CM Punk has only recently taken to Twitter, but his kayfabe presence has been felt through the official Straight Edge Society feed. I don't know who runs it - it's not Luke Gallows (he has one of his own) nor is it Joey Mercury (the account predates his return to the company). Most likely, it's someone within the company being paid to Tweet, which is an awesome job, by the way.
EDIT: I got clarification from the SES account people themselves saying that they're not under the WWE umbrella but have the support of the WWE Universe, which is still pretty cool.
Anyway, this feed can be annoying at times, but it has its merit, much in the same way that BDK Ring Announcer Jakob Hammermeir's Twitter is awesome - it's fun for fan interaction by way of antagonization and trolling. Still, whoever's behind it comes out with a nice burn every once in awhile. Today, they may have had the most epic burn in the history of pro wrestling's involvement in Twitter. Check this Tweet out:
Today is the birthday of the 'Charismatic Enabler.' I'm sure he will spend the day drinking alcohol & getting high on funny cigarettes. #SESIf you don't know, the "Charismatic Enabler" is the nickname given by Punk to Jeff Hardy last year during their hallmark feud. Hardy has taken his act to TNA, and I'm not the only one who's noticed his on-screen condition not look as clean and sober as it was when he was last in the WWE. Of course, there was that whole arrest for possession of a cache of drugs that would make Sean Waltman green with envy.
I'm sure part of it was a kayfabe jab, but honestly, there's got to be so much truth to that Tweet that it's not even funny. Unless Hardy is still clean and sober but just sleeping in and coming to the Impact Zone every taping tired and worn out. Somehow, I'm not counting on that being truth.
