The following is an open letter to CM Punk, and is there purely to create and divide opinion on these forums. I know the whole 'CM Punk left' thing has been done to death, but this is a different angle. I apologise in advance to the mods if this is in the wrong place:
Unlike a lot of other people, I'm not upset.
You had you're reasons and I appreciate that. I have been a wrestling fan for almost twenty four years now and I have seen them come and go, and you are up the list of wrestlers with whom I considered the best in the business. That is just my opinion.
The fact that you held the WWE Title for 434 days in this day and age is a true tesitment to how you were perceived with the WWE and you were obviously a main event player. Hell you still are. Despite what people say, I believe that a 'main event' includes the WWE Champion and whomever his challenger is, and not who goes on TV last. I have never lived by that fact. The main event of SummerSlam 92 was the Ultimate Warrior Vs Randy Savage, and not Bret Hart Vs The British Bulldog. That is my belief.
You're time in the WWE is summed up by most fans as the moment you were given an open mic to air you're issues with the company in 2011. While a lot of people followed you before that, that was the career defining moment in you're life I'm sure.
I guess the reason that I am writing this article to ask you for an explaination. An explaination for walking out. It could be as simple as saying you are hurt, and you need some time to heal, hell it could be that you are upset that you didn't go on last at Wrestlemania. Anything would do. You're fans want to know where one of their favourite personalities has gone. Putting aside all the IWC stuff, at my heart, I am still a kid watching wrestling. CM Punk may have been a Paul Heyman guy, but Scott Hammond was, and still is a CM Punk guy. You're the guy I chose as the guy who was the most like Steve Austin, during the last period that I actually truly cared about wrestling.
I will never know what you know, I will never see the politics and goings on in the back at WWE live events, so you hold the key to all that stuff. I just want any explaination you care to give as to why you walked out on me, and your fanbase.
We will still be there when you return. Because we are a loyal and sappy bunch at heart. I hope you find the time to tell people why you left, but if you don't, just know that we won't wait forever.
