CM Punk, cutting a promo on a fan at Monday's RAW live event in Adelaide, Australia:
"You homo! I guess you're right, that's why I'm picking on you two jerks right now. You have a vagina. You have a vagina. Nice faux hawk, you homo! Yeah, I want you to come over the rail so I can twist you and turn you inside out."
TMZ picked up on the story and posted the video on their website. WWE is working with GLAAD and have produced a series of anti-bullying commercials after homophobic comments made by Michael Cole and John Cena.
A rep for WWE said:
"WWE does not condone this type of language or bias and we reinforce that with our talent who are independent contractors."
Afterwards, CM Punk Posted:
CM Punk just tweeted the following:
"I'm glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bullshit, me included. What I said was bullshit.
...I'm embarrassed. I own up to being a total douche in this situation and I offer a sincere apology to anybody I hurt with careless words."
ESPN's Colin Cowherd played CM Punk's promo from RAW last week on his radio show today, and said he was the best rant he ever heard in wrestling. He then praised CM Punk. Cowherd in the past has referred to wrestling fans as "booger eaters".
