As a Punk fan, this sucks.
As a former die-hard fan turned very casual fan (mostly a Daniel Bryan/The Shield viewer), I find this incredibly fascinating to watch go down.

You know, one of the more creative things that WWE did when Austin walked was that magazine cover where they shop "Why?" on his What?shirt. I wonder what WWE would do in this case?

AJ better watch out and be ready to defend herself, if Austin taking his ball and going home is any indication...

Bridges can most certainly be temporarily burned, though. And returning guys who've left on bad terms aren't exactly treated well when they get back. They more or less allow them back to the can bury them just a bit. Punk won't. There's no way he'll agree to come back and get buried. He's a lot more stubborn than guys like Christian.

I can't say I blame Punk for this. It's obvious that his one target left in his career is a main event of Wrestlemania, & it wasn't happening this year. A match with Kane would have been a huge waste of him, while the HHH match is better suited for Daniel Bryan, considering what they have built up since August of last year.
I can understand his frustrations with people like Batista coming back & winning the Rumble too, when he (& most of the roster) spent the year worker there asses off for the chance to be considered for that spot, only for one of HHH's close friends returning to be given that spot with 11 minutes of work in 4 years. It's not exactly a morale boost.
I hope he comes back one day. But I feel this is the best decision for him right now, especially if he's got the health issues that he's been talking about. He doesn't need to risk his health when he can easily be tossed aside & replaced by someone else in a heartbeat. I hope this wakes up the writers & bookers in WWE to show them the error of their ways. If a top talent like Punk will walk out because of how bad the direction is, there's potential for others too. Sometimes you just need someone to take a stand, & Punk has always been the type of guy to not deal with bullshit.

Got to love how the wrestling fan spelled "Vice" wrong.

Can Vince just not txt him at 4am? Vince is not the best at using telephones. Not sure if serious but in one of the interviews someone posted earlier Punk and Vince text each other regularly.

Got to love how the wrestling fan spelled "Vice" wrong. I loved "backstage bully" Ryback and I love his current Twitter persona. Wish they could find a way to channel that into matches and money.

Got to love how the wrestling fan spelled "Vice" wrong. And this is why I know WWE missed the boat. Batista vs. Ryback at Mania with possibly having Scott Steiner in a neutral corner would have been awesome. I might watch for the promos alone.

Well of course, line-stepping is what happens here, but this is a tangible, real life situation. I don't know, I can't really justify why this is worse or anything but it just hits me wrong.

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." CM Punk has held the WWE hostage. This is hilarious. Given Punk has the WWE by the nuts I say this will be the PPV's main 3 matches. WWE Title Match: Bryan vs Batista vs Orton (C) CM Punk vs Triple H (If Punk wins the Authority is abolished for good) The Streak: Undertaker vs Lesnar God I hope so.
