CM Punk, one of the WWE's biggest stars, appears to have retired from the company, reportedly telling bosses he is 'going home', being removed from future wrestling events and thanking fans for their 'support' on Twitter.
The wrestler has had numerous run-ins with the promotion's chairman Vince McMahon in the past and it seems an undisclosed straw broke the camel's back on Monday night, with F4WOnline.com reporting that Punk – real name Phillip Jack Brooks – announced that he was going home ahead of an edition of weekly show RAW.
Punk missed this scheduled appearance and also his next at a Smackdown event in Toledo, Ohio the following day, with his name having now been removed from all future events (bar Elimination Chamber) on the WWE website.
This comes just weeks before the promotion's biggest annual event, Wrestlemania, which will take place in New Orleans on April 6.
damn y'all im legit sad about this but i am ALSO excited about THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER
and if you read the smackdown spoilers or if you watched smackdown and then read this OP then you'll know why!
oh and talk about other wrestling promotions that i don't know about too!

Also everyone watch National Pro Wrestling Day on Saturday at 1 pm. It's for free on YouTube and there might be some major developments in the whole Chikara clusterfuck plus a bunch of great matches. Just go to http://nationalprowrestlingday.com and the stream will be there.
He is the reason I watch on Monday nigmiss a now instead of like Wednesday when I get home from work.
He took a product that was as a stale as can be and made it exciting And something that you have to tune in to live so you don't mind thing.
That being said I don't really understand what he is upset about?
Because it can't be his booking...
This time 2 years ago he was champion for 2 or 3 months and the top guy in the company.
This time one year ago he had just dropped the title to the rock after b being champion for over a year and the longest reigning champion in 20 years
Then he gets a main event program with The Undertaker at mania and a main event program against Brock Lesnar at summer slam
So what is the problem exactly? He has been booked and treated better than everyone in the company the last 2 years
So a few months of bad booking and he is "fed up?"
If the problem is he is tired and burned out than sure take the time you need but if he is unhappy with his booking I cannot support him on that venture
Yeah I should have mentioned that as well. Every little bit helps.
We'll probably find out at the Chicago Raw right after EC.
It's probably a combination of things. He's tired, he's been hurt since Mania and got re-injured at least once in the last two months, had only one month of rest before this, is immediately coming off fan outrage at his friend being pushed aside for a full-timer (who's admittedly only there for 2 years) coming back for an immediate title shot/win, and was at the moment booked for a feud with the worst version of Kane in his career that would lead up to a (likely) loss to Hunter at Mania. Add in the fact that (as I mentioned in the previous thread) even in the Helwani interview last week, it was apparent that he was depressed at how pretty much all of his efforts in 2011 amounted to nothing at worst, a temporary change that shortly after regressed back to the sad norm at best. Plus the fact that his contract (which is still going despite him walking away) ends in July.
This is one of those situations where it was not one thing that resulted in his decision, it was numerous things that built up to the point where he just said "I need to go". And as bad as him going is, he's one of the few people in wrestling who is smart with his money. He's been in the business a while, and the WWE for a while. Financially, he no longer needs them. He could retire right now and be good (and he's even said numerous times he doesn't want to still be going in wrestling when he's 40, which isn't too far off).
Steam
they must take an oath or something
the crazy wrestlers get the benefit of the doubt because of this
but I think all the crazy run-ins balance that out kinda

His contract's up in July. If he's not back at EC or that Raw, he's likely not at Mania, and if he's not at Mania, he's not coming back. Obviously mindsets could change between now and a few weeks (like that first time Austin walked out and came back a few weeks later), but right now it doesn't look too good.
It didn't help that WWE is being vague (whether intentional or not) about Mania and PPV pay, which could genuinely fuck over their workers depending on if they need bonuses. Right now if you're a WWE superstar, there pretty much is a lot to complain about between non-regular workers getting the attention, the same guys getting the belts and main events, the fans revolting in two shows in under a year now and booing you just because you aren't somebody else, and PPVs being treated like TV in terms of pay and bonuses possibly being eliminated altogether once the Network hits.
Physically he's not, and I may have neglected Katie Vick-story Kane in that post (which granted isn't his fault), but I don't know what to tell you if you honestly like Suited Kane more than Anger Management Kane.

Seems like he reached that point, and more power to him. More people need to know when to let go.
or he wants to be a part of the Blackhawk's current playoff run
either way when Sheamus ran out with Bryan and Cena it did make me ask what happened to Punk
Steam
The thing is Punk being gone just means the opportunity for another guy to step up in his place.
Fixed that for you.
Well they do still have RVD.
Fixed that for you.
I feel like if I started doing that, it would be the only thing I ever got to post in this thread.
This does make re-watching Punk's pipe-bomb sad.

That's not sad, it's the wrestling business as a whole.
CP Munk!
WWE has been quoted as saying
"You'll go nuts over him".
And his tag team partner...
Too soon.

I'd say it's official at this point.

Not a day before though they reported Bryan might win the title at EC and be put in the main event with Randy and Dave so who knows what the fuck will happen now. Don't forget the rumors before of Bryan and Sheamus as well.
But if this isn't a work, then I can't really muster up a lot of sad that he's leaving either. He had a great run.
