    Raw in Chicago a month before Wrestlemania is too much of a coincidence.

    I don't know honestly...
    One hand I agree bc wwe story line is lacking,illogical, redundant and just down right stupid

    On the other hand punk was champ for a year...a full year... so how much right foes he have to complain about not being pushed

    Punk needs to step aside for a bit. If it is true and WWE cant come to an agreement with Punk and turn this all into a work, WWE can push Bryan to satisfy fans such as myself. He is the most over guy on the roster and the WWE needs to capitalize now and get him into a fued with Batista. Batista vs Orton is stale and Bryan needs to be added into the fold when a Cena and Batista will happen in the future.

    Punk is replaceable and HHH knows he has used the best out of Punk with his WWE championship reign. It is all politics right now. As much as I disagree with many of HHH's actions, I agree with him that Punk is replaceable. Bryan is still in the roster, 2 out of the 3 members of the Shield are experienced and great indy workhorses, one is being groomed as the next homegrown WWE superstar, Bray is being pushed, and WWE NXT churns talent out.

    Thanks to one of our readers for passing along the photo above and these notes from CM Punk's appearance at Comic-Con this past weekend.
    - Punk appeared to be in a great mood and excited about the weekend. He was obviously really tired, and did talk about how he's worn out. He joked about being ready to do nothing but sit on his couch.

    - He said that he's tired of traveling and never gets to see the places anyway since it's just going from one show to the next, without ever getting to do any touristy stuff.

    - He said that he's been really sick, especially from September through November of last year. He was basically having weekly MRIs and blood work done, but they can't figure out what's wrong. Visit Wrestling Inc.He noted that he started eating meat again and is starting to feel a little better, but still wasn't even close to 100%.

    - He called Batista a friend, but didn't feel that the time was right to come back because it Visit Wrestling Inc.was so unfair to take away the glory from the other wrestlers who work so hard every day.

    - He was frustrated with the direction that the company was going and felt that the writers weren't in touch with what the fans want.

    - He doesn't think that Sting should come to WWE because frankly, Visit Wrestling Inc.he doesn't have anything left in the tank and would again take away from the younger wrestlers.

    - He's interested in the UFC if his body is up for it, but right now he didn't think his body was in any shape for it. If he could get to feeling better, it might be an itch that he wants to scratch.

    - He's good money-wise, and hasn't really spent much so he's not worried about receiving a paycheck anymore.

    ? arent gonna stop watching WWE if Punk leaves WWE. In fact if Punk did go back to TNA, WWE fans would start tunrning on him and or treat him as irrevelant.

    I stopped watching. WWE has been going downhill for some time with ? wrestling fans in their attempt to get more casual wrestling fans and CM Punk was the only thing that kept me watching.

    Punk's departure is old news. Corporate knows they have a suitable replacement with Dean Ambrose. In my opinion Ambrose in the indies surpassed Punk on the mic in the indies. He will get his chance to show what he is capable of on the mic in the next few years.

    cm punk vs undertaker
    cm punk vs brock lesnar
    cm punk vs john cena(on raw)

    three reasons punk is far from replaceable, at least imo

    wwe may always be the main draw, but lets not act like punk wasnt one of the few bright spots amongst a lotta mediocrity

    Everybody is just a small part of the machine. They replace Hulk Hogan...so anybody is replaceable.

    Dude was a huge part of what kept people excited about WWE though.

    Said it before and I'll say it again. Punk passed up on an opportunity to end the streak when he left. But who knows. Maybe he left because he got word that Lesnar was going to be the one to end it. Either way, Punk's flaws just remind me too much of my own which is why I'm pretty sure he let his ego ruin a good thing.
