WWE's CM Punk is the latest talking head to take a stab at Jets QB Tim Tebow. Last night, during an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Punk demonstrated his "Snow Angel" celebration. Before lying down on the floor and extending his arms and legs, Punk commented that his ritual was similar to another famous sports figure.
"I know (Jimmy is) a Tim Tebow fan, so this is kind of like Tebowing, except unlike Tebow, I actually am a champion" said a jovial Punk. The remark drew a roar of laughter from the crowd.
Punk is far from the first to throw a barb at Tebow, who despite no longer being a starter in the NFL is still one of the league's most talked about players.
Tebow has struggled during his time on the field, yet has managed to deliver instant-classic wins that result from improbable feats. Outspoken about his political and personal views, Tebow has managed to become one of the most recognizable football players in the world despite often failing at the actual act of quarterbacking.
Punk on the other hand has seen his career as an in-ring performer skyrocket in the past year. Launching himself from mid-card favorite to WWE Champion almost overnight, Punk is currently one of the longest tenured WWE Champions in history. Because Punk is also known for being outspoken about his personal beliefs, it is unlikely that his remark was anything more than a playful barb and not meant to truly offend the Jets player.
Punk also talked about jobs that he held before making it big in WWE and upcoming WWE events.
