Offering CM Punk a Drink: A Review

Maybe he’s thirsty.

CM Punk looks bemused as a fan offers him a drink.

CM Punk went into the crowd before taking up headphones at AEW Rampage last night. While in the front row, a dude offered him a sip of his rum and Coke or Jack and Coke, whatever kinda watered-down, overpriced mixed beverage one can drink at an arena. It was probably the nicest CM Punk has ever been to a fan he’s definitely mad at.

Offering CM Punk a drink.

In fairness, he’s wearing a t-shirt that hides the “Straight Edge” stummy tattoo.

Pros

  • It’s a nice gesture. Arena drinks are expensive!
  • Nobody has claimed that it looks like a Renaissance painting yet, which is good because that’s what usually happens when there’s a lot of people standing around making faces.
  • Everyone’s faces are really good.
  • Maybe the guy mistook CM Punk for noted crowd wandering beer drinker The Sandman.
  • Maybe the guy assumed that Punk’s public life, much of which involved espousing his straight edge lifestyle, was in fact kayfabe, and he was just testing them.
  • Everyone played it off like it was really fun! Which it kinda was!

Cons

  • Backwash.
  • What’s he supposed to do, sip it through the tiny straw?
  • Looks like there’s no Pepsi in that cup whatsoever.
