Seriously, for all intents and purposes, the guy bailed. I don't see the purpose of using his name as a "Take That" chant against the company when they more or less kept the show going without him.

I've always taken the chant as the fans letting WWE know that they're pissed at them for making Punk want to leave.

I'd quite like Take That chants.
A chorus of Jason Orange clapclap clapclapclap one match, Robbie Williams the next.

I love Punk and loved Steph playing off it without mentioning him.

They should debut a talentless hoss called CM Runk. Then when the fans chant it he can come out smiling and acting like everyone wants to see him.

Wouldn't put it against them next time they are in Chicago starting to play "Cult of Personality" getting the crowd all excited only for Hornswoggle to come out in Punk gear. I wont lie.. I'd laugh

Really disappointed at the lack of CM Punkdow. But given the brilliance of Damien Mizdow, I'll take the hit.

I've always taken the chant as the fans letting WWE know that they're pissed at them for making Punk want to leave. A year long WWE Title reign, a match against Undertaker at WrestleMania, an extended program with his best friend (Heyman), and a proposed match at WrestleMania against Triple H. Oh, thank you Saint Phillip for enduring all that hardship. I rarely defend WWE in anything, but it is what it is. Be mad at Punk for splitting in the most anticlimactic way possible, not at the company glad to have him draw money for them.

The fans chant CM Punk because he's the only wrestler in the world today that WWE can't have at their leisure. Macho and Warrior are gone. Bruno, Bret, and even Sting are on call. Brock Lesnar's the friggin' Heavyweight Champion. The Rock shows up when he's got time and Steve Austin has shown willingness to come by once in awhile. Hogan's on speed dial. Even guys like Jake the Snake and Scott Hall have made appearances over the last year or so.
But CM Punk? There's nothing WWE can say or do to get him back until he's good and ready.
It's the PERFECT insult to throw at the people in "power".
It's a s***** thing to chant when AJ (one of the few female wrestlers to actually attract fans based on their wrestling work) is performing, though.

I'd laugh They should have had Bad News Barrett do it when they did Chicago for first time since Punk left. HEAT.

I wouldn't quite phrase it like that, but I agree with what you're generally saying. The guy left on his own, and it's closing in on a year. It's time to stop the chants.

I'm constantly amazed about the intelligence of the crowds that they all continue to remember this former WWE star. They are quite smart aren't they?

I was surprised Steph acknowledged it last nite. Steph seems to acknowledge it, and successfully shut it down quite often, and I enjoy that she stands her ground well to the chant. Back during the Daniel Bryan drops the title or Bree Quits storyline, Steph shut the chant down by saying something like "Cheering for a quiter, just like Bree Bella is about to be, I see," and then just kept right on cutting her promo. I feel like they particularly expect it in Chicago, but she's always prepared to have a comeback to it.
