Good to see he's doing alright for himself. Hopefully he'll get rested and healthy and maybe come back as a part-timer. In my opinion, he's validated himself for that position.

So glad I got to see him wrestle. Even if this is a delicious work, I hope he's happy. Usually retirements are only fake if there's set off by retirement matches. Only two wrestlers in the entire history of wrestling have lost retirement matches and actually stayed retired. Shawn Michaels and who else? Your boy, Kevin Sullivan.

I remember another superstar Chicago athlete that "retired" only to come back a couple years later... So what you're saying is CM Punk is gonna help the Looney Tunes from an alien takeover in a wrestling match where they steal the talents from the world's top wrestlers? I'd watch that.

It'd be worth it if only to see CM Punk go off on the Monstars so bad that they decrease to their normal size before they even get to have their big match.

Good that he's getting out while still healthy but I can't help but be saddened by the fact that one of my favourite wrestler's final appearance involved getting chokeslammed through a table by Kane.

Good for him I guess, what a shitty way to end his career though

Only two wrestlers in the entire history of wrestling have lost retirement matches and actually stayed retired. Shawn Michaels and who else? This is an odd situation, because a LOT of Punk fans seem to be ok with the idea of him not coming back. I feel the same way. Of course I would like to see him wrestle again but aside from a true WM main event and a match with Shawn Michaels or Kurt Angle, he has done everything I wanted to see in WWE. I just don't like him never getting a proper sendoff.WWE should at least promote Kane as being the guy that took out CM Punk for good. With how much of the same guys are overexposed, there's a point where you basically don't mind if they retired. They've pretty much exausted their characters. If Edge had retired a year before he did, I honestly wouldn't have minded. He pretty much did all he could do for over a decade, he peaked, and there's no shame in calling it a career. Batista's the same way, when he left the first time, he'd pretty much done everything and I was ready to see him go. Randy Orton is another, he could retire tomorrow and you know what? I'd be ok with that too if I was a huge RKO mark. 11 time World Champion. 10 year top spot on the top shows. Like Punk, like Edge, he's peaked. And there's no shame in going out when you know you're not going any further and you want to do something else with your life.

Good for him. I don't blame anyone who wants to get out of dis bizness while they're still relatively healthy. That said, Corporate Punk vs. Daniel Bryan would've been awesome.
and even though it won't be anytime soon, I don't think we've truly seen the last of CM Punk in WWE.

I can respect him for retiring at a reasonable age with his health in tact.
Now if we can only get the dickwads that chant CM Punk to shut up and move on

Kinda OT but I didn't wanna make a whole new Punk/AJ thread lol but I just randomly saw AJ walking around in Wicker Park. I didn't approach her or anything but it was pretty cool seeing her out and about like a regular person.

It's funny how all the wrestler deaths in the 2000s have changed fan's opinions on matters like this. Back in the day, the IWC would be livid over people walking out, myself included. It's very telling, in this post-Benoit landscape, how we treat a situation like this versus when Austin walked out or The Rock went to Hollywood. How f***ed up is it that it took, not only, a wrestler dying but him killing his wife and young child for the business and its fans to have a clear head about these kind of things. Wrestling is a beautiful, captivating art form, but it's kind of poisoness as hell.

He met with Vince and Triple H, and they allowed him to go. He's not some dick who decided not to show up for work.

I still think there's more to it. In the last real interview he did, he was talking about this mystery illness that couldn't be diagnosed and how he kept getting bloodwork done and this that and the other. He left a week later, and WWE has made zero attempt to slander him or make an angle out of his departure. I'm really beginning to wonder if he doesn't have some sort of disease and wanted to get out and enjoy his life. I hope I'm wrong, but you never know. I kind of think that Punk has/had a pretty serious injury but he didn't want to make a big ordeal about having to retire. Plus with him being straightedge he was probably in much more pain

Punk had a hell of a career, WWE and otherwise. I'd rather he go ahead and retire when he wants, especially since he's able, than stay around for years and years, getting horrible story after horrible story. People were already starting to complain that he'd become stale, so this is probably for the best. There's always really good DVD footage of his career.

He will be back in three years. He will win the Royal Rumble and then challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE title at Wrestlemania 33, while the crowd chants "we want Bo".

If he's not going to wrestle for WWE regularly anymore, then yeah, I can see his point.
