I know its the only place to work to make a decent living but I don't see how any wrestler could be passionate about the business working for the WWE. The whole company from top to bottom seems extremely toxic. They sure put on a fake image of being a good company to work for. I wonder if the pay for the talent has changed due to the network. I'm curious if they are making less money now than before.
It's odd , they wonder why they don't get taken serious as a company . They stuck in they carny ways but trying to be a publicly traded company , and the irony is the only reason they get away with the shoddy ways they treat their employees is cause they aren't taken serious

Well this is what happens when one's fans can't defend him..they need comedy and deflections. In his case, it's not hard. He didn't draw. He didn't sell out anything. He didn't change the landscape. The CM Punk chants are cute...they sound rebellious, right? But it means nothing. We got a guy who got his pay up, wanted to win everything, sound like he wanted out long before this year, but just couldn't do it because the money was too good. He even had the nerve to say "sacrifice" by him getting to work with revered names...called Taker some 45 year old bytch basically. Lol. Like he didn't have the best match at Mania since WM 23 or some shyt. Alot of respect there, huh? Anyway..he's a done deal...he found some marks that bought into it. At least he didn't quit but he was still trying to make sure he won it all. It backfired and his gambit of trying to get to that point almost cost him his life. So kids..take heed in a lesson like this. Be a Rebel but be a smart rebel.

Man, at this point Punk believed he was in the same league with those guys. Whether you believe it or not, that is how he felt. I can't rock (pun intended) with him saying that WM is the draw and not the talent, but his dude sacrificed his health, physical and mental, for a shot to go on last during an event that showcases fake storylines.

When you're the sacrificial lamb to every part-timer on the roster, it takes a toll on you, especially when you know you're the most popular wrestler on the roster.

Old Brooklyn, word to @DPresidential
I dont like Punk and some of this shyt sounds like

, especially talking about his buyrates and Rock not being the draw, but I believe alot of what he's saying.

Their doctors sound like straight quacks, on some "rub some 'tussin on it and walk it off" type shyt.


I can see where he's coming from with the loses to Rock/Trips/Brock, and about basically being in limbo the night after but at some point you have to recognize that Vince is full of shyt :yeshrug:. When Vince keeps owing you one and not delivering for years, and you see that every time you face a big name/part timer you take the L, you gotta take responsibility for what comes with taking the match.

:russ: Ryback burying himself

I like Trips, but that ether was deserved

:stopitslime: at him calling people sheep for thinking he walked out when it took him 10 months to say anything.
