3 Superstars who weren't WWE fans growing up and 3 who were die-hard fans

#3 CM Punk (WWE fan)

CM Punk

CM Punk began his wrestling career in 1999 and wrestled for several backyard wrestling promotions during his early years. Years before he kicked off his career, Punk had become fascinated with the business and was a big fan. On an episode of WWE Backstage a short while ago, Punk got an opportunity to have a chat with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart. Punk talked about the famous Steel Cage match between Bret Hart and Owen Hart in 1994 and revealed that he was present in the arena that night to watch the match live.

"If you really were a wrestling fan, you’d know the main event was Bret Hart vs Owen Hart."

Punk made his way to WWE in the mid-2000s and soon turned into one of the most popular Superstars on the main roster. He won several World titles and was a part of a string of iconic bouts, before leaving WWE in 2014 on a sour note. Punk hasn't wrestled ever since, and fans are steadily losing hope that they will ever get to see him wrestle a match again.
