My favorite wrestlers of all time are HBK, Sting, Jericho, Edge, Punk, and Lesnar. All of them took breaks (sometimes multi) for an extended period of time. Besides Sting, part of me wishes the rest stayed retired. HBK retired in 2010 and never returned, though...? Unless you just hated his entire second run? I'm talking about Crown Jewel in 2018...

All this started over a Hangman Adam Page Promo... If it hadn't started over that, then it likely would have started over something else. Like at the core of it, Hangman apologized for the comment and they ironed it out. In May. Before Double or Nothing. They met, everything shoudl have been dealt with. Punk's the one who's been dragging this out for over a year claiming 'nothing's been done' because the disproportionate retribution Punk wants hasn't been dished out. Which all hints that this would've happened over something else. Someone else's comment, someone else's misstep, someone else not 'respecting his authority'. If he wasn't looking outright for a reason to pick a fight, then he's just so miserable and wired for a fight right now that he'd have ended up amplifying and blowing up some other insane thing. It all ends the same way, it all leads to the same bullshit. If this was just one singular incident, Punk would have moved on by now. He's done the opposite of that.

I can buy Punk going up to Khan with some fire in him (adrenaline of the fight etc) but actually lunging? That's the problem with eye witness accounts though. One word can really change the meaning of something. The weirder part is if true how did no one else have this story?

Punk is lucky his major IRL beef is with the Elite who consist of a dude that hasn't commented on this shit since day one and three dudes whose idea of a clapback is goofing around in front of a Chicago crowd. I genuinely believe if he was in a blood rivalry with MJF or Jericho he would have been worked into an actual embolism by now

Earlier I decided to have a look at some of the games on sale in the Switch store. I got a little bored of looking through after a while so I turned the Switch off while still in the store. I came in this thread and saw all of the praise for Disco Elysium, so I decided to check how much it was. I turned my Switch on and it was still on the sale section of the store. Guess which game was dead centre on my screen and was highlighted? Such a weird coincidence that I stopped searching on Disco Elysium and then saw all the chatter here about it. It's a little cheaper on PlayStation, but maybe I'll get the Switch version. I rented the game from Gamefly once but couldn't at all get into it. Might take another crack at it at some point but it kind of just felt not for me. That said I impulse bought Vampire Slayers the other day and have been impulse playing it like goddamn crazy.

I genuinely believe if he was in a blood rivalry with MJF or Jericho he would have been worked into an actual embolism by now I'd say on the other hand he's in fact very unlucky that his biggest beef is with guys who keep ignoring him. What he wants is a fight. If they fought back he could come out on top and he could point to shit they do and say "See? I'm justified" and he keeps not getting that out of them. Not even while f***ing around with their friends now. The one time they tried to talk to him it was backstage and with the weight of company legal and talent relations with them in hopes this wasn't going to get ugly and it got ugly anyway. Since then, they've ignored him, stayed away from him, not done a single thing to him, and yet still, he persists. It makes Punk look like an angry child not getting his way and it is the absolute best way to let this happen. Because otherwise, you get stuff like with Jack Perry, where he's saying dumb shit and people get to rightly say "He's not innocent in this either". The Elite aren't giving him that opportunity. And maybe that isn't convincing the people who blame the Jacksons for getting in the way of his fist, or the people ready to weave vast conspiracy theories about the Bucks putting Perry up to this in hopes that Punk punches him and gets suspended or whatever. But those people cannot be reasoned with and there's no use in trying. With no input from them, Punk keeps hanging himself, and it's absolutely the smartest move because it denies Punk what he wants, and also what he needs to keep trying to make this an actual conflict with tangible sides to it. Punk needs someone to play against him and they refuse to, and that means he can't actually f*** with them.

One word can really change the meaning of something. The weirder part is if true how did no one else have this story? There were reports of a confrontation. One person's confrontation is another person's lunge, which is exactly why you need an investigation and can't just take one account as true, even if that person was there.

The whole thing is pretty funny. The idea of Punk/Joe/Jerry Lynn and Paul Turner happily posing after the match AND after Punk tried to attack the boss doesn't really add up but it's fun to think about.

If he quit, grant him the the release and never mention him again. In fact, act like he never existed.
Go old school on him, decree him damnatio memoriae and just move on

CM Punk pulls a George Costanza and shows up to Collision like he never quit.
