Former WWE champion and World Heavyweight champion CM Punk shocked the world by leaving WWE just after the week of Royal Rumble. The Straight Edge Savior who entered the Royal Rumble match no 1 and was eliminated by the director of operations Kane illegally, it was pretty cleared that the rivalry between would head towards the grandest stage of them all. But Punk really left the company in a bad situation as he left WWE in such a crucial moment.
Fans worldwide admit their disappointment all over in the social medias, everybody want Punk back. Even the audiences of the live shows of WWE irritated superstars by chanting CM Punk’s name, a little bit same type of incident took place last week on Monday Night Raw.
Current WWE superstars along ex wrestlers also admitted disappointment. Even Vince McMahon, the chairman of WWE is also very unhappy with shocking exit of the former world champion which he admitted recently.
Hardcore Legend Mick Foley recently spoke on Live Audio Wrestlingto promote his comedy show. He also talked about CM Punk’s exit and expressed his disappointment. Here are some highlights;
“The last time I touched base with him was after the Rumble and I don’t want to discuss what he said exactly. I’ll just say I wasn’t shocked when he decided to leave because he and I – there is a deep, mutual respect there and we like each other. I would say to him after I watched him at a house show and I would say “geez, you don’t have to work that hard every night” and he would say “if I didn’t I wouldn’t be here” and I respect the work ethic and I understand if you’re hurt and you’re not enjoying yourself that it’s not the place to be.”
“I would hate to see CM Punk turn into what I did where my philosophy became “good enough is going to have to be good enough” and it wasn’t that philosophy that helped me succeed, to get me into the WWE Hall of Fame and I kind of regret going through a few years where things had to be that way. I don’t think Punk wants anyone to see him at anything less than his best and I know he’d been frustrated for a while. He’s a pretty outspoken guy and in the end he’ll make the decision that’s best for him. What I said and I’ll repeat for you guys, if he can reconsider one thing it’s not to let whether or not he’s officially the main event dictate how good his match is. If he had a big match coming up at WrestleMania I would encourage him to at least think about taking advantage of that. In 2006, in no way, shape or form were Edge and I the main event of WrestleMania but we had a great match…I didn’t walk away from that WrestleMania thinking it was any less special because we weren’t the feature so that’s the only piece of advice I’d give him, not to let those words “main event” dictate how important the match is but if your heart’s not in it, it’s not in it.”
It is rumored that WWE is trying to bring CM Punk back. But we have to go on without counting CM Punk on the card. Because CM Punk does not want to come back to World Wrestling Entertainment ever after, and if the company keeps trying to bring him back and if these things go on, it is very much harmful for the image of WWE and the entire roster. Because WWE never do such things, they never chase behind one single wrestler like this. It proves how valuable Punk was for the company. But life goes on, whatever situation occurs, time never stops.
