I'll believe this is legit when Punk misses Wrestlemania. He's probably sitting at home laughing his balls off right now that the IWC is buying all of this.

So much to reply to but hopefully i'll hit most of the points I wanted to.

Not putting over Cesaro I can to some extent believe. If he did refuse to do it then I see it being down to the way match was being booked and nothing to do with Cesaro personally.

His comment about Sting I can agree with although I still want to see him in the WWE and the position The Undertaker is in, I don't believe a part timer facing him at WrestleMania takes away anyone's spot on the card as the people credible enough to face Taker will still make the card regardless.

I can totally understand his frustrations about Batista however the comment would hold alot more weight if it came from Daniel Bryan as it looks like he's the one who will be hurt most by it. I really do think they need to take a look at / re-evaluate the way they use these returning stars. It may be good for business then are there but when they've disappeared off again and you're back picking up the pieces.

The report about wrestling HHH at Mania being some sort of reward must have been joke. That aint no reward, it was just another uninteresting rematch being served up along with the other two that nobody really wanted to see.

There's still definitely a place in the WWE for Punk though, it just all depends on how well he's saved his money and how badly injured he is. If he truly is burnt out with everything and believes he can sit at home and do what he wants then he should totally do that. Sure he may not make the WWE the same amount of money that John Cena makes them but the guy has probably made them a significant amount and there will come a time when the WWE wants / needs him back and he'll have more leverage then he does now.

Is it a work? Who knows, but I can totally see it being either and regardless of which it is it's got people interested and talking about him. Initially I figured he was just left off of RAW to sell the attack from the Rumble.

Not sure how facing Triple H at Mania is a joke.....The biggest heel in the company, would guarantee you 3-4 segments a show heading up to the match and the match would be high on the card and get 30 minutes with cool entrances.

That would be positioned as the real main event because of the guy he would be working with....seems like the joke is on the guy passing that up.

They need to reinstate Byte This and hire Todd for one day to cover the punk calls like he did the TNA ones

Punk's been awful for a while now so I'm glad he's gone. If only Cena and co. would fuck off also. WWE may be interesting again.

If anything Punk just got Cena a raise and some perks. Want to know why he is loved by Vince? He didn't leave him, turn his back on him, or be an unprofessional dick like Austin, Punk, Hulk, Warrior, and Brock . Cena is without a doubt his greatest employee (that isn't Taker or family like Hunter).

I like how Batista isn't in your list of unprofessional dicks when he's one of the biggest ones. I'm also sure that Vince would take back Rock anyday but he turned his back on WWE too. And then when he came back Vince let him go over Cena on the biggest show of the year. Yeah, so much love there.

Cena went back over the next year lol.

And Batista even when unhappy finished his deal. In fact be signed an extension because their talent was low as his deal expired at the chamber. He has never bitched out and walked when contractual obligated

As it stands right now, Punk is still under contract. So he hasn't just pulled out of his deal. His contract goes until July so he could just be taking a break right now to cool off and come back in a month or two. They'll probably even run a story of it.

I'm just mad he decided to leave before I decide to get tickets for when Raw comes here in Feb. Could have at least waited till after that fuck.
