Punk, beat Chris Brown up in the ring. No one else.

Punk, you are definitely what a MAN should be. First of all, if anyone is thinking Chris Brown is anything but a sorry ass lowlife, something is definitely wrong. Any man, and I use that term lightly, who puts his hands on a woman, needs to have their ass kicked. Seriously. The problem with how things are today is the fact that too many people idolize morons like Chris Brown and have the younger people thinking that the behavior that he has shown is, well, acceptable. Again, WRONG. The excuses were that he was angry, and he was in a heated argument with “his girlfriend”, blah, blah, blah. There is absolutely NO good excuse for a true man EVER putting his hands on a woman. CM Punk just happened to be someone who called him out on that fact. The fact that Chris Brown is, just as all the other woman beaters are in the world; simply a waste of space. PERIOD. I’m behind you 110% Punk.

Fall back off of Chris browns DICK!!!…Leave it alone..He’s doing great things in life despite all that negative shit people want to remember by..let him live and I advise you all to do the same..#TEAMBREEZY..

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. I am not a wrestling fan (not for any particular reason, It’s just not a scene I’ve had much of any exposure to); I just happened to come across this response to Chris Brown’s behavior and was so gratified and impressed with the wit, articulation and courage displayed here. As a young woman, I am constantly disappointed (and frightened, actually) by the dated and despicable attitude that still permeates popular culture that violence and disrespect towards women is somehow connected to manhood. The only way to properly dispose of this attitude is for men who are seen to emulate or embody the qualities we associate with manhood–particularly athletes and performers who have access to a stage and a microphone, and to whom younger people look for leadership–to speak out in defense of decency, reason, compassion, and integrity, as you have done. After seeing this, I watched some interviews you’ve given and was so impressed with your eloquence, intelligence, and sense. It is obvious that you respect women, not as objects, but as people. I am currently pregnant with a little boy, and (and I never thought I’d say this) if there are role models like you in the wrestling world, I’ll be encouraging him to become a fan. Thanks for your courage and common sense. It made me feel just a little bit better about bringing a new man into this world (also, it was a real pleasure to hear you school that motherfucker).
All the best, -Erica

Wow… that was a tough ‘retort’. It was almost like you had a script as it was delivered so well. No seriously, it was well said.
Honestly, though… even though I have to agree with your underlying passion and anger at Chris’ actions 3 years ago, I have to wonder if the continual degradations of his ‘manhood’ and personhood were necessary. Again, brother, I agree that woman-beaters deserve to be beat themselves…but I do reserve such punishment for those men who beat women and take advantage of them on a continual basis and don’t seem to think it’s wrong – like Ike Turner, for instance; not a man who f-ed up and fought his girlfriend one time (as Rihanna said, at least), declined to tell his side of the story in defense but INSTEAD chose to publicly own apologize for his actions so many times that everyone got tired of hearing him say ‘I’m sorry’. Not only that, but we never heard of him beating anyone else..not even a rumor from someone looking for a settlement check…and he had girlfriends after the incident, so there was definitely opportunity to beat more women.
You see, to me, boys F up. So do men. But MEN own up to it and commit to get better. They get help and follow through. That’s what I’ve seen Chris do. Okay, so he threw a chair at a window – hey, at least it wasn’t another woman. And considering the circumstances, i would have broke something too. Also, he grew up with a man who beat his mother…which he mentioned as part of why he was so disappointed in himself for displaying the same behavior. But that’s where he got it from…how he learned to address anger – to LASH OUT. Again, I’m not condoning his actions 3 years ago. I’m just wondering if the level of your response was necessary. It was three years ago, dude. He’s paid WAY more than ‘picking up trash’. He placed his career in jeopardy – which I’m sure music and singing is his dream (a deserved consequence, don’t get me wrong). His actions have sparked a never-ending stream of negative criticism that he is VERY aware of. He’s human, so it affects him (hence, GMA incident). So he gets it…He knows he f-ed up and has to deal with and hear about it everyday. And he will be reminded of it for quite some time (ie. Twitter, for instance). And you do understand that your video is yet another form or punishment, right? You don’t even have to whup his a$$. Your impeccably stated character-bashing word-whupping would make Obama cry if you were a Republican. I think that if he continues to NOT hit another woman since Rihanna that, someday, people really should get over it. Seriously. Save the a$$-whuppings for men who can’t seem to stop beating women…the skum that smile and laugh as they stand overtop bruised women who are too scared to get help…the skum that eventually kill their victims, like the one who killed my aunt; that’s the type of man YOU should call out and test his metal. Chris? Nah…he hasn’t even done it twice (we would know it…women would have come forward..even if was just for $$$).
I’ve been long winded. But at the end of the day, all I’m saying is MAYBE it was a little ‘strong’. Great message, tho. I’d be scared if I liked to beat women.

I just wanted to add, though I understand the reality of this having happened three years ago, the excuses for his behavior seem endless. I don’t know CM Punk, but am a fan, as are my children…one which is my teenage son. I definitely will say if my son EVER treated a woman like Chris did, or any other “woman beating man/boy,” whatever, he would not need to worry about having someone else beat his hind-end, because his mother, ME, and his father, A Marine, would take care of that first hand. Being someone who has been on the receiving end of an abusive relationship years before I was married, I can honestly say, I don’t see remorse in his eyes where I feel like he won’t do it again. No, none of us are not perfect by any means; however, you have to hold yourself to a much higher moral and ethical standard than that of a maggot. I don’t have sympathy for Chris, nor do I feel he would give a crap about that. The feeling is mutal on that front. Did he pay his dues? Hmmm, possibly, but I just foresee him in the news again someday with having done the same thing to someone else…if Rhianna is not stupid enough to go back to him. Working around and being schooled in Criminal Justice, I can say that there are tons of guys who are in jail for domestic violence who are “sorry” and “will never do it again,” who have “paid their dues,” only to be arrested and booked yet again for the same offense. It is a cycle that continues over and over until finally someone, in the most extreme cases, is killed. Sugar coating his violence with, “he’s paid his dues” is definitely something I find careless. But again, we all have our opinions, and I do agree with Erika and Jill’s post. Just like everything, this will soon be a distant memory, as soon as the media finds something else to get crazed about. Still love ya CM…thanks for being a great Anti-Bullying role model for the kids, as are all of the WWE members…God knows they need good role models these days.

I just wanted to thank you for this video. I have to confess I had never heard of you before and I don’t know anything about wrestling, but I learned tonight that you are a great man. Thank you so much for what you said to Chris Brown and the deep respect you have shown all women with your reply. You are an incredible role model for young men to follow. We need more like you in this world! Your response was intelligent, classy and direct. Bravo! Thank for showing the world what a real man is.
