Seeing as I've been edge now for 9 years and it's been probably the most important factor in my life since becoming, I've always cringed when seeing little kids X'ing up their fists, this includes people who've never heard of edge before Punk entered WWE or have never had an affiliation with the hardcore scene.
Does anyone else feel CM Punk kind of sold out his beliefs by agreeing to make an angle out of it?
Anyone who knows about hardcore and straight edge will realise it's a movement that doesn't look to kindly on being raped by mainstream entertainment of financial purposes.
"Hi, I'm TrentDRUGFREE. I'm gonna use a thread about CM Punk as a disguise to let the posters of TPWW.net that I live what I consider to be a straight edge lifestyle. You may have already guessed because I have 'DRUGFREE' in capital letters in my username but it doesn't mention alcohol and TrentDRUGFREEANDDRINKFREE didn't quite have the same ring to it."
