From WNW: "We’re told Vince is not giving up and wants Punk on the Wrestlemania XXX lineup. WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee, who is Punk’s real-life girlfriend, is seen as the company’s only line of communication to him at this time." That's gotta be a fun spot for her to be in.

This week is like Christmas for the NEWZ writers, I wonder what could possibly come next. Punk just couldn't deal with the stress of his best friend Kofi turning on him in the Rumble and had to get away from it all. CM PUNK IS A RACIST!!!11!2@! CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE

This is the worst week ever. Nah, Punk has to kill his estranged family for that to be true. Well, thank god AJ doesn't have a child.

And really Vince, this all could have been avoided if you listened to me last summer.

So, after making about 20 jokes, I have a question:
Based on the limited amount of information we have access to, it seems like this is different from the Austin situation of several years ago. Austin just didn't show up when things weren't going how he liked. Punk showed up, had a discussion, and left, correct? It's possible that no bridges have been burned yet.
It seems like we can assume that there's plenty of wiggle room for them to come to an agreement in a couple of weeks, then. As long as nobody does anything stupid that would make either party lose too much face.

The thought of Vince sitting in his office at 4 a.m. with one of those huge old school cell phones from the 90s, banging away at buttons trying to figure out why Punk isn't responding to his text messages is hilarious.

Its like that Simpsons episode. I'm sure she has to remind him several times a day that Punk's not not talking to her.

I don't think this is about money, I don't even think Punk wants a title run, I just think he has no interest in the HHH program. So where is the negotiation?

Ryan Reeves @ryback22 I call dibs on GTS, Pepsi Plunge and running knee in corner. I am sure Sheamus will take the rest. Based Ryback returns!

He uses "Friends Forever" by Zack Attack as a special ringtone only for Punk

I don't know why, but I have the gut feeling that Punk will return in a few weeks. Especially after reading that Vince wants him at Mania. He will rest up, calm down and think about all this, while WWE comes up with a better plan for him for WrestleMania in order to get him back. Cooler heads will prevail. Punk returns after the Chamber PPV (maybe on the RAW after the PPV when the network launches) and is back on the Road to WrestleMania.
Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but IMO not totally unrealistic.

We all know the real reason he quit is because he doesn't want to miss the premier of Game of Thrones season 4 because of work

I don't know if this has been mentioned during the last 50 pages and I'm too tired right now to search. But I have to wonder if he looked at what happened with Cena vs Orton and though to himself "I don't wanna end up like them."

As long as nobody does anything stupid that would make either party lose too much face. Well, sort of. Austin told them that if they didn't change their plans, he wouldn't be there. Vince stuck to his plans, so Austin didn't show up. He did warn them, but I don't think they took him seriously.

Good for Punk for standing up for himself and whatever it is he may believe in. I'm bummed I won't be able to watch him weekly but it is what it is. I doubt any bridges have been burned considering Vince is still trying to get through to him. I also doubt he shows up anywhere else....hasn't he been saying for a while that he wants to retire soon?

I'll assume Vince and the officials are sitting around a table with a radio in the middle hearing AJ (who's wearing an earpiece while f***ing Punk) trying to convince him to come back by gasming. Johnny Ace's right hand is under the table for some reason.

Look at how many guys trash it in shoots and then make their way back.
