It sounds like he's never coming back.

Jesus, Ryback's push (or lack there of) makes complete sense now.

I feel as though my complete disdain for Ryback has been totally validated.

Always knew he'd do it this way. Listening right now. Very excited.

Kinda funny how he's hiding who he is married to despite I think it being the worst kept secret in modern wrestling history.

Him saying "I bought my f***ing house" gave me douche chills.

Could someone give cliff notes when it's finished?

Wow, what a show. FedEx'd him his termination papers on his wedding day with refusal to pay him his back pay. Damn. Yeah, I don't blame him one bit for hating wrestling now. I'm going to have to listen again when I have had some sleep.
I will say, I don't know if I should feel bad for Ryback or not.
Oh, and I hope Jericho doesn't have a concert tonight because Punk verbally booted his testicles clear into his throat.

"It never really felt like I had a place in that company"
Yeah, because Punk is an independent thinker. Not surprised by his complaints because it's similar to the stuff fans have said: why is the company booking this way, wrestlers overworked, no long term planning, overuse of big show, etc.
EDIT: Also f*** Ryback.

Never cared much for the guy, but I really appreciate his points on labor w/r/t the network ("Shouldn't, you think, you should figure that out before I work on the pay-per-view? So you can pay me accordingly?"). None of his grievances are unfair. Dude seems happy and healthy.
EDIT: Still can't stand Cabana, though.

I had no intention of listening to this all the way through tonight/this morning, but I couldn't stop after I got started.
There are serious points brought up that warrant discussing (the complete negligence of WWE's doctor, for one) and they should be discussed here.
I, however, will go to bed laughing at the beyond amazing image of CM Punk, Dean Ambrose, and Vince McMahon standing around in a group laughing about Punk shitting his pants.

This is fascinating.
Still love Punk, even more now.

Even if the situation is half as bad as Punk makes out, WWE sounds like absolute hell on earth to work in. I wouldn't last 5 minutes in that company.

Can somebody summarize this in a paragraph or two?

Can somebody summarize this in a paragraph or two? As far as I've gotten, Punk was hurt all the time, kept working, kept getting promised things, kept having to work guys and lose who wouldn't be there the next day, Ryback sucks as much as it looks.

Can somebody summarize this in a paragraph or two? Not really, it's like a 2-hour long podcast with lots of interesting bits. Here's a bullet point list from a website though of some of the key things he said: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}* He left after the Royal Rumble mainly because of his health. He talked about working with broken ribs, a concussion and bad knees during his last months with the company. Punk was so sick during last November's European tour that he was throwing up and dry heaving every night after his matches. He had a fever for months and no appetite. WWE doctors gave him so many antibiotics that he had an accident in the ring on SmackDown, all while watching his paychecks shrink. He said it was the worst he's ever felt in his life.
* He suffered a concussion early during the Royal Rumble match but still worked. He passed a concussion test the next day and called the testing "bullshit." WWE informed he passed but wanted him to run the ring ropes and evaluate him. Punk then demanded that they just decide he has a concussion and admitted that he had been trying to deny he was hurt and just tough it out.Punk says that same day he was being pressured about taking a drug test and signing visas for future tours instead of listening to his requests for help because something was obviously wrong. Punk then told Vince McMahon and Triple H that he was going home. Punk says he told off Triple H about cutting off his momentum in 2011 and complained to Vince for stifling Punk's creativity. He says he told them both it was garbage how Daniel Bryan wasn't being considered for the WrestleMania XXX main event. Punk says he told them he didn't want to do this anymore and was done. Vince was in tears when he hugged Punk goodbye and told him he was family.
* However, Punk was actually fired from WWE. After he left in January, he was told a few weeks later by Vince McMahon through text message that he was being suspended for two months. This was the day before Vince told WWE shareholders that Punk had taken a sabbatical. Punk heard from no one in WWE once the suspension was over and received termination papers for breach of contract on his wedding day in June.
* Punk says he hired a very vicious lawyer to go after WWE and fight their claim of breach of contract. In the end, he got a settlement that gave him everything he asked for and more. Punk's not allowed to talk about the settlement. He said they are done and will never have a working relationship again. Punk says WWE wanted to issue a joint statement with him but he told them to "f*** off." WWE was worried he would go to TNA but Punk's lawyer told WWE that he despises wrestling now and will never wrestle again.
* He said wrestling Ryback took "20 years off his life" and described Ryback as "steroid guy."
