Conservative Site Rips CM Punk, Vince McMahon - Mitt Romney, Cena Divorce Note, WWE CFO, More

- Conservative website BreitBart.com has published an article about CM Punk's Twitter comments on Monday supporting Amendment 1 in North Carolina and subsequent tweets where he told a user to "kill yourself," and another to "drink bleach." The site called Punk "another Dan Savage-style eloquent spokesperson for the same-sex marriage cause."

The site did not mention Punk's apology later that evening, where he wrote, "I was pretty worked up today. The amendment 1 situation had me all wound up. I stand by my thoughts on gay marriage 100%. How I defended that stance was 100% wrong. I admit it. You can't stoop to others levels. Sometimes I fight fire with fire and it isn't ways the best way.

"To @ezeekay: I apologize. I don't want you to kill yourself. I want you to better yourself. Just as I want to better myself. I'll start by being the better man and once again, apologize for my harsh reaction to your opinion of homosexuals making you 'sick'... Sorry y'all. If I let anybody down, I apologize. I'll make it up to ya and move forward with a better understanding of others feelings.#pma"

- A number of reader passed along this note from The Rock's "Rock Concert" on RAW earlier this year. During the segment, Rock made a joke about John Cena getting a divorce from his wife, singing, "Rock saw Cena making out with Eve... Grabbin' on her thigh, tuggin' on her weave. Cena was havin' the time of his life... I guess he didn't tell her that he's got a wife! Let's rock. Everybody let's rock. Divorce lawyer's right up the block... But we're dancing because Cleveland Rocks!... I guess it slipped his mind... while he was slipping her the tongue!"

You can check out the video below. As noted earlier, Cena has filed for divorce from his high school sweetheart, Liz Huberdeau. The couple had been married for three years.
