CM Punk Reveals New WWE Project
WWE champion C.M. Punk has revealed WWE will be releasing a three-disc DVD on his career and life. "My three-disc DVD has been green-lit and I get to tell my story," Punk said on the latest "Art of Wrestling" podcast with Colt Cabana. "It's the old documentary slash life story slash follow-me-around-with-a-camera. I get to pick a bunch of matches to put on there and who I want to be interviewed. I was told I'm in charge. I've already made a lot of people angry with a lot of decisions I've already made. They told me what they wanted and I went and watched a couple of them (other WWE DVDs), then I immediately sent this ridiculously-long email about what I wanted." Included in his request is hand-selected music.
