He put his money where his mouth is so far. My first idea of his refusing to want to sign and complaints about not feeling treated well enough was that he was just being burnt out, bitter and unrealistic. Now he cuts a promo (not that he hasn't done anything else that was good) and just launches this enormous buzz and angle, has everyone paying attention.
Not bad at all. He was pretty accurate when he said he was in touch with what fans actually like. Always gave the guy credit, but now he's just undeniably great. Especially when he's coming across as a diamond in the rough. Even in the attitude era that so many of us cling to, this would have stood out.
Point being, if he is gone, even if it's just for a while, I'm pretty sure there's going to be a guy whose goal in life/entire job damn near is to harass CM Punk about signing back with the WWE. He talked a lot about wanting to be the best, be the guy. You don't do that with your thumb up your ass in your living room, rich or not. I believe him when he says he wants it, and I hope after time off he'll just say fuck it and come back with a lot more bargaining power and do more great things.
I sure as fuck hope he ends up as a creative guy when he's too old to wrestle, on an off note. It'd be a nice thing to look forward to, whatever the climate then. And if we're really going to be super old men that still watch wrestling.
