Drug, alcohol and steroid abuse was a common occurrence in the business during its heyday in the '90s

We have seen superstars like Scott Hall, X-Pac, Kurt Angle, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts speak out about their addiction and how hard it was for them to overcome those and get their life back on track.

Both Punk and Bryan have managed to stay from the vices that one would generally associate with a WWE Superstar. Bryan is a self-proclaimed teetotaler who has never had a drink in his life. Bryan is a huge advocate of veganism, being a vegan himself. Bryan's eco-warrior character had lots of elements taken from his real-life which made the character feel real and entertaining in our opinion.

CM Punk's Straight Edge lifestyle has been a big part of his wrestling career. The Chi-town native has used elements of his straight-edge lifestyle throughout his career. From his legendary feud against Jeff Hardy to The Straight Edge Society storyline, Punk has never shied away from telling people that he never gave in to the vices and has remained clean his entire life.
