There was no need to talk people down on his way out though.

Seems some people aren't so much "butt-hurt" about losing Punk; though there is certainly a contingent of fans that feel betrayed, like he owed them something.

But there's definitely a section of the wider wrestling fanbase that have spat their proverbial dummy out because his leaving - and subsequent shitting on the company - is a ringing indictment on the business as a whole; a business that they love.

I'm not pointing the finger at you, of course.

I think in Punk's position - or at least the way he perceived matters - where he had nobody backing him, where members of management didn't value him, he almost had to have that chip on his shoulder; he had to believe in himself when nobody else did. Let's face it; as soon as they loosened the leash on him his stock sky-rocketed, he was one of the most valuable full time guys on the roster. I don't think you can dispute that.
