CM Punk returns to WWE - discussion thread

[Kross Rhodes]

the fact he is a hypocrite for one, obviously. that he is a sell out and doesn't actually stand for what he claims to believe. etc. etc.

feel free to chime in though

This wasn’t in the post that I was originally responding to so I’m just gonna bow out. I’ve said from the very beginning punk is probably not a good guy in real life. That has zero Impact on if I’m entertained by him when he’s on the screen, though.

So you gotta fill me in. And I’m being 100% legit, cause I don’t know anything about your claims. What makes him a hypocrite and a sell out? Legitimate question.

He'll just scream "REFUTED!!!!" and act like you're targeting him because this whole thing has unhinged more than usual.

To be fair, he’s openly said he’s just looking for reactions. And he’s getting them so it’s working.

you could seek out his aew promos when he got there
what he said on the cabana podcast
what he said for years after
the saudi tweet
then on to his behavior during the grip bomb
all the leaks he put out there while complaining about being slandered in the sheets
complaining about people shooting on him while continuously shooting on people

I could post a lot more, but I don't really feel like writing an essay right now. maybe at some other point. There's a lot of reason why a lot of people including fans of his feel like he is going to come off like a massive phony. All depends how you feel about it though, some people don't care and that's fine too.

I'm just saying though, nothing of what I said that's negative about Punk is a lie.

and that reinforces my point. everything I said is correct, your fandom of the guy just trumps any of his actions. My fandom for him does not.

I'd argue that's what Punk does, too. There's always method to my madness.

 

[Cwalker]

I personally consider myself in the camp of guys that don't care.

He’s a draw and there’s a lot of good potential matchups. Plus I think he’s under much management now so I think the episodes will be kept to a minimum.

Never been a huge fan of the guy, but I won’t deny that he’s good for business.

No one says you have to be a fan of his. You also don’t have to actively go out of your way to like constantly post about how much you think he’s a shit lol, but regardless the original post I was responding to you alluded to him being a diva because he didn’t turn heel which there’s absolutely no basis for that foundation whatsoever.

As for CM punk’s actions are fairly benign if you go back 20 years and see all the dark side of the ring tales. Not to mention Batista and Booker and Jericho used to get into fights and go back to work. Hopefully Punk will learn and it he don’t, he’ll tarnish his legacy further. It is what it is.

 

[Daddy Deville]

As to knight stuff like I said I fully think it's him and Paul at mania

This really is his last shot to fix his reputation. Which is funny cause I think a lot of us thought that when he debuted in AEW.

But let’s say his contract is 3 years, and he goes the entire time without an incident, I think that screams volumes

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Punk is a diva for not turning heel and starting his own island . Disagree all you want. Khan is an idiot for doing it to.

I will continue to speak the truth about Fraudulent Phil until he inevitably steps on his own dick. Weak mind, weak body, weak spirit.

It’s 1000% his last opportunity. He’s not going anywhere else. And even if he tried to go to Tna after flaming out there’s no fucking way.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

And i will also continue to do so without resorting to personal attacks so at worse ull just be slightly annoyed
