CM Punk Twitter feuds with Chris Brown, Jim Ross hilariously chimes in

Following the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view last night (Sun., Feb. 19, 2012), the superstars from the event all either went back to their hotel room to rest or hit the road for Minneapolis for tonight's Raw show. Some of them were quick to jump on Twitter to pass the time and CM Punk, who retained his WWE championship at the show, is chief among them.
It's what he chose to tweet that was surprising ... and somewhat disappointing.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Punk tweeted to Chris Brown the following:
"I would like @ChrisBrown fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a #WrestleMania moment."
Now, I understand that Chris Brown is one of the most universally reviled folks in the entire entertainment industry for his proven track record of abusing women physically but Punk's use of words -- that he wants to curb stomp him -- is poor at best.
Yes, we're talking about a guy everyone hates for beating on women but we're also talking about a black man who can pull the race card and have plenty of ammunition with a comment like that. It was just reckless and unnecessary.
As it turned out, Brown responded to Punk's comment:
"Positivity regardless of how u feel! @CMpunk contact my assistant and I'll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!"
A few helpful Cagesiders also bring word that Brown tweeted and then deleted a comment saying, "@CMpunk needs more followers. He's such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure a women."
Well, that's one way to deal with it.
Again, I'm not defending Brown here, just saying Punk could have chosen a much better phrase to use to convey the fact that he wants to physically harm this man. Am I the only one who thinks of the movie American History X when curb stomping comes up?
To put a cap on all this, leave it to good old J.R., Jim Ross, to drop a funny comment on his blog when asked by a fan:
Q..."Will WWE capitalize on the 'Twitter War' between @CMPunk and singer Chris Brown? I'd suggest that would be a classic, Gorilla Monsoon reply of "HIGHLY UNLIKELY." Chris Brown couldn't be melted and poured on the WWE Champion plus I've never heard of Brown physically engaging any male.
And boom goes the dynamite.

I get that Punk is outspoken
and I get that everyone hates Chris Brown. I just don’t get why Punk had to say something like the unprovoked. It comes off as petty and immature.
Being petty and immature seems to fit in with Punk’s character as of late.

Why does using the term 'curb stomp' mean Brown can play the race card?

American History X
But mostly I think of super dragon when curbstomp comes up
Greatest lover ever during the day, Trainyard Sleeper at night.
I understand that a white supremacist doing a curb stomp on a black person happened in that movie,
but why does that suddenly mean any mention of the term ‘curb stomp’ from now on is automatically considered racist?
I mean, if the Ed Norton character instead just beat the hell out of that guy with punches to the dick, would threatening someone with punches to the dick now be considered racist too?
This is almost as bad as Geno playing the race card when Kofi put on a reindeer mask because ‘it symbolizes that a black man is there to carry around a white man’, or whatever the rationalization was.
It’s like people are just eager to label anything racist if it involves a black person so they can pat themselves on the back and pretend they did something noble, despite the fact there is no real logic behind their statement.

Curb stomping is widely regarding as a racial thing.
American History X just popularized it.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
I knew the nazis did it to Jews, political dissidents and some POWs but I didn't know it was a 'black' thing, for lack of a better term.
Besides, the term ‘curb stomp’ is so widespread now I don’t see how one can automatically go to the race card unless they are looking for it to begin with.
I seriously doubt Punk had any racial overtones in mind when he said it and I think the vast majority of people understand that.

I think of AHX, that stomp was graphic. Great movie though.
As for the race card, I think we all should be more worried about the gender card… women are getting treated worse with each passing month in PW.

Plus
it’s not me even saying it’s racist. It’s me simply saying it was a poor choice of words used by Punk because Brown could go after him as being a racist for saying it. Frankly, I’m surprised he didn’t.
It’s no different than Brown going at Punk with steroid comments simply because Punk is a pro wrestler.
I’m the last person to try to act noble, too, so knock it off.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
That's fair.

Dude, really, get off it. Nobody's playing any card but you.
Some people are starting to use the “race card” card to much.

From the above article:
“….but we’re also talking about a black man who can pull the race card and have plenty of ammunition with a comment like that.”

What are you babbling about Brown didn't play any race card.
Punk bought up the American History X reference not Brown. I don’t either one of them bought up race. You sure were quick too bring it up though.

I had heard that he tweeted something about Punk doing roids but didn't see it so I couldn't say anything on it.
What did he say exactly, do you know?
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Chris Brown needs to work on his english
needs more followers. He’s such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure a women.

....yeah...
Punk is DEFINITELY from Lockport, IL. Calling chicks douchebags….threatening to curbstomp people….
Yeah, he’s a South Side boy.
#HustleLoyaltyVagisil
Im half black
and honestly chris brown deserves everything that comes his way, even though I don’t think CM is racist (i have heard him refer to Kofi as his “Road Wife” so we can throw racism out)…. this clown makes us look bad so there is no defending him.
if chris brown was white or cm punk black would racism be an issue?
i dont think he would have….changed his comment if they were of the same colour.
now had cm punk said “Me curb stomping that BLACK turd would be a #WrestleMania moment” that would be racist because he’s bringing colour into it. but he didnt…
in all fairness chris brown is going to get lynched from various other ppl in the entertainment biz.
Racism isnt an issue now. Hawk heart just went kind of crazy.
Nobody involved claimed race Brown said Punk was on roids. And hawkeye went off about the black race card jews and nazi’s and shit.

Good to see Punk defend women!
You know, what with his telling people they have vaginas as an insult, calling women douchebags on the radio, and being buddies with notorious woman-beater Steve Austin.
What a phony coward…just like Chris Brown, as a matter of fact.
I was about to say the same thing regarding Austin,
but in response to J.R. chiming in.
With regards to Punk, its awesome that he is so in touch with pop culture that he has taken up a subject that is a few years old while in the same breath threatening to beat up/kill and R&B star. This was the breath of fresh air in wrestling I was looking for. Yep.
Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses. --The Knockout Mechanism.
So because a woman has all the symptoms of being a douchebag means you can't call them one because they are a woman
Just because a person is dead doesn’t make them any less of an asshole
Lemmy Kilmister. I also think saying a man has a vagina is a rather effectve insult that really isn’t that offensive.

I just think it's funny that oh-so-noble Punk did so on the radio.
What a REAL MAN.
And who insults a man by saying “actually, you’re a WOMAN.” Are you kidding me? Is it somehow a terrible thing to be a woman? Why is that an insult?
Having a vagina is bad according to CM Punk. Funny that his mind went there, but considering how he appears to feel about women, it isn’t surprising.

And honestly, I wouldn't even care that much except Punk is trying to act all protective of women by being "brave" and sending a Tweet to someone.
So not only is he a hypocrite, he’s a pathetic one who is trying to be self-righteous (and failing).

No, I have.
Why is emasculating a man by calling him a woman supposed to be an insult?
You see, the whole idea of emasculating a man by insinuating that a woman is “less than a man” is sexist. Therefore, it’s pretty clear that Punk is hypocritical in this instance. However, since this is more than an isolated incident, he’s a phony and consistent hypocrite to boot.
Because he's not a man that's how its emasculating
That’t the point of it.

Yeah, and the point is sexist.
The insult is predicated on a woman being less than a man. That’s what I’m saying, and you are admitting it yourself in a roundabout way.
Stop accting all self-righteous and crap. Everyone on this planet is a hypocrite, including you and me.

You are missing the point.
Watch it go over your head!
I’m not the dumbass who is tweeting people about how bad they are for disrespecting women while also disrespecting women.
Beyond that, I really don’t care.
So, did you miss the point because you’re a bit slow, or are you just angry and white-knighting your favorite pro wrestler?
Last time I checked there is a biological difference between male and female
and hitting woman is slightly worse than calling a woman a douchebag

Chris Brown's twitter has been back in the news lately
He won a Grammy and tweeted, "Hate all you want because I got a Grammy now. That’s the ultimate FUCK off!"
You know, ‘cause winning a Grammy means whatever horrible acts you’ve committed in the past are totally justified, right? I guess that was a week or so ago. So Punk’s somewhat late to jump on that one, but not years late.
I have never heard the expression “couldn’t be melted and poured on.” What does that even mean?
In reguards to JR's comment...
I believe you think he may be a racist as well…You know since he’s brown and made out of chocolate not just Chris Brown or brown like a turd that can be curbstomped by angry white men from Chicago like in that movie “American History X” according to CM Punk or I could be a racist for assuming all of this and taking peoples “texts” not words out of context like everyone else seems to do these days.
Some people want to act like Saints and some people like to play the troll but both of them characters can play the hater role and twist your TEXT around just because you’re famous and they’re NOT!

I'd care more if it were somebody other than Chris Brown.
Even if he donated all his money to sanitizing the water supply of Calcutta, he’d still be one of the worst pop acts of the decade, the Rihanna thing just put him in a lower category of likability than Justin Bieber.
Curb stomp has gone beyond it’s supposed racist undertones. I hear someone use “curb stomp” almost weekly on sports talk radio. Chris Brown is a piece of trash. If you don’t know all of what he did, go to MTV.com and read the police report. This is a non-story that has gotten lots of responses so kudo’s to Geno.
America History X was an awesome movie. Curb Stomp FTW!

You race baited Geno there were 220 comments on bleacher report about this topic, I did not see one that mentioned race, most just said Punk is God or a hypocrite for being friends with Austin or copying Macho man.

Wow.
Very silly comments by Punk there no need for them at all. I don’t know what’s going through his head. You don’t just call a guy out like that (no matter of much a twat they are) when you’re a role model to thousands of children. It’s out of storyline and it serves no other purpose other than to feed Punk’s inflated self-righteous ego as of late.
The racial connotations of what he said are pure speculation. You don’t need to get up on your high horse about Brown potentially “playing the race card.” Wow, that’s a hell of a statement. The curb stomp – notable scene in a movie – oh that movie is AHX – oh that move is racist ergo CM Punk is racist. Come on guys this was a stupid enough comment without dragging all of that extra baggage into it.
