CM Punk fans: GROW UP!!

[TheOneAndOnlyGOAT]

I'm 100% sure confident that cm punk wouldn't have left if he didn't know his fans were going to "hijack" shows for him.
Congrats. Keep doing what you're doing cm punk fans.
It's weird seeing adults acting like a 6 year old going on a picnic, all you're doing doesn't make you look like rebels or outlaws, it's just make you look like a desperate cheap ex girlfriend with no self respect that got broke up and is still begging to save the relationship.

Cm punk has walked out on the company and on his fans.

And the worst thing is that he didn't even ANY reason to why he left.

Why would you chant for CM Punk when you don't even know the story. Cm punk has a twitter account.

All he needs is a minute, two minutes, heck five minutes to clear up everything yet he doesn't want to. Why?

He doesn't owe the fans anything? He doesn't owe the company he worked for ? Yes he does owe them at least working until his contract expires.

Doesn't he owe them at least a reason as to why he left?


Cm Punk has absolutely NO reason to leave WWE.

He was being booked like god, he main evented back to back ppvs with the rock, rock put him over on their first promo, he let him slap him and spit in his face at elimination chamber, he pinned him at the royal rumble, he held the wwe title for 434 days, he beat the entire roster miz del rio bryan ziggler kane cena big show ryback during that reign, he beat Chris Jericho at wrestlemania, he faced taker at wrestlemania for the streak, they brought back Paul Heyman (arguably the greatest manager ever) and let him be his manager, punk was undefeated in all of his ppv matches in 2012, first wrestler ever to win 10 ppv matches in one year, he closed the historic raw 1000 episode, he interrupted jr's appreciation night, he interrupted ric flair return at the slammy awards, he interrupted bret hart's return to Montreal, he interrupted Vince mcmahon, slapped him in the face and faced him in a match on raw, he interrupted lawler's return after he got a heart attack, he exploited lawler's heart attack as well as Paul bearer's tragedy, he feuded with Lesnar and BROCK LESNAR couldn't beat punk without interference from Paul Heyman, he feuded with triple h and Kevin nash, he beat fandango big e ryback axel everyone, he beat the two top stables in wwe right now including a 3 ON 1 WIN AGAINST THE SHIELD!!!! He beat billy Gunn and attacked road Dogg, beat up both the new age outlaws in five minutes or something, they brought back Roddy piper and say "the only person that can hang with me on the mic is cm punk" or something like that.


I have NEVER seen wwe push a guy the way they were doing with punk, and just failing.

They want us so bad to make us believe he's a star but the truth is he's not nor will he ever be.

His whole rise to stardom was based on complaining and whining.
He became a top star by threatening to leave the company.
What kind of a man does that?
Now he's doing the same to get a WM main event?
He's using his power in the company to get what he wants, that's using backstage politics.


The Cenas, the Hogans, the Hunters... that you internet fans hate for using backstage politics, well punk is doing the exact same thing.


Did punk leave because Batista is going to main event wrestlemania?
If so then he's extremely wrong.

Punk in no way shape or form deserved the WM main event this year, he didn't do anything special since Summerslam, it should've been the hottest star of 2013 eventing which is Bryan.

Is punk Bryan's advocate? No. Father? No. Husband? No.


Why do punk want to stick his big fat asss nose into this? Fans showed their displeasure at royal rumble, and most likely going to do the sane at wrestlemania if Batista main evented instead of Bryan. Punk had nothing to do with this.



It's incredibly annoying hearing those cm punk chants.

Show some respect to the guys that are working, putting their bodies on the line, missing times with their families to put on a show for you and most importantly let us enjoy the road to arguably the biggest wrestlemania ever, let us enjoy the rise of Titus O'neil and Cesaro, let us enjoy the feud between the shield and the wyatts, let us enjoy Bryan finally getting his revenge on the authority.

Cm punk fans stop ruining our entertainment especially for a guy who seems as he wants to rest and doesn't like being in WWE.

WWE will move on and punk will be easily forgotten. Bret hart was the top guy before he left in 97, warrior was almost number 1 and surpassed hulk Hogan in merchandise sales but wwf still let him go, the list goes on and on.



Chanting for cm punk won't bring him back, it'll just ruin our entertainment.

 

[lil steroid meat]

Didn't read all that shit but while it is disrespectful to the wrestlers kinda, it is their right to do whatever they want if they paid their tickets.

The chants are already kind of dead anyways and after the March 3rd Chicago show Punk probably won't even be on the WWE's radar.

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

Show some respect to the guys that are working, putting their bodies on the line, missing times with their families to put on a show for you

They are putting their bodies on the line and missing time with their family TO MAKE MONEY. They're not volunteers at a children's hospital for christ sake.

I can't stand this idea that the fans need to adhere to some kind of behavior code, and need to kiss the asses of the wrestlers like they're doing god's work or something.

 

[GuessI'mAMark]

If I remember correctly, neither Punk nor WWE have commented on the situation so as of right now we are judging off assumptions. With that being said, the disrespect shown towards CM Punk is unnecessary until we get substantial, verified, proof. And even then everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Back to your original point. Why should the fans stop cheering for someone they want to see? The day after Wrestlemania 29, Monday Night Raw was ambushed with chants and nobone thought it was disrespectful then, so why now? I've seen threads like these made a bunch of times and it seems as though some of you are letting your own personal feelings towards Punk decide your position on the current situation without facts.

But like I said before we are all entitled to our opinion. If you want to hate Phil Brooks(since you hate the actions of the man and not the character), that's fine. If fans want to interrupt any Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler matches that's fine too. If you pay to get entertained and you are entertained by disrupting a show then go at it.

 

[Dudeluv]

Agreed. The chants definitely are dying down. But people will chant what they will. I personally find it entertaining to see that lol. And I'm sure the superstars will be fine and not cry about having the fans chant cm punk for 5 seconds out of a 2 or 3 hour program. I'd like to have him back but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Respect.

lol ironically, cm punk never really care much about the fans. Heard some stories ,in person and on the web, that hes a douche when it comes to fan interaction.

Yes wrestlers get compensated for what they do but none of us could imagine what they put themselves through to earn a paycheck and entertain us.

Now let's switch gears a minute.

Imagine recently at your job a disgruntled employee decided to walk out of the company you work for.

Now imagine as your trying to do your job to the best of your ability and about 1,000 people are chanting the name of the employee that decided to up and leave.

How would that make you feel? Now imagine to do your job you had to be away from your family 6 days a week and you put your body through intense physical activitys on a daily basis? How would it make you feel?

Chanting CM Punk during segments and matchs that have no relation to what the chants are about isn't going to make WWE change anything...if anything it's gonna make them not return to that town for a TV tapeing...how long did it take wwe to return to Montreal for a TV tapeing after the screwjob? A good 7 years or so...and why was that? Cause they didn't want fans to hijack the show...it wouldn't surprise me if March 3rd is the last time we see a tv tapeing in Chicago for awhile which is fine by me because I think wwe has been kissing that towns ass alittle too much since there only known for cheering one person.

Seriously, what is with this over-sensitive, pseudo-sympathy for pro wrestlers who have to "endure" the fans chanting someone else's name?

How does it "make them feel"? I really don't give a shit. How would it make ME feel? I wouldn't give a shit. And I hope you're not trying to compare the job of being a pro wrestler to a "normal" job. Normal jobs don't have thousands of fans there to begin with.

Is the *****fication of society now creeping its way into worrying about how wrestlers feel about fans chanting someone else's name??

Get over yourselves. The level of self-importance around these parts is astounding. Some have taken it upon themselves to be the "moral authority" who tell fans what they should or shouldn't do. It is comical.

Chanting for cm punk won't bring him back, it'll just ruin our entertainment.

You make an excellent argument. To a vast element of the IWC, CM Punk is a sacred cow. But to add a big to the discussion:

Punk held a coveted spot in WWE, but he walked away 30 minutes before live TV. I know, I know, the counter is the old "Austin took his ball and ran", so that somehow gives Punk cover. But there is one glaring difference. Austin earned the right to buck Vince McMahon and to demand favorable booking. He did more for WWE than WWE did for him. The opposite is true of Punk. WWE did more for Punk than Punk did for WWE.

Vince McMahon is all about business and money. If others draw better than Punk, those people should main event WrestleMania. Punk should be featured, but not headlining. The WM main event is for the marquee, the cash cows, and wrestlers anointed to grab the torch. Punk does not have the upside of a Roman Reigns, a Bray Wyatt, or even a Big E. Punk is good, but he is neither the future of the business nor the top dog of today.

In a contest between the sacred cow and the cash cow, the cash cow will always win.

 

[spg]

the raw after wm doesn't really count, it's full of us british fans that come over for a drink, a good couple of wrestling shows and a good time in the US, it's the most non wwe show of the year, because it gets properly hijacked by drunken wrestling fans, we'd all love to be there and be drunk

 

[The Eighties]

Another CM Punk thread from a guy that has a clear bias against Punk, for fucks sake who cares what the fans do, just watch the matches and don't worry about it, it's not as if the Punk chants are hijacking that much anyway and even if they weren't fans would just chant JBL and Lawler's name over the stuff they don't care about anyway.

WWE coveted a rowdy, free thinking anti authority mindset and sold it to their fans in droves, now it's coming back around on them as fans rebel against some of the stuff they do, sometimes you reap what you sow.

As far as Punk goes, we don't even know the ins and outs of what has gone down considering sites like this one have reported a dozen different versions most likely just made up by them and their other newz cohorts, but most reports indicate Vince values and likes him, I mean he's hardly sticking it to him by sending his girlfriend home for a week off to keep him company.

Don't be at all surprised if he shows up on March the 3rd and then they say it was a work all along even if it's really a shoot that became a work, there's more disinformation than ever when it comes to wrestling these days, it's the way to combat the net. Either way stop hijacking the forum with threads about a guy who's not in the WWE, it's so disrespectful to the other wrestlers we could be posting about.

 

[Eyebrows]

I walked out of my job two years back. Why? It was getting so stressful that it was ruining my physical and mental health. It was exhausting, it left me so tired that I couldn't do anything on the weekends except recuperate. I dreaded getting up in the morning and that dread intensified each morning the closer I got to that drab, grey monster of a building. Never work for the government, people.

I can completely see why, if Punk is emotionally and mentally tired and if his body is battered and bruised he is well within his right to walk away. It isn't childish, it isn't disrespectful to the fans or the company he works for. Sometimes you have to put yourself first. This whole idea about turning your back on the fans is bullshit. Wrestlers might owe the fans something, but they don't owe you half as much as you think they do. They don't live their life for you and they aren't there to cater to your every whim. It's the same bullshit that people throw at The Rock. 'Oh, he left, he turned his back on us'. Get over yourself. It reminds me of people saying that Bob Dylan turned his back on fans when he went electric and calling him Judas. It just reeks of entitlement. People go in with preconceptions about these people that they see on TV, who they don't know, then get mad when people don't live up to some image they've conjured in their head about how a professional wrestler should and shouldn't be.

Punk was clearly a star. You're deluded if you think he wasn't.

As for the chants...people have a right to be vocal. They're not at the Vatican. I don't remember people having much problem when the fans were chanting for Daniel Bryan when he was first fired. Did that not ruin your enjoyment of the show, or is it different because you like Bryan and dislike Punk?

Punk is good, but he is neither the future of the business nor the top dog of today.

Oh yea! How have Randy Orton or Batista done anything to main event the biggest Mania ever?! Punk did more for the WWE than those two individuals ever could, just look at the talent that is leading us into the future. Punk has been the second or third highest merch seller in the company the last three years.

 

[Slash-LN]

The guy doesn't owe anyone an explanation for why he left.
Why does it bother you that people want to chant his name? Really they aren't even hijacking the show. A little chant starts and then fizzles out pretty quickly.

Steve Austin walked out on the company at one point in his career and people still used that damn annoying "What" chant for years. They didn't care that at some point in his career he walked out. And anytime he comes back he gets a great response.

HBK walked out at one point in his career and people got over it. Fans may not have been chanting HBK when he left but people stayed loyal to him and cheer him whenever he comes back. People aren't online being whine asses about that.

Christian never said exactly why he asked for his release to go to TNA but people didn't turn on him and bitch about it. People were welcoming of him when he came back to WWE.

Wrestlers leave companies. They have zero obligation to tell us why they leave. It's none of our business.

Why bitch about the people who still want to chant their name?

People still chanting E C Dub is more pointless to me but I don't need to whine about it.

 

[Ryan Edwards]

I'm a CM Punk fan, I would love to see him come back to the WWE and I'd love to see him get a main event spot at WrestleMania someday, I think it could be great. With that said, I think it was disrespectful for him to just walk away from the company. No one should do that, especially a guy in his position. Loved by fans, MITB winner twice, involved with Cena, HHH, Lesnar, Rock, Taker, Jericho and so on. Held pretty much every title. To me, he didn't have much to complain about.

I'm still not sure of all the details and I still kind of hope that this is some weird work that only he and Vince and/or Triple H know about but it is what it is.

As for the fans chanting CM Punk at the shows, it's their right to cheer because they have bought the tickets. They are the ones attending the shows. Now, would I personally join in those chants? No. But I understand why some people do.

In the end, I wouldn't worry about it because the chants are dying down and the show must always go on.

Man your either so far gone into cm punk fanboyism or your just too stupid to understand what I'm trying to say.

Regardless if you wanna say it's over sensitive or not it's bs that crybaby cm punk fans wanna try to bring people down just because there daddy made a mess in his pants and had to go home to mommy.

 

[streicher187]

Punk was an ass in person and I'm not surprised at all that he would run home crying if he didn't get what he wanted..

The WWE is better off w/out him and now they can put the spotlight on someone who cares about the business and the fans. The only person more delusional than Punk are his fans who worship him no matter what he does. He was average at best on the mic and decent in the ring but he is no one that you can build a company around.

When Stone Cold walked out he was still a huge draw and they were right to want him back, Punk is a glorified mid card act and won't hurt the bottom line, hell the chants don't bother Vince or HHH at all because those people chanting already paid their money. So WWE is laughing all the way to the bank.

Would I release him? No I would make him be a man and honor his contract and when he comes crawling back have him job to the Brooklyn Brawler or one of the divas. IF he tried to show up on TV w/ any other company I would file a lawsuit as fast as he quit. He walked out on the fans and his job he deserves NO respect and has NO honor.

 

[dman1373]

Chanting for cm punk won't bring him back, it'll just ruin our entertainment.

It wont bring him back, but to see fans hijack the show is pretty entertaining, at least its more entertaining then the shit show that they book. The booking of wwe has gotten so bad that I haven't watched the show for 3 monthes other than some clips if I here there is a good segment.

 

[occ2]

Red Sox fans: don't boo the Yankees when they're in town - those guys are out there putting their bodies on the line, JUST TO ENTERTAIN YOU!

NBA fans: don't tell a referee that he made a stupid call. The officials are out there putting their self esteem on the line, JUST TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED!

Restaurant patrons: don't get angry with your server or the kitchen or the management because your food took an hour and arrived at your table cold. The staff are all out there sacrificing their weekends, JUST TO GET YOU DRUNK AND FED!

 

[tak161]

You know, I find it very funny how some people bash Punk for walking out, and then bash the crowds for chanting for him. It would be quite different if it was your guy they were chanting for. For months, people have chanted for Daniel Bryan, even in moments where he had nothing to do with what was being presented. Where was all the hate for that? Where was all the complaining about fans hijacking a show, chanting for the guy they wanted to see?

Clearly the people that have a problem with this don't like Punk. That's fine, you have the right to like who you want and hate who you want. But to degrade someone else for chanting for their favorite superstar is ridiculous. If you don't like Punk and the fact that he walked away, fine, but there's a lot of people who do like him and will support him no matter what.

As far as Punk walking out, no one knows the story. There are only a select few who know what is really going on and that is Punk, Vince, HHH, and most likely AJ. Until one of those people address the situation and explain what happened, there is nothing to be said about it. And Punk does not owe anyone anything, he does not have to explain it if he chooses not to. Whatever took place is his own private business. People walk away from jobs all the time and there is no explanation. When the time is right, everything will be revealed, we just have to wait.

 

[enviousdominous]

I'm torn in a way. I've been a CM Punk mark since his ROH days, he just always struck me as a smaller guy with more fight in him than anyone else on the roster. I'm also a Chicago native (mark), so I'll admit that I'd probably be a lot less harsh to John Cena if he was from the north side of Chicago.

I won't excuse his behavior, even though I'll admit that a lot of his other fans choose to do so. CM Punk's run was mandated, based on my assumption, because the show was drowning in lackluster John Cena feuds. Cena took on R-Truth before defending the title against CM Punk, not exactly a marquee worthy main event. John Cena dropping the belt to CM Punk was a situation where someone who defies the traditional rules of pro-wrestling loses the belt to someone who defies the traditional rules of pro-wrestling. CM Punk's pipe-bomb was the equivalent to a stand up comedian giving a table full of hecklers the Bill Hicks treatment.

CM Punk planted a seed in the minds of some pretty fragile fans, kind of like what John Cena did when he was coming up and chose to express his character through *ugh* battle rap. Whether the "pipebomb" was a brilliant piece of impromptu commentary or a carefully crafted moment to dupe the fans is irrelevant, it worked even if Punk didn't mean a single thing he said.

Honestly, I don't respect Punk for leaving. I don't respect Austin for leaving. I don't respect people who just up and leave because they couldn't have things their way. The chants will linger periodically because for all of Punk's faults, he was still a Hell of a better entertainer than Cena or Orton. I personally won't participate in any CM Punk chants, I don't like to heckle entertainers even if their names are John Cena or Randy Orton.

Heckling is contagious, it's an example of the negative version of the group think fallacy. Against your better reasoning, you chant in favor of CM Punk mainly because you're encouraged by the rest of the crowd.

Does it ruin the show for me to hear CM Punk chants? Hell no. I've been through enough distractions in my life, it's not like they're egging my car. CM Punk chants are only irritating in that I'm trying to allow myself to be entertained by what's happening in the ring, and the chants are mildly distracting. The same could be said for almost any chant, but I prefer them to be applicable to the performers in the ring.

Except for this commentary on my part, I'm mostly over CM Punk. If he came back, I'd cheer, I'll admit it. For now I'm satisfied that I have Cesaro, Bryan and Ambrose to cheer for.

There's a big difference when fans chant for Daniel Bryan during a match he has no connection to when fans are just expressing there opinion that they would rather be seeing him then what's going on Ine the ring.

When fans chant for some.popcorn fart who walked out of the company just so they can say "look daddy I was on TV I bet I made HHH so mad when I did that!...daddy why are you touching me there...daddy noooo!"

Anyways I'm glad the jackass is gone and I truly hope wwe doesn't bring him back he has nothing to offer except backstage gossip.

 

[Dudeluv]

Man your either so far gone into cm punk fanboyism or your just too stupid to understand what I'm trying to say.

Regardless if you wanna say it's over sensitive or not it's bs that crybaby cm punk fans wanna try to bring people down just because there daddy made a mess in his pants and had to go home to mommy.

Don't get all sensitive on this cuz I ain't trying to put you down bro but what he said was right it is straight up over sensitive people taking it outta context lol. I get your point of view and that you hate the decision cm punk made and what not. But not everyone thinks the way you do and if people wanna cheer for punk that's their prerogative and it's not because their trying to bring people like you down either lol sayin shit like that makes you sound like someone who's "trying to bring people down just because there daddy made a mess in his pants and had to go home to mommy"... Take it easy Holms

 

[sTyLnK]

Between being burnt out, injured and frustrated with how things are being run, he had enough. At least that's what it looks like to me. Was it unprofessional of what he did? Yes. Is he right in that he's tired of part timers coming in and being handed the top spots when everyone else busts their asses off the entire year? Yes. He has stated many times that he wants change. He wants the future to be in big PPV's like WM, not sitting on the side lines. But Vince wants his precious precious buy outs and damn every one else.

 

[James]

I'm not reading anything because OP has made at least 8 threads about CM Punk ever since the news of him walking about broke.

He's just looking for attention and nothing more.

Your title is ironic.
