"Relationship" Rumors / Unsubstantiated / Possibly Fabricated /Pointless Crap / Non-Facts

While it appears that they have some kind of friendship, neither has ever claimed that it was more than that. Also Matt Hardy's comment was that they were not in a relationship not that they had been but it is now over. Whoever wrote this article is greatly stretching the source to say something it doesn't. Also the sun is by no means a reliable source. It's a gossip site. TMZ is more reliable. I work for the AP. We view the sun as a punch line.

Shannon and Tracy are unsubstantiated rumors and should be removed from the article. Beth has claimed that Punk was joking with the interviewer. She claims that she and Punk never dated and she was already with Edge at the time of the alleged relationship. It has already been removed from her Wikipedia page.

Glad to see the Beth part removed, but I think you might have stopped halfway. Neither Punk nor Lita have ever confirmed to be more than friends. Same can be said for Matt Hardy.

Also, Punk has always denied dating women he has worked with. More editing is required. This is an article for verifiable information only.

Not sure why these changes have not been made yet. Even if all of these supposed relationships, other than AJ of course, were real, they do not merit a mention in the article as they are insignificant.

Under CM Punk's "Championships and Accomplishments section, can we add that he was the Second OVW Triple Crown champion. This information appears on the page Triple Crown page as a source, and other wrestlers such as Brent Albright and Cody Rhodes have their placement as an OVW Triple Crown Champion placed on their Championships and Accomplishments, therefore I perceive that it is relevant enough to list on CM Punk's page as well.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 02:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers...'

Either 'of all time' or 'of his generation'—the way Danielson / Rollins have that at the top of their pages. IGN, Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated, Complex, SportBible, ClutchPoints, and many more have all ranked him in the top 25 wrestlers of all time, just as a few examples.

ECW Champion

I am new to Wikipedia editing.

I just wanted to add in that section of when Punk beat John Morrison for his first ECW title, it was due to Morrison being suspended for failing a drug test and being part of the Signature Pharmacy investigation in 2007. Steven0805 (talk) 04:53, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
