WWE News: Miz Talks Babyface Turn, CM Punk Gets Props From NY Daily News

Punk was their "dude of the week"...
- Miz spoke with Westword.com recently and said the following about his character now being a babyface:
"I love the fact that I get to travel all over the world — I've gone everywhere all over America. I've been to China, Mexico, Europe and Australia. I've gotten to see the world through the WWE. Not only that, when I come out onto the stage, I get to hear the reaction of the crowd. Let me tell you something: You might not know this, but a few months ago, people were booing me. They were telling me I sucked and they hated me. But now, they're embracing me. It's a whole newfound glory and I'm loving every second of it."
- CM Punk was named the New York Daily News' "Dude of the Week" for his meeting with shooting victim Thomas Dotterer in Syracuse. The paper said the following about the meeting:
"For paying a surprise visit. The WWE star invited Tom Dotterer to a wrestling show Sunday, but the 77-year-old was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery related to a gunshot wound to the eye he suffered in January during a robbery at his liquor store. Dotterer couldn't make it to the WWE event so Punk (showing he's hardly one) came to the hospital before the show for some spirit lifting. A letter Dotterer wrote, read by his son during a fund-raiser, showed he was thinking of Punk. Dotterer asked to be forgiven by those he "sarcastically ripped apart or had opinionated exchanges with."
