Apparently, the WWE is no longer following Punk on Twitter. Also, TMZ has now picked up the story. So, yeah...this is real. And it really, really, really sucks. Punk and Bryan being there were the only reasons I clung to hope that things would get better in the future, and it's clear it's not now. Just read up on that. Its really crazy. He is acting a little immature to me. I mean, there are plenty of other stars who could complain and act like this but they arent. Just selfish to me..

Honestly, I'm glad he did it because WWE deserves it. They just lost one of their biggest stars - and if they thought they heard it from the crowd with the "Yes" and "daniel bryan" chants - wait until the crowds start chanting "CM PUNK" all weekend at Wrestlemania. They wont be able to drown it out or ignore it. And they wont have the guy on their roster to flip around the context of it. WWE for this. Terrible booking gets you here. People call Punk a baby - he's been disrespected yet again for a guy like Batista who is only back for the money and will likely not be working full time or healthy for 2 straight years. More disappointment. ing cant stand this week.

In less than a week, WWE has completely took a huge blow for the worse.

From what I remember, all he did was he told the guys in the back he was planning on leaving after MitB if we didn't win as he was tired and thought he was being under utilized. He wasn't asking for a release, all he asked for was a ball he could roll with or he wasn't going to resign. WWE realized "hey, maybe fans might want to see someone other than R-Truth and the Miz." Cena was already set to face the Rock so why not start setting up the feud. If you asked your boss a raise at your job or go accept another job that was offering you more, would you consider that b*tching or a good ultimatum? If this was a one off event, then certainly, I'd say he has every right to better himself. The problem is, this isn't a one time event. He has threatened to leave the company multiple times when he wasn't happy with even the slightest detail. Even in his DVD set, multiple agents said that Punk is hard to deal with. Punk himself said that if creative brings him an interview or angle that he doesn't like, he will rip up the proposal and throw it in their faces. I'm not saying that he has to play ball all the time, but it makes his threats less intimidating when he is constantly making them. Again, up until the Authority storyline, I had not heard of many problems at all. Also, do you realize how many wrestlers have been hard to work with over the years? Hogan and Michaels were known to always go complaining to Vince if they had a problem. Michaels and Bret were known to constantly get into fights with each other when it involved. Michaels and X-Pac are known to pull pranks that go to far. JBL is known to be a Bully. Hardcore Holly, Ultimate Warrior, and Vader are known to work stiff. Jake Roberts (frontally) flashed a crowd. Multiple wrestlers would show up in no shape to compete. If you think Punk ripping up a script is the biggest problem they are facing, you are sorely mistaken.

I miss the days when you had people like Andre The Giant who could have and rightfully should have main evented PPVs until he retired BUT once his program with Hogan was over, was able to take a back seat and wrestle in the upper mid card.
Guys like Batista cant come back and give back. Thats my problem with these "big" guys returning. RVD comes back - he puts over talent. Batista comes back - he probably wont put over anyone.

I like the people complaining how this is unprofessional. This is the WWE. The company that treats JR like crap all the time. The company that holds back wrestlers who are over just to let them know who's in charge. The company that has an anti-bullying campaign and yet is run by bullies. If that's being "professional", I can live without it.

People act like Punk is the only one that has been unhappy or did stuff like this because their position in the company. Austin. Michaels, Hogan, Bret, Flair have all thrown their weight around. Apparently you guys have never worked real jobs where you aren't being used to the best of your ability. Its up to you to speak up and change things or its time to leave. For those saying he should shut up and take it, is that what you'd do if you were being fed sh**? Fact is Punk is a major drawer and star for the company and has been unhappy with his direction in the company for a while. It's apparent that they did nothing to work on that which is no surprise. He went from being the longest rating champion in the last 25 years, to putting over mainly part timers last year, to feuds with Kane and the New Age Outlaws (no disrepect to them). If WWE cared about any of this they would have worked with him to find a way to make everything work. It's bitching if he is vocally unhappy and wanting to leave, but if Shawn Michaels did it was over looked. Regardless, with him leaving, dispite his personal attitude, WWE has lost easily one of their best workers and top guys.

Because it's the easy/lazy thing to do. The people who still to this day defend Triple H are the same delusional people who have been saying for years, "Let's see where they go with this" despite the company continually getting worse each week and having zero long-term plans for anybody other than Cena. Yeah, those are the same people who think anyone who dislikes Triple H believes he's a part of some conspiracy to hold others down. He's an insecure, petty, smug bully, and he has always been - he shares a lot of bad traits with Vince. To have your head so far up your ass that you think Hunter does no wrong and deserves no blame for anything that sucks about this company (and it sucks badly right now) is absurd.

In less than a week, WWE has completely took a huge blow for the worse. Yeah, but the good news is that Batista is back. Yay If you guys had a choice between Punk and Batista, who would you choose?? I don't know about you guys, but Punk's got my vote. Batista is just too damn old to be given the top spot these days. He only got it because he's Triple H's good buddy. Punk has busted his ass for WWE for the last few years, but what has Batista done for the company?? in' nothin'. I'm with Punk all the way here. And you guys will be begging for Punk to come back when you see the dreadful promos and buildup from Batista to promote his title match at WrestleMania.

I will say Triple H has done quite a few things to help the company in recent years and their is evidence of that. Bad at the same time he let's personal opinions and his ego get in the way of making smart choices.

I can't blame him at all for being disgruntled about his job -- I've been there & told my boss that I was out and it was because of him -- sometimes you have to be selfish for your own personal well being The only thing selfish about this is in regards to AJ Lee...if they're still dating, she's going to be punished if he is gone & she is still dating him

He may very well be, legit,gone. But I don't think it will stay that way for too long. I could see him making a surprise return at Mania, perhaps costing Triple H or the Authority in some catastrophic way. It'd make for good believable tv.

PUNK IS MORE OVER THAN CENA. WWE just wont put him in the drivers seat. Its ing annoying. Does Cena need the main event every single PPV?? Does Orton? Does Batista? Seems like the veterans are too scared to give up their spots for a little while. Veterans are always afraid to give up there spots, because they fear they will never get their spot back. It seems like nobody wants to pass the torch. A lot of guys in TNA were bitter about Booker T because he said he wanted to get younger guys over, but he really was just desperately cling to the spotlight. It's kind of sad.

so many things to say... Punk has every right to do what he's doing. Guy has done NOTHING wrong in his career, made HIMSELF into a huge star despite the WWE's desperate trying to stop it. Carried their title for over a year while STILL taking a back seat to John Cena. Drops the belt to a guy who wrestled 2 matches in 10 YEARS, loses that rematch and is thrown right back to the middle of the card (oh yeah he had a nice MOTY candidate with Undertaker that...oh right, DIDNT WIN match of the year, because you JohnCena/Rock). He spent 3 years trying to become the next "big thing" and the WWE goes...."Meh we've got Cena, Orton, Brock, Batista, Rock. We're good" Even ing ALBERTO DEL RIO has never left the main event spotlight. He's always right there at the top. While Punk has to engage in a feud with Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel half the year. Let's see what happens to Bryan in a year or two. I wonder if people would be reacting the same way about Bryan if he did what Punk did. Or What about Ziggler? Or any other of the golden boys of the IWC It's not like Punk's been in the company for a year and expected to be handed everything How long has Punk missed time due to injury? or a storyline? How many PPV's has Punk main evented? When Punk's shirts were selling more and faster than everyone else including Cena...who was getting the spotlight? I'd be frustrated too. If I was giving my job 110% month in and month out, then some dude who LEFT THE COMPANY 4 years ago comes in and gets promoted to CEO. Might make me re-think what I was doing. Maybe it's not enough for Punk "just to be on the card".....maybe he is a guy that actually WANTS to be The Man. But never will because this ing company has their heads so far up their own asses and the asses of the stars THEY made, Punk knows it's not gonna happen. You can call him whiny, call him a bitch....whatever. He is absolutely right for telling this company to go itself because they sure as hell have done it to him for quite long enough. Of course this could really all be a work, and lead to a big storyline just because the WWE loves publicity.... if Punk's gone, I may have to take a break from this shit. I want no part of in' BATISTA as the top guy AGAIN. And endless cycle of madness between Orton/Cena/Batista....they'll never break it. Bryan will probably win the belt at EC, and then lose it in a triple threat at 'Mania. They don't give a crapabout him either, and when he's finally fed up with it he'll want to leave too. Batista, Rock, Orton, etc got to where they are because the WWE machine MADE IT HAPPEN. It's obvious with guys like Bryan and Punk they know that people like them, but they are never going to fully commit to those guys being the big guys because they have ZERO faith in it actually working out the way they want it. Instead we are going to get Roman Reigns, Big E Langston & Sheamus (still) because you. we're the WWE.

Guys like Batista cant come back and give back. Thats my problem with these "big" guys returning. RVD comes back - he puts over talent. Batista comes back - he probably wont put over anyone. you gotta look at it from the talent's perspective - coming back for the title means monster publicity for him; otherwise, he may not bother Batista is making films in Hollywood & has a pretty good role in "Guardians Of The Galaxy" coming up. He didn't have to come back. Regardless of who showed first interest in a return, he is going to want certain things guaranteed. Why would a former WWE Champ come back to lose? He wants publicity that shows he returned, is dominant again, & even champ. For the company, they see it as pulling interest from entertainment news sites & drawing interest that an actor can also be champ (even if originally a wrestler). They have to do this as a company to guarantee that others that leave or are actors, possibly would be interested in coming to a 'phony sport.' He can come back to put people over, but that could be something the movie studio has to agree with. It could be in his contract that if they're going to allow him to risk physical injury, they don't want it to happen unless he's guaranteed a championship match/title reign -- for publicity purposes. The Rock came back & was a bad guy once...was losing etc. & I don't think it went over well for publicity, not compared to him returning for a high profile match or fighting for the title.
