I really don't think Punk is done. He'll probably be back either towards the end of the year or the beginning of next year. If this was retirement related, no way would he have just walked out without addressing the fans that helped make him what he was. So, any retirement idea is out. I don't think it's a work either, but you never know. I suppose that he'll take time away from wrestling, maintain minor training to keep in shape, but I really don't think he'll be wrestling for any other company. He may make guest appearances or something, but wrestling no. I'm thinking a lot of this extends from last year when he was suppose to have several months off to rest but was pretty much forced back into things after only a month. Punk always seemed dead straight on needing a chance to unwind. I really believe the tiresome schedule and the recent Rumble fiasco contributed to him just exploding. But I really feel he'll be back at some point down the road. It just sucks that it won't be before Mania.

I really don't want a Wrestlemania 30 without CM Punk.

I was wondering why Punk didn't run out in the opening of Raw. John Cena ran out and I thought it should of been Punk. Maybe it was always suppossed to be Cena but I thought that was odd since he's more at odds with the Authority with Kane in there

Shit. Are they trying to kill interest in the WWE network? Shooting themselves in the foot by not keeping Punk and the fans happy.

I'm sorry, I'm not really seeing the correlation between CM Punk and interest in the WWE Network.

I kind of marked out when I saw that he quit. But also, after watching his interview with Ariel Helwani and hearing more and more of his increasing frustrations I was not all that surprised, but more intrigued. I hope this wakes them up just a bit. The WWE will be fine without punk, but he's a major player and he flat out told them to fuck themselves here.

No it is not.
Anyway, this isn't Punk, but this frickin' guy:

Why the hell should they drop trou and take it every time Punk throws a fit that he's not the top shit in the company? If they bend over and give him everything he wants now it's just going to be back to the same point in a few months.

So are we really not going to discuss this correlation? Or are you realizing now that there isn't one?

If this is indeed true, then the only silver lining in this dark, dark cloud is that Bryan's place on the card goes up one notch. Same for Sheamus.

TBQH, I was thinking about it more, and I logged on to post this pretty much:
Quote:
Having Brock come and say "oh im the number one contender" and THEN have Batista show up on Raw after 4 years, then have him walk in at the end of the Rumble and win it, to main event against Orton, when you have a guy like Daniel Bryan who is so white hot right now...that's what I'm not getting. I get the business part of everything, but Batista vs Orton for the main event of Mania is not major for Wrestlemania XXX, and if Punk is fed up with the direction of creative as well as the booking of some of the part time guys, I completely understand. |

You can't have the inmates running the asylum. It'd turn into HBK/Bret all over again. You can't run a business like that.

I was a wrestling fan before I knew who CM Punk was. I'm still a fan now. Sucks to see him go, but I'm still getting the Network.
PROGNOSIS: No correlation. |

I was going to start doing Yes version of different theme songs. Maybe later I think I might have a cold or something.
