"And they put me on that plane, because I'm a legend"

CM Punk: "So I'm sittin' in Nashville, Tennessee; it's a Wednesday Night, I wrestle on PPV--maybe you heard of it, NWA:TNA? Around Thursday, around 5:59 at night, I fly to Chicago. From Chicago I fly to Heathrow. From Heathrow I fly to Germany. This is the absolute worst trip of my entire life. And I travel a lot. See, I've been all over the world. I've been in Puerto Rico, I've been in Japan, I've been in Mexico, I wrestled in South Africa, I've wrestled in Asia, I've wrestled from the tip of Antarctica down to the antarc--I've been everywhere!

My plane coming to Chicago is late; I gotta hustle half way across the airport. I got people laughing at me because a 70-year old man, who is on the same flight as me, made it to the flight to Heathrow first. So I get to Heathrow and the lady at the BMI counter tells me to stand in line at the Lufthansa counter, because that's who handles the German flights. Well, I stood in line for 45 minutes and had to listen to all these little Irish pipsqueaks complain that something is wrong with their passport. And when I finally get up there, I finally get to the counter, my plane is leaving in 9 minutes and they tell me, I can't get on it.

You know what I did? You know what I did because I'm CM Punk? Because I'm drug-free and alcohol-free? I took my bags; I even picked up a little old lady, who needed the lift. And I ran to my gate, and I got there in time. And they put me on that plane, because I'm a legend. I'm a superstar. And I get to Germany. And I get here, I have put up with the same crap that I put up with America. Chris Hero.

Chris Hero, you beat me one time. And I had a 114-degree temperature and the gout. This is no laughing matter. In Germany you made a name for yourself, this is your home. This is the first time I'm here. And what's CM Punk known for doing? Beating the odds. Today, 60-minute Iron Man match, I'm gonna pin you 67 times. And it still won't matter. No matter how many times you pin me, even if you do, if I let you, I am still better than you. Because I am drug-free, I am alcohol-free, and I am Straight Edge. And I'm better than you."
