Mid carders are trying to form a union

[DANJ!]

Punk did say, in an interview with Bill Simmons a few weeks after original "pipe bomb" promo, that the promo



He also said this:


So he believes in the cause, and he should theoretically have enough stroke to help at this point. If he wanted to, that is.

Bill Simmons isn't running a wrestling website. It's a mainstream sports website, and Punk wasn't "in character" at any point in the interview. All I'm saying is that if the promo was 100% real, as he claims, then this is a perfect opportunity for him to truly give a "voice to the voiceless" by leading this midcard movement.

He can't have it both ways. If he's just cutting a heel promo, that's fine. But don't go on a mainstream website out of character and claim the promo is 100% real unless you're gonna 100% back it up. I know he didn't directly say he was the savior for the midcard, but that would certainly be a cause his "100% real" character would be interested in.

But nowhere in there does he say shyt about a union or helping them get the pay they feel they deserve. He's talking about pushes and visibility and opportunities on TV. Even when he cut the promo on TV, he said nothing about getting wrestlers paid better. You're takin' one thing he said and applying it to something totally unrelated. Unless he said he'd lead a wrestlers' union against the company until everyone is fairly compensated, none of this falls on Punk.

Yeah I kinda forgot about the title of the thread in my comments.

I'm not so much talking about Punk forming and leading a union. I just think it would make sense for him to step up in support of the midcarders by speaking to Vince, if he's the guy he claims to be.

After reading about the meeting that happened, if I were in that position i.e Punk, Cena, I'm not sure I'd be the guy to lead this little faction. I said I thought Punk would be a shoo-in, it seems to fit his personality but I don't know the man so I may be wrong. However if none of these guys can stand up and air their grievances in a meeting how can they be counted on to stay the course in what would be an incredibly tumultuous affair. After all Punk has complained about things and been punished and then ultimately rewarded for being the guy that stood up, even when he's not been in a position to get away with it. It's one thing to need a leader but you have to let people know that you're there to be led and if you can't say it in a meeting and damn the consequences, then you can't be trusted to have the guts to go the whole way and make this thing happen.

While now one spoke up, one talent stated the following…

"They just fired Abraham Washington and then ask us to speak up in front of the locker room. We may as well ask to be released!"

Whole thing is kind of funny when you think about it. Grown damn men resorting to twitter whining and talking in code and behind back..doing everything in their power to avoid the boogeymen of Vince and Steph. Slinking around like insects. How can people like that look themselves in the mirror? I have no idea whatsoever.
