Dueling Diary: CM Punk and Chris Jericho, Finale

CM Punk heads towards WrestleMania XXVIII?CHAMPION OF MIAMI,? 10:33 a.m.
If you ask Punk what ?CM? stands for today, it?s ?Champion of Miami.? The Voice of the Voiceless is chomping down the earthy blend of green ?chuice? as he sits on a bus that?s bound for Sun Life Stadium. It?s WrestleMania Sunday, which explains why the WWE Champion is, unexpectedly, fixed in the front seat of a lengthy charter bus to transport him and his fellow Superstars to the site of The Show of Shows.

?I don?t really feel the pressures or magnitude of WrestleMania until the day of,? the champion states from underneath his ?1969? Chicago Cubs cap. ?I?m definitely feeling it now. We?re maybe eight hours away from kicking off the show. We?re going to blow off a bunch of fireworks and then it?s really on.?

Punk seems like the type to be toward the rear of the coach (and he probably is), but his eagerness for this day plants him as close to the grand stage as possible. He?s able to get through three songs on his iPod ? played at high, speaker-like volume on his neck wrapped headphones ? until the very last Superstar climbs aboard: Mick Foley. It?s off to the races, or rather, the longest, hardest, greatest race of the year.

THE LAST ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA, 10:58 a.m.
The vessel transporting WWE?s ring warriors pulls away from the WrestleMania hotel en route to Sun Life Stadium miles away. Up ahead of the bus is a police escort blocking traffic for the first of several WWE charter buses. Punk?s skull is wrapped with his analog headphones pumping a rabid metal melody while he snaps pics of the motorcycle mounted policemen up ahead and dreams up an alternate reality for the scenario.

?One of my favorite things about WrestleMania is the police escort,? Punk explains. ?I kind of look at it a little different than everyone else, I?m sure. I look at it like we?re a bus full of convicts, maybe getting carted off to death row. Some of are going to live, some of us aren?t.?

Within a few moments, The Second City Savior has a visual on the site of his all-important performance that draws nearer. He turns his head to size up the massive beacon-like stadium before the bus makes a right turn to deliver the WWE Champion to his battleground.
