>>11436290It’s not really that. He didn’t get it as a response to anything in his life. He got it because the guy from Minor Threat (who “invented” Straight Edge or at least named it) got a Coca Cola tattoo. They’ve got a bunch of tattoos so it’s just an easy answer when people back then inevitably ask annoying questions about tattoos. Oh I like this product so I got it.
Punk also has another minor threat tattoo, the one that says Out of Step. He is not an original guy. The tattoo’s are part of the gimmick anyway. Punk was never involved or supported by the Punk/Hardcore scene, everyone knew he was a poser. He’s a mall/pop punk kid at best. Once he got wrestling famous he bought some punk friends like Lars from Rancid (who scams money from him)
My money would be he’s not even straight edge. He’s a dork from the suburbs who listened to suburban radio.
Now CM Venom? That guy is punk as fuck.
