CM Punk is one of the most controversial WWE Superstars in history, and doesn't have many friends in the business. He is best known for his 434-day WWE title reign, and the 'Pipebomb' promo that kicked off 'The Summer of Punk' in 2011. The former WWE Champion also got a DVD of his own back in the day, dubbed 'CM Punk: Best In The World', in which WWE gave the fans a closer look at his career as a wrestler.

CM Punk hasn't wrestled in WWE or anywhere else in seven years

At one point in the documentary, former WWE Superstar Joey Mercury made a revelation that's bound to turn you into a fan of Punk, if you aren't already. Hard times had fallen on Mercury, following his WWE release in 2007. Punk sensed the same and went out of his way to help the fellow wrestler. Punk wrote a six-figure check to buy Mercury's house, which was about to undergo foreclosure as Mecury was battling substance issues. CM Punk has his fair share of real-life rivals in the wrestling business who have criticized him on many occasions, but one can't discount the fact that he did the unthinkable and provided major financial help to a fellow wrestler during a tough time.
