CM Punk addresses Chris Jericho's controverisal comments: photos
The Second City Saint storms into the City of Brotherly Love to address Chris Jericho's controversial statements about his family.
"Right off the bat I want to let everybody know that Chris Jericho is not here. And that shows you exactly the kind of man Chris Jericho is."
"At the end of the day, him not being here is a gift, because Chris Jericho pissed me off."
"Last week Chris Jericho said in front of the entire world that my father is an alcoholic. And you know what, I'm not sure it was supposed to be some sort of a big secret ... but it's not Chris Jericho's story to tell."
"He wants to make light of a serious subject all beause he wants to get into my head ... he wants to somehow say that I'm predisposed to drink ... if there's a devil in my DNA, it's now your problem."
"I refuse to let my past dictate my future. There isn't a person on this planet that should let a past nightmare dictate their future dreams."
"Chris Jericho forgot to tell you the finish of that story ... my father has worked extremely hard and beat his demons. And here's the most important part: I am PROUD of my father!"
Chris Jericho appears, live via satellite, to address the champion: "Punk, listen to me, I didn't think it was right for me to be there tonight, I didn't want to face you in person, because I really want you to listen to what I have to say."
"Because all of the points you're making right now are right: I was out of line for what I said last week, and I'm sorry."
"I can promise you I'll never say anything about your father on the show again ... however, your sister? Well that's a whole 'nother ballgame, isn't it?"
"It's well-documented, your sister's problems with drugs," sneers the No. 1 Contender while Punk fumes in the ring.
"There's a pattern starting here, Punk: your father's an alcoholic, your sister's a drug addict, and you're going to end up just like them; it's inevitable."
