I’m ok with him just retiring and never appearing in public again. I don’t really find replay value in his work like an all-time great. But if he signs with WWE or goes elsewhere I am happy with that too.
I want to stress that I am not a Punk mark. I didn’t really miss him after 2014. He’s a talented talker and he can work in the ring. There are problems with his credibility and some of his loftier opinions are just…wrong. In my opinion. But if he can lay off Goldberg, admit casual fans exist and accept that he’s a tier below the best ever, he’s like one of the best A-grade professionals out there. I wouldn’t wish on him to suffer fools though. I like that he went in there and didn’t just wrestle his own shit and keep quiet until he was irrelevant (like Bryan).
