WWE Champion CM Punk recently posted on Twitter that he would be Grand Marshal for the 2012 Chicago Thanksgiving Day parade. He also indicated that he booked this appearance on his own, without the promotion or consent of the WWE, stating "this is what happens when you go over everyone's head to hustle and acquire your own outside appearances."
I will also be the Grand Marshall in the Chicago turkey day parade. Also not announced or promoted by "my" company. Shocking.
