I like CM Punk but fuck CM Punk. Wasn't he champion for like over a year? Fuck is he mad for?
Like I said, if he's beat up and just can't go, then he should have went to Vince and said that (assuming he didn't or hasn't). But if he's mad about how he's been used, fuck him.
Yeah, he should have ended the Streak and before he put over Brock, he should have had it understood somewhere he was going to get that back but for fuck's sake, he beat the Shield and him and Bryan beat the Wyatts and he was almost definitely going to beat HHH at Mania.
basically in a nutshell, punk felt like past stars like rock, batista...etc could take all the time off from wrestling, come back and just be thrown into the title picture, while wrestlers like himself performed all the time in hundreds of arenas around the world and some didn't even get a push...also he wanted to be the main guy in wwe, but i think he was 2nd, but we all know who wwe poster boy is....
I could be wrong but i think that's what it was
All of that is true but the one thing he cannot complain about is not getting pushed.
And there is nothing wrong with being the number 2 guy. Randy Savage ate pretty well as Hogan's number two.
just depends, the Yes Movement is a money maker. He get the title at Mania...that's all over. The power is in keeping him down.
At this point, fuck Punk. He was top dog for a minute, he's virtually the face of WWE. He got fucked over in the Rumble, but the silence really leaves his absence a big question mark. It could still be a work, he's completely silent on the matter.
I disagree because then you should never put the title on him.
Of course they could do it like that but it would be a huge mistake. They will never get this moment back. They've kept him down since SummerSlam. There is no bigger moment than WM in front of a football stadium full of people doing the "Yes!" chant.
It won't be the same at Extreme Rules or whatever ppvs they have in the spring.
The face has to win eventually and this is the best time. He doesn't have to keep the title too long (drop it in May to Batista and win it back at SummerSlam) but he has to win it.
Punk would have gotten to fight HHH, again if he stayed. He would not have gotten this huge push and he would not have gotten the title. His last night with the company the fans were clamoring for Daniel Bryan in the Rumble to win not Punk. And with his contract ending in July they weren't going to put the belt on him anyway.
If he was to be in the main event at Mania last year would have been the year. His feud with The Rock was better than Cena's. And he basically spent the whole year jobbing in every PPV even though he is more universally liked by fans than the golden boy, John Cena. Giving up the slot to Rock is 1 thing, Batista is a whole different story though.
Also it's rumored that he was hurting and also wondering about the pay for the PPVs since talent was usually given bonuses based on the buyrates which is no longer viable.

And this was the year he got that back. First the Shield, then Kane and then HHH.
guess AJ and Tamina mustve seen last thursday's Impact


Somebody on that creative team was kicking themselves that TNA pulled the trigger on that first.
