These threads are pointless until Punk speaks out.

Do you not understand how much time and preparation goes into a movie? Some of Rock's films are like 3 months of prep and 4-5 months of filming. Thats 7-8 months and then you have promotional work. Rock is putting out how many movies a year? Not to mention reshoots. How exactly is he gonna be showing up more often? I dont care how many part time guys have wrestled more or made more appearances than Rock. Each person negotiated their own deal. If they want a Rock schedule then negotiate that. If you want a longer schedule....then do so. But dont hate cuz Rock was a better negotiator. In addition, Rock is a MUCH bigger draw than ANY of those part time names combined. Every Raw and Smackdown Rock appeared on last year was SOLD OUT. All this talk about pain and injury is nothing more than a bunch of ing excuses. WWE doesnt allowed injured wrestlers to compete. Christian wasnt allowed on Main Event this past week cuz of a concussion. If Punk was that bad....he wouldnt need to take time off, WWE would send him home. I find it quite sad how people are grasping at any straw they can to try and cast some of this deserved resentment towards Punk. You can love him as performer and respect his work, without having to have delusions of grandeur concerning why he left. Maybe the next dirsheet report will report a close family member died and you will cling to that as an excuse. You still refuse to answer my question honestly. And thats fine. Your refusal tells all. You know as well as I do, if he had won the RR and was main eventing WM for the World Title.....he would be there today. And THAT debunks the injury/pain story you have clinged too. Punk can want to go down as the best all he wants.....but he isnt going be. A lot of it isnt even his fault. He is just in the wrong era. Being the biggest star of this era is like being the smartest intellectually- disabled kid in room full of intellectually- disabled kids. He left before WM to take a harder line and send a stronger message. No bigger and better time. While many people are burying grudges at WM time....Punk is pushing his hard. The WM bonus is a sizable portion of the money he will make for the year. He is leaving a lot of money on the table by taking this stance right now. To answer your questions.....he isnt making public statements because of 2 reasons. One, Punk is naturally introverted. Interviews, going on twitter, etc. are just not the way he is going to handle his personal affairs cuz he doesnt believe its any of our business. Second, for legal reasons. Punk is already in a lot of hot water with his breach of contract. What happens to him legally is in the hands of WWE. You dont want to antagonize Vince. Doing shoot interviews, ranting on twitter, etc. is only gonna do just that. Why would none of the other superstars bashed him? Really?! First they are his co workers and they know, like we know....they will be working with him again someday. Second, I am sure WWE has told everyone to not speak any details concerning the situation and that its internal matter. Meet every single media question with general answers and reveal nothing. Third, there are a lot of guys who agree with his frustration and feel it the same. While, they would never be so unprofessional....they hope that perhaps that Punk's tirade might make some changes in the structure and they can benefit from it. And lastly, I am sure Punk has made quite a few friends there. Even if they dont agree with his tactics, they arent gonna bash their friend. Friends dont do that to one another. You dont bury your friend, no matter how selfish and unprofessional their actions are. You support them the best you can. What question? It doesn't matter how long it takes for him to make a movie, he said he was never leaving again yet we haven't seen him in almost a year. Are you trying to tell me he is so busy that he can't even make a 2 minute clip? I get that he draws money for them but guess what? The buyrates for the WM's he appear at were almost equal to the buyrates 5 years earlier and (a side from 27) he wasn't even the only draw to them. Correction, WWE doesn't let those who are concussed or severely injured work. Punk worked without healing much from his meniscus tear. Cena was supposed to be out at least twice the amount of time he was actually out. Taker has an inoperable shoulder injury, which is partially why he is part time. Mark Henry and Big Show are known for getting injuries in the middle of storylines and cutting them short as a result. Again, how selfish and unprofessional must he be if he seemingly has been asking for an extended break for a while now only to get a week off from competing? He may have stayed if he was going into a main event storyline, but it seemed that he was being slated to fight Kane which to me is not worth staying as Kane is no threat at this point. Would you have honestly wanted Punk vs Corporate Kane? People have left for much less. People need a break from their job every once in a while especially when they don't feel that they have been preforming near their usual level and when they feel under-appreciated. He was burnt-out and tired of waiting for a break in both senses. Make a 2 minute clip so people like you can ridicule him for not appearing live? LMAO! Waste. But yes....he is VERY busy. He spent close to a year doing Hercules, immediately went to Fast 7 and now prepping for San Andreas, WHILE reshooting for Fast 7. WM always draws as far as buy rates go. Rock appearing isnt garner more a whole lot more in PPV buys. And comparing buyrates from 5 years ago to today....is an unfair comparison. This era of pro wrestling is down. Attendance is down overall at these shows. So saying that the numbers are close.....well thats a HUGE plus. Thank you for helping my side of the argument. Dude, dont believe all these stories you hear about time frames. WWE exaggerates that stuff for storyline. DB isnt really injured. He didnt need to miss Raw. Its called selling a story. You still fail to understand the difference from hurt and injured. Injured means you cant work. If you can work....its means you're hurt. How the hell do you know if Punk has asked for an extended break?! Thats insane. He might have. He might not have. But you have NO knowledge of this. As far as him staying to fight Kane....it doesnt matter if he is fighting Kane or he is in the Divas match. He is CONTRACTUALLY obligated to appear. He knows that. He signed that. His contract doesnt read he can leave if he doesnt like his opponent at WM. He didnt have to sign that deal, if he had issues with the way it read. He chose to sign it. He knew what he was getting into. And he accepted those conditions. Those are facts. As far as my question.....I cant repeating it over and over in each post, but you just neglect to read it or choose not to respond to it. But like I said....I believe the latter. You know it and I know it....he would be at WM if he was in the main event and these excuses for being burnt out, hurt, injured....etc would all be just.....excuses. You can have the last word. My argument stands on its own merits supported by facts. You keep talking in circles making excuses. Unlike you, I'm not excuse his behavior. I'm gonna accept it for what it is. I love watching Punk perform. I know I will see him back in WWE. But I've lost a lot of respect for him as a person. 2 things: First, by saying he was never "leaving" again The Rock meant he wasn't going to shy away from his WWE background. Remember, when he went to Hollywood he dropped everything WWE and never acknowledged what made him a star in the first place. All he was saying was before I was Dwayne Johnson, movie star I was The Rock, WWE Champion. I'm not going to forget where I came from again. Second, regardless of Punk's reasons he should not have up and left. CM Showstopper isn't saying he wants him to perform irregardless of his health or anything, but he should have asked for the time off instead of just up and leaving. If he can't get medical leave either from Vince or from a doctor, then he can't be injured bad enough that he can't continue on. I was a big Punk fan, and like others have said he's been pretty forgetable since Summerslam, but you don't just leave like that. QFT. Glad to see there is still some common sense left concerning Rock saying he would never leave again.
