CM Punk Comments On Marathon Autograph Session Ahead Of All In

A CM Punk autograph signing was set up by Pro Wrestling Tees yesterday in Chicago. While Punk himself won’t be appearing at All In, many feel the influence Punk has had on the wrestling of today will be evident in the event itself. The former MMA fighter had the following to say about the experience:

I don't have the words to properly express how thankful I am to have seen, spent a small amount of time with, and listened to some moving stories from some great people today. Appreciate you all. Thanks for the smiles. #fans #friends #strangers #samekids
