"CM Punk" Talks WWE At WWJ

The biggest names in the WWE go to the mat Monday night at Joe Louis Arena for "Monday Night Raw!"  The tattoo-laden CM Punk will be there, to avenge losses at Wrestlemania 23, and one last year at the Joe which cost him his hair. 

But he's ready for revenge -- and he says he has a submission hold to back him up.

"Mine's actually called 'go to sleep,' Punk told WWJ's Scott Ryan. "I pick a guy up in a fireman's carry, throw him over my head, and knee him in the face on my way down," he said.

Punk, whose real name is Philip Brooks, prides himself on a clean way of living, which he says is important because he's idolized by kids. 

"I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I kick people in the face for a living. So, if that's something you're into -- if you like watching people get kicked in the face -- come see me. I'll probably be your favorite wrestler," he said.
