All soft drinks lose their sparkle, and this was no different. I'm a Punk fan, but that's mostly for the performer, not the person. Won't miss him at all. This is what needs to happen to a lot of ex-WWE cast-offs in your young wrestling promotions, it's taken us this long but progress is being made. We won't live in that world anymore.
Spoilers for Payback, but I thought WWE did a hilarious job of playing into the news with Cody's promo on Waller Effect. It made me believe just for a moment when he said "I don't know if I'll regret this or not..."

i don't even think it is that punk had some "old school mentality", otherwise you would've seen similar shit back in wwe and to our knowledge that didn't happen
what did happen is that his gimmick was based upon counter culture and in the time he was gone, people did the same thing in a better way that seemed way more authentic and i think this dude just didn't really know what to do with that or people not obeying every order he had as a "veteran"
most of these guys spent those 7 years he was gone having a shitload more matches than him.

I’m not following much wrestling besides checking tv results. That’s one thing good to thing to come from the Punk news tonight, it completely overshadowed there was a wwe PPV.

He won the title twice and never had a single defense, right? never won a single defense. He did lose it to Moxley |

So... What are the chances that FTR and other friends of Punk quit over this? In my wildest dreams, but in reality I don’t see it. It is hilarious to see FTR Gun throw up a tribute like he’s not already in negative light. Maybe don’t try to shoutout your friend on TV after he tried to attack the guy who signs your paychecks. GREAT DANGER AHEAD WARNING STOP DO NOT CONTINUE INTO TRENT'S TWITTER LIKES Why whatever could he… oh no. I saw Pearl, closed my laptop and threw it out the window. |

One thing I don't get is, Punk (allegedly) cared about Perry's health helping veto the first glass spot. So then Punk was so mad that Perry did it anyways, that he assaulted him?

So then Punk was so mad that Perry did it anyways, that he assaulted him? without explicitly stating he cared or didn't care (there's no way of knowing either way), it is best to take the last week of hausman reports like that and have them go in one ear and out the other, regardless of if they make punk look good or bad a panicked man is a man who makes the littlest sense, punk in all likelihood knew he was fired considering he literally waved and said goodbye after his match at all in |

His insistence that he was a locker room leader and people should listen to him. Getting pissed at Edge and Jericho for watching a hockey game (Canada vs United States gold medal game) backstage during a house show instead of going over a match they've done countless times.

It was reported that Punk thought Perry was lazy and was looking for a week off, and the glass spot was a way to do it. Never mind that Perry had that time off approved before the glass spot. And it was apparently a windshield spot, which that glass is designed to break safer than other glass. |

How are they going to terminate him? They don't have a machine gun. But… they have Arn Anderson’s glock! |

Not that I know which story is right and which is wrong, Alverez reported that Punk said "you can do that crap on Wednesdays, but you can't do it on Saturdays" But who the heck knows which is the real story |

They all grew with the time, or in Batista’s case, got out. It’s ironic because he does seem progressive with his real life causes, but it doesn’t show in wrestling. He slipped into the old curmudgeon veteran role and was still a “rebel”, but the only thing left to “rebel” against was what’s new in wrestling. Which is basically what AEW is. Reminds me of my post a few months back about Punk's "rebel" attitude. It worked with the WWE machine during a time where change was needed, but not with AEW. This time, he got exposed and proved everything the critics said about him right. I mean go back through his career and you'll kinda see the same pattern that he was always the same asshole... it's just one thing when you're the young guy taking on the world... vs. the old guy yelling at the kids today... not to mention his old targets were like Teddy Hart and WWE Corporate... |

I do wonder if Punk's always been as violent as he's been the past year or if something's changed on that front. That TV house show story sounds like it's something he's had going on for a long time.

I haven’t read her book but I saw someone online mention they read she wrote in it that homeboy once ignored her for a week cause she didn’t say bye or something Larry b at home like NOOOOOoooooo Okay so that is like literally abusive behavior. I have the book in front of me so here's the EXACT quote - "As our friendship grew closer, we simultaneously began fighting a lot. The most trivial things would send us at each other's throats. "Why did you leave the building without saying good-bye to me?" he once furiously texted before ignoring me for a week." Emotional mind games are so romantic 😍 |

He has a history, at least, of trying to chastise other wrestlers for harmless shit, like him trying to chew out Kevin Steen in front of the ROH locker room for wrestling in a t-shirt, which is a bit rich given Punk's baggy shorts he wrestled in for years that were all pretty amateurish looking. |
