CM Punk Talks Character, Wrestling Austin and The Rock

WWE Champion CM Punk was interviewed by Machinima Sports and discussed a number of topics. Hightlights below... Who from the Attitude Era helped develop his character: Nobody, I've been CM Punk since I was 15 years old... I was nicknamed Punk when I was a little kid, 'cause I was a little punk into the Ramones, listening to the Clash, listening to punk rock music. I was the first guy to punch someone in the face and not ask questions. So that's who CM Punk is and that's where it came from... But a guy who I really liked and admired from the Attitude Era was 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. If he will wrestle Austin: It's not up to me. I'll fight Muhammad Ali, I'll fight Rin Tin Tin, I'll fight anybody. Steve Austin knows that. He's got a bum wheel, he said? We'll see about next year, see what's hurt or injured or what else the excuse will be come next year. I'm not a hard guy to find, I'm the WWE Champion. Facing The Rock at the Royal Rumble:
