TP!

It's still not interesting as the Attitude Era/Monday Night Wars days, but I just cant stray away from it.

It's still fun. Most of the storylines are still entertaining.

You should start by watching Raw tomorrow. The entire main storyline just got shifted, it should be a good way to come back.

I'll watch WWE regularly once Kurt Angle returns. How's the  contract negotiation going?

Not sure about it. All I know is he wants a Brock Lesnar kind of contract and schedule and WWE said no to it.

In the meantime, the Network is free for another week. Survivor Series was great. The main event match was very unpredictable, the overall card was good, and you get to see Sting for the first time in a WWE ring. And you can watch it without paying. Give it a shot.

And no, WWE is not paying me to promote the Network. But a good deal is a good deal.

It's too bad it couldn't be the Wrestling network for $15 a month that would be awesome to get all the wrestling programs and ppv on one site and low fee. I'd go for that. I'm too neutral to subscribe to wwe.

Im an hour in. He's been talking about how many bad business dealings he's been in, wrestling injured and not having a long term plan for feuds. Which could be the case.

Is it real yet?
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Punk must still be delusional from all those concussions.

*Yes, you did quit. Took your ball and went home. You told HHH & Vince you were done & said goodbye out of the blue. If that isn't quitting, what is ?

*You worked a main event at Wrestlemania. For the past 15 + years, any opponent who went up against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania was main eventing. That's a huge match and opportunity. Why be ungrateful for that opportunity ?

*You're on the same level as HHH, Taker, Brock and Cena ? You truly believe they can't lace your boots ? That's horse pucky. I love the mind set, but you're lying to yourself.

*You don't like working for Vince, the organization, or how they do things.....but you loved cashing royalty checks. You loved it so much you went out and cleaned out your garage one day only to find one worth far more than 10k. What person with a brain leaves that sitting around ?

Concussions are real. Also, kids, don't do drugs.

For the record, I do agree with him about the medical stuff he brings up. If that staph infection story is true, that's disgusting. The rest of his story is bunk though.

Punk is right and WWE is at fault although I do believe he’s exaggerating. I say that because it seems like he wants to have his cake and eat it too and I reckon his attitude was a big contributing factor not only to the creative side of things but with the medical stuff. Everybody works hurt. They all do it. That doesn’t make it right but it’s the way WWE has always been. These guys know what the schedule is before they sign up. Again, I’m not excusing it but when you go into something knowing what you’re up against and still complain, it’s kind of a mute point. It does highlight just how severe the schedule is though and that's perhaps the most [dang]ing thing about the whole interview; WWE medical.

Being the 'best' in a subjective 'sport' is an issue in itself. It's not a real sport. He's so wrapped up in his own self that he doesn't realize what business he's in. He's obviously got a huge ego. I find it odd he says he's difficult to work with yet lays the blame on everybody else. That's insane.

The pay issue is another false narrative. Punk had a good what ? 2 years being 'the guy' ? How does that make him feel he's owed money like 20 year veterans ? HHH , Taker, Cena, the Rock ? Cena's closer to his status but he's been on top for a decade. Brock Lesnar is a special case in himself, & Punk's nowhere close to that level. He's nowhere close to being entitled to the same money & nothing he says can change that.

At some point you have to be grateful for the company setting you up for success. This person is nowhere near that and seems a bit self entitled.  That's a shame considering this company put him on the map. He wouldn't even have a comic gig without the company he's trashing.

Getting fired on his wedding day was poor, but wasn't his wedding day a secret ?
