Reflections: If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?

by Matthew Bellomy

Created on: January 30, 2009

To be fully honest, There a many people that i wouldn't mind spending an hour or so with. Yet, if I were to choolse just one person, it would be C.M. Punk of WWE fame. I have been a major fan of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for years now, and the way that he demonstrates his craft in the WWE is completely uncanny!

Before I get into the questions that I would ask him, I want to get into why I chose him above all else with a biography:

His real name is Paul Brooks. He grew up on the north-end of Chicago in poverty; and since he was a child, he grew up learing how to fight in multiple forms of martial arts (his primary form being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and a fan of what was once known as the WWF. His main look on life is that of straight edge attitude, meaning no synthetic or organic drugs, no alcohol, just performing his skills in various forms (for Mr. Brooks, it is professional wrestling). In the 2 1/2 he has been in the WWE, he has been ECW Champion, world tag team champion, world heavyweight champion, and is currently Intercontinental champion.

Alright, now here are some of the questions I would ask CM Punk:

How long have you been a master of Jiu Jitsu?

I bet there were a lot of drug deals on the streets; how did you stray away from that?

What were all the feelings that went through your body as you won the world heavyweight championship from Edge?

If you could meet only one person, alive, dead, or fictional, who would it be?

what was it like when you got your Slammy award for the OH MY GOD moment?

Would you ever attempt to step into a JCW ring? And would you be on the Juggalo's side (me being a juggalo)?

What was the streets of Chicago like, and was it hard to survive for you?

What would happen if you had a carreer-threatening injury? Do you have something to fall back upon?

then, I would play some videogames with him, have small time chit chat with him, then we woulod be on our way!

Now, I could have said more common WWE Superstars like John Cena, Randy Orton, or Even the Undertaker, but my reason for choosing CM Punk is that his storyline is based on real life things and experiences. Hell, Icould have done what everybody else said when asked this question in which I am answering like, my dead mother, albert einstein, etc., etc., But for once, I whought of something no one else would think about.

In closing, I would love to thank my awesome fiance, Alicia, for encouraging me to write, even if it is trvial blabberings about a professional wrestler in which most do not think about.

Have a great night, and please rate!
