Late 2010 - Present: 

The celebrity that I have selected is a professional wrestler from the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) named Phil Brooks or better known to fans around the world as CM Punk. He wrestled in the indie scene from the mid 90's to the early 00's and in 2006 made his WWE debut. CM Punk is definitely a person that I admire for a lot of reasons. The first being that he lives a straight edge lifestyle. Being straight edge basically means that you choose to not drink, not smoke and not do any drugs in your life. The reason he lives this way is because when he was younger his father was an alcoholic and both of his parents would smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. He grew up very poor and in a terrible household. After seeing all these things at a young age he never really understood the point in doing them and thought it was idiotic and none of that stuff ever appealed to him, so he chose not to go down the same road as his parents. I live my life the same way because I also think that smoking and drinking and doing drugs is idiotic and it doesn't appeal to me at all . Another reason why I admire him is because technique and skill-wise, CM Punk is one of the best wrestlers in the history of wrestling period. He is extremely talented in the ring, extremely talented when talking on the microphone and is just really good at what he does. He is someone that has really influenced me in my life because of his incredible talent and in my opinion, fantastic life choices. It's because of him that I decided to live the same lifestyle and I am sure that I am not the only one he has influenced to do so.
