There was an incident today at Madison Square Garden where security wouldn’t allow CM Punk in the venue. Apparently the security guard didn’t believe it was Punk. The WWE Champion Tweeted about the experience:

Sellout the Horizon on a Monday, refused entry to the Garden on Tuesday. My life is awesome.

That's hysterical! When something like that happens, you just have to laugh.

How did he not believe he was Punk? Was he wearing a suit or something?

  I don’t think he’s a suit wearer? He is radio distinguishable with his tattoos and all so something must have been up, hoodie maybe

    Actually, I'd love to see Punk in a suit. Anyone know if there's any video of him in a HOF audience in a suit?
    
    If not I'll have to watch closely next year.

      Saw a photo on twitter he was wearing a sweater and a hat. Elaborate disguise

      He wears a suit in Ring of Honor. Check out the event “Sign of Dishonor”.

It’s funny. The security guy probably didn’t believe him because he looks nothing like a pro wrestler lol

Punk should give that stupid security guard the Anaconda Vice.

the security guard needs glasses how can you not reconize CM Punk even if the guard is not a Wrestling Fan. I mean "Hello" Punk has his ID with his picture on it from the DMV (if he drives) did he think the ID was Fake.

the security guard must have looked like a fool when someone in WWE confermed it was CM Punk.

or maybe punk was carrying some beer with him
that would explain why didn't the security guy recognize Punk.
