CM Punk: "Right of the bat I want to let everybody know that Chris Jericho is not here tonight. It goes to show you exactly the kind of man Chris Jericho is. But at the end of the day, him not being here, it's a gift. Because Chris Jericho pissed me off. Last week Chris Jericho in front of the entire world, he said that my father... [er stockt; die Fans skandieren seinen Namen] in front of the world Chris Jericho that my father is an alcoholic! Hey, and you know what? I'm not sure it was supposed to be some sort of big secret. Certainly those close to me know it to be true. But it's not Chris Jericho's story to tell. It's none of Chris Jericho's business. And it's not so much that he said it or how he said it, but the fact that he said it in front of the entire world.

And here I am, standing in front of a live audience, millions of people watching around the world. And I am basically on frontstreet under a microscope. I'm naked for the whole world to see. I look out here and I see everybody. I see little kids. I see grown ups. Parents, brothers, sisters. Not a person in this building right now or sitting at home that hasn't been somehow negatively infected by the disease of alcoholism. I'm not gonna let Chris Jericho's words swindle some little kid in thinking just because life dealt him a crap hand that he can't somehow shake it off and still be destined for greatness.

He wants to make light of a serious subject? All because he wants to get in my head and under my skin for some sort of advantage at WrestleMania. Any Chris Jericho line is to play headgames. And he wants to somehow now say that I'm predisposed to drink?! That it's in my genes that I crave alcohol?! That just goes to show Chris Jericho doesn't know me at all. And it backfired, Chris! It's backfired, because if there's a devil in my DNA it's now your problem. And at WrestleMania, if there's a monster inside me, I'm gonna let that monster out. I refuse to let my past dictate my future. There isn't a person on this planet that should let a past nightmare dictate or cloud their future dreams!

Chris Jericho forgot to tell you the finish of that story. And that's my father has worked extremly hard, just like dozens and millions of other people around the world. And he has overcome his addictions. He has beat his demons! He doesn't want you to know the facts. And here's the most important part: I am proud of my father! I am proud of my father and I am proud of the fact that I am straight edge. Because it's real and it comes from the heart. And it's true. And it's tattooed on my skin for a reason. Because it's what I believe. I'm proud of my father. I'm proud of being straight edge. And I'm proud of my father and all the obstacles he has overcome.

And Chris Jericho, that's exactly what you are to me. You're an obstacle. And now, you can go around an obstacle. You can jump over an obstacle. Or I can be like you and dig a hole. I can crawl under that obstacle. But I'm here to let you know that right now at WrestleMania you, Chris Jericho, are my obstacle. And I'm going straight through you to prove once and for all that I am the best in the world!" [er schleudert das Mikro auf die Matte und sein Theme erklingt, als Jericho plötzlich "live via satellite" auf dem TitanTron zu sehen ist]

Chris Jericho: "Punk! Punk! Punk! Punk, listen to me! I want you to listen to me, Punk. Listen to me. I didn't think it was right for me to be there tonight. I didn't want to face you in person because I want you to really listen to what I have to say. I want you to really hear this. Because all the points you've been making right now are right. I was out of line for what I said last week and I'm sorry. And this is Chris talking to you right now. There is no Jericho here, no fancy jacketts or bravado. It's me and I was out of line. I crossed your territory. I had no right to cross into. It was none of my business. Like you said, I should have never brought it up and I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I hope you accept my apology. And I can promise you I'll never say anything about your father on this show again. I'm giving you my word on that.

However, your sister... that's a whole other ball game, isn't it? Come on, Punk, I found out all about your sister's substance abuse problems."

CM Punk: "Chris, shut up! What are you talking about?"

Chris Jericho: "Come on, it's well documented. Your sister has problems with drugs. And as anybody knows drug addicts will do whatever they can to score their fix. Anything! And I'm sure you're still proud of her. I'm sure you still love her, just like you claim you're proud of your father, and you still love your father, but c'mon, seriously? There's a pattern that's starting here, Punk. Your father is an alcoholic. Your sister is a drug addict. And you're going to end up just like 'em. It's inevitable. Punk, you're going to drink. It's your destiny. And it's a good news, bad news situation, Punk. Because the good news is, substance abuse and alcohol can be overcome. Can. Bad news? When I beat you at WrestleMania and become the new WWE Champion, that's something you will never overcome. Ever!"

CM Punk: "JERICHO, YOU'RE BULLSHIT! You're bullshit! And that's exactly what I'm gonna beat out of you!
