I really like CM Punk fan, but am I the only one that's excited he's gone? Just cause of the backlash and more crowd hijackings that are going to happen. I love this shit. I think this is still quite niche. The Bryan thing took off because of response to the TV character as opposed to the interweb. Punk going might cause issues in ultra-smarky cities (See Goldberg vs Lesnar WMXX) but elsewhere it'll just be a guy who's no longer on TV for some reason.

I don't think you're mocking me, I just think we all have different work experience; hence, I asked the question in the first place. My industry is biotech. And you show up for your job tomorrow, maybe a few minutes early...and say, "I'm going home." and quit. That's just seen as a cool thing by your colleagues or your bosses? This will not negatively impact work or productivity in any way, shape, or form? But I thought it's been established that's not what happened and that Punk clearly talked to Vince about how unhappy he was well before the show? Or maybe I'm getting wires crossed here. I think the point Piccolo and others are trying to make that Punk absolutely could leave whenever he wanted. It's not professional, I agree, but he is well within his right to do so.

That's why his name gets chanted on every Raw in many different towns and he sells merch like crazy. He has a niche fanbase. Come the f*** on, dude.

I'm in the same boat as you. Initially I was bummed out but the more I think about it I'm fine with him leaving. He gets rest and doesn't have to risk his body in a pointless storyline with Kane or whatever the big rewrite on Monday had him in (which apparently wasn't satisfying enough). WWE has a reality check from him leaving and fan uproar over him leaving. *waving from the left side of the boat*

The Yesmovement is in full swing, people are pissed and won't take anymore CM Punk leaves Batista being back really gave people a sour taste. Shit is hitting the fan and I love it. I can not wait for next monday, and March 4th when they are in Chicago.

I'm not sure what the true story is--and nobody is at this point, I think. Which is why I'm not condemning Punk about his actions. I'm just condemning what may have happened. I understand what they're saying about him quitting. My point is that Liberty is not license. Just because you're free to do something doesn't mean you should do it.

"this thing" being internet knowledge of wrestling insider business, as evident if you'd progressed beyond sentence one.

GUYS, I FIGURED IT OUT. With the company in such turmoil, Punk decided that now was the perfect time to drop his debut album. The CM Punk LP drops next month. Features the masterpiece known as "Kim, AJ, Lita, Traci, Daffney, and that other chick." Very emotional song. I prefer, "Crazy Maria."

This Punk thing is way bigger than just internet knowledge. I'm not sure it is. If you're a casual TV viewer who doesn't know who Dave Meltzer or Rajah is - how would you know? WWE audience may be more socially active than that of other shows I'd still guess most of the viewership watches it the way they do other shows and don't seek out news on characters during the week or discussion forums etc. I think people who do are quite a small/niche section of the fan-base.

All the hype I got from Bryan started in this forum (right when he was signed and showed up on nxt) and to this day everyone here wants to shoe horn bryan in to every story line and make him look like the best ever. I got annoying but I ignored it. The same shit with Punk people were so annoying with him (im included in that) but have you seen the crowd? Do you see the little ones wearing CM punk gear? The women? The Bros? What about ESPN during the pipebomb thing? How about the DVD? CM punk is not that niche dude.

And you show up for your job tomorrow, maybe a few minutes early...and say, "I'm going home." and quit. That's just seen as a cool thing by your colleagues? This will not negatively impact work or productivity in any way, shape, or form? Is it LESS negatively impactful when the company suddenly lets somebody go? Because the company doesn't give 2 weeks' notice. Sure, it'd be a negative impact. If I wasn't a positive contributor, I wouldn't be employed in the first place. But it's no worse than if someone gets a sudden illness and is out for weeks. It's no worse than a reorg that slices people off a project unexpectedly... here one day, packing their bags that afternoon. One person doesn't make or break an organization, and at-will employment on the part of the company means the employee needs to have that same freedom. Many people give notice, of course. I'm not saying people quit on the spot on a regular basis; everyone would like to be polite if it's possible. What I'm arguing against is the idea that it's somehow ~unacceptable if you need to do it. It's not, and your coworkers would absolutely not see it as uncool or dislike you for doing it. They'd shake your hand, keep in touch, and keep on networking with you, because that's how business works.

I didn't say CM Punk was niche. I said following a show you watch online during the week and entering into forum discussions on that show is stil a niche interest. There are forums discussing all kinds of different shows and sports but the majority of the audience are week-to-weekers. Tune in last week, tune in this week. Without logging on to discuss whether this actress is happy or this plot has been rewritten or this character is leaving etc.
Unless you're part of that group the Punk thing will probably be news to you until you hear some kind of explanation on WWE TV.

How long will it take for people watching at home to hear the CM Punk chants and connect that to his disappearance? (Granted 3hr Raws are a complete clusterf***, many may assume they just forgot or didn't see his segment)

Any wrestler who can get mainstream press from an organization that gives zero damns about wrestling unless murder is involved has a media presence. Oh, LA Times covered it as well. When he did Summer of Punk, there was mainstream publicity too. THAT is most likely why Vince is reportedly working to get him back, because you could count on one hand the number of guys who get mainstream pub with fingers left over.

To be fair I have now explained three times why I didn't say CM Punk was 'niche'.

He doesn't do internet stuff. So someone us talking about it in the real world too.
