Ex-Girlfriend Says CM Punk Has Retired, Barely Leaves Home

... But despite what the dirtsheets say, that's all speculation. Punk has never came out and said any of that.

Do you really think Punk cares that Lesnar ended the streak and he didn't? That's silly.

Punk has gone out and said that this is and should be Daniel Bryan's year, and thought that he should be champion.

And last but not least, I highly doubt he would have jobbed to HHH. And again despite what the dirtsheets say I don't even think he was going to go against HHH. I think the card was suppose to look like this: Batista vs Orton, HHH vs Bryan and Kane vs Punk.

There is very little that could be added to that statement but I would like to.

Anyone that has the creativity to write music that moves others, has the imagination to act well enough to be cast in movies, or just anyone with the ability to excel at something on a grand stage is not a "normal" person on many levels. Some get so wrapped up in what they're doing they end up like Whitney Houston, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and countless others.

Sometimes you get others still like an actor that thinks filming a movie is harder then our soldiers fighting a war, or an actress saying that having a child and filming a movie is harder then any stay at home mother has it. They can slowly or quickly become out of touch with reality. Stars aren't all bad, but some can be.

And they have the right to do and say what they wish, because in this country they have the right, and I don't begrudge them of it. However, they have to realize that the minute they become big enough, the camera gets turned on indefinitely. The only way Punk himself could have avoided at least a portion of this would have been to get an explanation out there somehow. Instead he dropped off the map and left it all up to speculation.

I've seen people that admire him for his actions. That's fine, I suppose. I admire those that make it big and use that status in a positive way. They accept that they will never lead normal lives and they donate time and money to help others less fortunate. Sadly, there are few.

New idea: He should start keeping really weird garbage.

"Why did Punk throw out a bag of doll heads of Skrillex haircuts?"

He's fine.

Oh and he'll be back.

Amen

The only thing, in my opinion, that Punk or any other wrestler owes the fans is
A)do the best they can to entertain us at the shows and
B)to be nice and polite at organized signings (like Wizard World, etc).
If they're out eating, in a airport, at a local sporting event, whatever, that's their time off. If a wrestler wants to interact with fans on their own time that's great. If they don't, I hardly think that makes them a douche or whatever else people want to call them.

I will admit I think it's stupid when celebrities complain about the fame. It's not like they didn't know that was a big possibility, but I also think it's stupid people think they have the right to approach them in public.

And I really wish people would quit acting like they know why Punk left. He hasn't come out and publicly said why, nor has McMahon or anyone else for WWE.

Oh well, that's my rant for today. Carry on and happy Friday

While people SHOULD NOT approach celebrities when they are out in public while doing things like eating or enjoying a night out, there is no law that states they must remain 50 feet away from famous individuals. They have the ability to do this at will until a judge declares it stalking. And again, I don't agree with it, but it's part of the freedoms we enjoy in this country.

Now, as far as why Punk left? C'mon now. He and the WWE are choosing to remain silent and leave the rest of us to speculate. Right, wrong or indifferent, that's how it is. But, too many people close enough to all parties involved have all said virtually the same things. The evidence is clear and to ignore it is to simply stick your head in the sand on hope for a better story that makes the man who is CM Punk an innocent victim of something that doesn't exist.

You are 100% right. They do have that freedom. I just think that to label someone a douche because they don't want to interact with fans on their own time is ridiculous. I got to meet Punk at a convention during his title reign and he was very polite and even a little talkative. It was a place where he agreed (and, granted, was paid) to be and to interact with fans. Some people (not referencing you) just don't see the distinction between that and approaching someone at an airport.
As far as the speculating, I do the same thing. I have my own theories just like everyone else, I just don't like "we all know he left because..." We don't know. It's just an opinion on why he left. One person says Punk was in a lot of pain everyday. One says he was burned out. One says he left because he was going to have to fight HHH. One says he was jealous of Bryan. One says he was mad he didn't end the streak. I'm not sticking my head in the sand. There's just too many differing stories out there.

By no means do I think Punk is a victim, innocent or otherwise. I'm just saying no one knows for sure.

I didn't hear that but I heard that Paul Heyman's client Cesaro won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
