Punk was apparently burned out and hurting all through his title run, had to be his dedication and motivation that kept him going, once that was gone he had no reason to stick around, though I don't agree with him at least not giving them enough time to write him out of storylines,left poor Kane high and dry and that wasn't right

Kane got his shit wrecked at WM, and i wouldn't have not wanted that

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Punk even said his match with Seth Rollins were garbage. He may have been joking but when you watch it, Punk was FAR from 100 percent. If he thinks he's not living to his standards of talent for the people to pay and see him perform, then him leaving is an incredibly selfless thing to do.

I agree that he shouldn't have done it as abruptly as he did, but for all we know Vince told him to go home when he said he couldn't keep going. As has been reported, only Vince, Punk, and Hunter know what happened. I'm not sure the public will know for a while.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Vince, for you baby boy:

look at Stout tring to fight the ref. HEHE!

 

[Rapstah]

The start of Punk's existentian crisis seems to be when he shat himself while wrestling Dean Ambrose. Coincidence?

 

[Data West]

Punk thinks just because he tapes his hands and has a bunch of tattoos and takes MMA classes for beginners at his local gym that he's a tough guy

Does he? I've never heard him say as much. Every interview I've seen with him seems to be him saying he knows he couldn't get in a cage with an actual fighter.

we only him allow to exist out of respect to Paul.

 

[Rapstah]

Lana's theme is kind of cheesy but it's got some nice synergy going on with Rusev's. Sounds like a face theme in parts though while Rusev's perfectly establishes what character he's supposed to be.

No matter the reasons, it's a weenie thing to just walk out.

Vince, for you baby boy:

Holy shit, that is instinct taking over when his soul is murdered. Amazing.

[Aiii]

I understand where you are coming from, but I had a collegue that got burned out and it was the weirdest thing, at one point he was walking out of the room to get a cup of coffee and all of a sudden the mug fell on the floor and he nearly collapsed just from that. Nothing actually physically wrong with the guy, but he damn near fainted just because of burning out. That shit is serious business.

it's fascinating. it's like a headless lizard keeping climbing walls. there's nothing there but it keeps moving.

IT is a rough place no doubt. Crazy things happen.

I am legit of the mind that if you are burned out, if you do HAVE to stop, you give a notice of some sort. And like it's been mentioned, only 3 people know what ACTUALLY did happen. Maybe this was their band-aid for the issue - just take a hike pal. Or it could be any number of things.

I would ASSUME (but it is not clear, naturally) that WWE would want to write Punk off of TV as opposed to a vanishing act.

But who knows.

 

[Sblargh]

That gif is sad, why are they hurting themselves for real instead of doing amazing and relatively safe acrobatic feats. for the entertainment of the whole family?

That guy could now be on the make a wish foundation, carrying children around, laughing, doing a lighthearted comedy spot with his great friend Santino.

Instead, he is being punched in the face.

How do you know Vince didn't just tell him to go home and think about it?

One thing you do NOT want to do is look too deep into the more personal lives of some particular MMA fighters. You thought Warrior was bad?

There's plenty of MMA fighters who are stand-up guys but...

How do you know Vince didn't just tell him to go home and think about it?

I don't, but check above for my reasoning.

Goddamn you're argumentative today pal! Shit!

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

How do you know Vince didn't just tell him to go home and think about it?

It's cause he's a weenie. Can't you read?

 

[Data West]

Vince would have released him a la Kurt if he thought that

 

[slightconfuse]

Well he is INj-TBD. Because he has all the injuries .

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Kurt's unceremonious offloading was something else. For all the right reasons. WWE stepped the fuck away for a good reason.

 

[Data West]

Let's just keep it this way -- Brock ripped out his soul, and he's never recovered.

Lee Murray.

What does most of Wrasslegaf do for a living?

I'm the Director of Operations of a bar and restaurant on the Seaside Heights boardwalk and a waiter whenever Snooki and J-Wow come in because none of my waitstaff want to be on Jersey Shore.

He's referencing this treasure of a promo.

"Listen, and understand! Brock Lesnar is out there! He can't be bargained with! He can't be reasoned with! He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"

 

[serenewarfare]

I don't, but check above for my reasoning.

Goddamn you're argumentative today pal! Shit!

I'm not arguing. I just wanted to know your reasoning. All is good man.

They released Kurt because Kurt didn't want to stop and was a liability. Punk is almost the opposite.

I don't get it, is that picture supposed to piss me off? I love Brock!

 

[XenoRaven]

Now this is a narrative I can get behind.

 

[Serpentine]

I buy it, but let's not pretend that Curtis Axel didn't play a part in that

 

[DMczaf]

Remember when Curtis Axel beat Triple H?

 

[Rapstah]

Remember when Curtis Axel beat Triple H?

By ref stoppage. He then beat John Cena by count-out in both the original match and the extreme rules rematch somehow. He beat John Cena by count-out in an extreme rules match.

 

[Serpentine]

Remember when Curtis Axel beat Triple H?

Remember when he beat him twice in one night?

Remember when he beat the then WWE Champion John Cena?

 

[Rapstah]

Remember the last no-DQ match John Cena had where they didn't have rope breaks?

 

[serenewarfare]

That push made absolutely no sense. It didn't make him look tough, he just looked like the luckiest guy alive.

 

[Vylash]

Remember when Curtis Axel beat Triple H?

Remember when Del Rio beat Batista?

 

[slightconfuse]

Rember when kofi beat Orton ?

 

[Rapstah]

Remember when Albert beat Brock Lesnar?

 

[Toki767]

Remember when Hurricane beat the Rock?

 

[serenewarfare]

Remember when Daniel Bryan beat John Cena?

 

[Serpentine]

Remember when ADR beat Sheamus?

 

[Singularity42]

Remember when CM Punk was the best in the world?

 

[serenewarfare]

Remember when Chris Jericho was the best in the world at what he did?
