Every argument in favor of Punk here have been what ifs or maybes. The dude was a jerk plain and simple. I don't see how he was that much of a jerk. He didn't curse him out or anything, just said "What do you" want and "Not today". I don't call that being a jerk. I just see that as someone having personal time with a friend that doesn't have the time or want to be messed with on his personal time. I was in a gas station in Baton Rouge after a WCW house show with a buddy and Brian Knobbs was right behind us in line. My buddy saw him and said "Hey, good match tonight man". Knobbs replied with "Hey F**K you, turn the F**K around, if I wanted to F**n talk to you I would have opened my F**N mouth. Shut the "f**k up and leave me the "F**K alone." Ironically, Knobbs was riding with Sting. My buddy said the same thing to Sting. who was pumping gas right next to us. Sting just said "Thanks man, tried my best" and shook our hand before getting in the car. Just seemed odd since they both seemed like polar opposites riding together. To me THAT is being a jerk, Punk just sternly said he wanted some privacy Who on earth would think Brian Knobbs had a good match?

Didn't get the guy get married yesterday? People who are about to get married in a few hours only want to talk to their close friends, family, and the minister. If he was that into the wedding he wouldnt be in front of a 7-11.

If he was that into the wedding he wouldnt be in front of a 7-11. Have you ever attended/been part of a wedding? The last one I was part of involved a trip to the grocery store so the bride could run in an buy tampons. There was also a stop at the liquor store for champagne. It's bizarre to me that you think that people don't need things just because it's their wedding day.

To be fair, he fought Bam Bam Bigelow in a hardcore match that was actually pretty entertaining. Most of it took place outside the ring and Knobbs was actually pretty good interacting with fans. Was a fun hardcore match, reminded me of the hardcore matches with Crash and Hardcore Holly.

I drew an exact straight line providing a link between one scenario and another in attempt to explain a possible reason for one them. You can't disregard it because you don't agree with it. Come one people, throw your crazy ass wedding day stories out there. Why I once met a fella in the bar I worked at that was there prior to his wedding. Now either he was lying about it being his wedding day or he had no business being anywhere not directly wedding related according to your view.

When I was a groomsmen in one wedding me and the groom spent most of the day playing video games like NHL and Fear 2 without once talking about the wedding that was about to occur in a few hours. If we weren't in a resort I'm sure we would of went to 7-11 to have some hot dogs, slurpees, and buy some stuff we need like double a batteries since we didn't pack any batteries and one controller had low batteries.

We don't know what CM Punk was going through that day, so leaving him to his own devices seems wise in general is the general summary. Remove the name CM Punk and replace it with any other persons and it stands the same, people shouldn't be bothered in their day to day lives if they don't want to be bothered regardless of how polite people may be.

Your last statement there is particularly dead on. Give you an example: going to college in a downtown busy city area, I was stopped a LOT by nice sounding people who were polite enough but wanted to either sell me something or convert me to a religion of their choice. Walking down the street I would see other people get stopped too. And do you know what everyone, myself included, did? They either made a very quick and brief reply, or kept walking and tried to ignore them. Regular people tend to ignore people trying to approach them when they're off doing something, from my experience.

Punk ought to be glad at least some people know who he is. He's not even worth such acknowledgement. He really isn't.

I'm sorry, after reading through this entire thread I have to say - anyone that tells Knobbs he had a good match deserves to be yelled at. People like that are part of the problem with pro wrestling. Just think, someone out there is telling Alberto Del Rio that he's entertaining. When will this madness end?!

I think Punk would respond well depending on how fans approach him. Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle is said to have a very stand offish, insulting, and dry sense of humor. But if you can deal with his style of humor and attitude he responds better to you. Maybe that's how Punk is? A lot of people probably can't handle his type of humor or attitude, so they sulk away instead of calling him out on it. A lot of that has been said about others. Ole Anderson comes to mind. As much grief as Ole gets for being a "bitter" old curmudgeon, a lot of people have come forth that if you handle him and his very rough sense of humor right, he eases up. Punk is a human being, first and foremost, like any of us. He has his bad moments and good moments. He takes his work very seriously, but he wasn't ready for some of what came with it, I think. A lot of that may come from him trying his best to keep to his roots and not go buy a gated mansion with security guards and what not. He wants to be the same guy he's always been and live the same way, but because of his proximity to them, he ends up with people camping out in front of his place and the like. That has to wear on you after a while. Also, I wonder how much Punk's personal relationships have come to define how he acts with others. His brother embezzled money from him, his sister (though he obviously loves her) has an addiction history and those can be very trying trust-wise, I believe his father did something to cause a falling out too (though I can't remember that one exactly). The people he should be closest to, he's learned he can not trust; I wonder if that has affected him outwardly to the point he just really doesn't like or trust too many people anymore.

Actually, not to side track this whole thread, but Knobbs (and Saggs) had a pretty decent number of good matches during their WCW tenure, up until about the time the NWO formed. Their stuff with Foley, Sullivan and Payne are classics.

Not saying that he was doing this but are you sure he wasn't just heeling it up? Was Knobbs a heel in the match? I could see him as the type of guy who's naturally an asshole to begin with but doubly so if he's playing a heel.

Also, a bit of personal insight - I work at a book store. It's not super-grueling work, but it's pretty hard in a lot of ways, especially thanks to parts of my body (knees are shot) breaking down gradually. It almost never fails that at least at one point in the week, I'll stop by a 7-11 or some other store and run into one of our customers or someone who recognizes my company from my shirt and they want to start talking books and finding something they've been looking for. Or they recognize me and treat me like an old friend even if I have no idea who the hell they are. I don't want to talk shop when I'm shopping or picking up a case of sodas. I don't want the cashier at 7-11 to try to get me to agree to search my store database for some rap CD he can't seem to find (true story on that one, just last week). I just want to buy my chips and drinks and get the hell home.
