    wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…. CM Punk was not at the WM29? The guy who constantly reminds everybody on the internet, twitter, and RAW how this is his passion and he’s the only guy around who still makes the sacrifice of going the extra mile and whenever he does something special or out of the way for the business, he MAKES THE POINT TO LET IT BE KNOWN what he did. The same guy that randomly decided to intervene in the Rock/Cena feud to bash the Rock about how he does nothing for the business anymore and only comes back when its convient for him and his schedule? The same guy who said it makes him sick to his stomach to know that the Rock will be main eventing WM28, in his hometown, to wrestle in a match that the internet has been discussing for 6 years? Now the Rock shows up the this press conference to promote the show, and Punk, after finally achieving what he has been complaining out and that is being a certified champion and the face of the company, skips out of this press conference to do whatever he wants on his free time?
    This isn’t meant for hatred towards Punk, but Jesus Christ when you constantly complain about what everyone else does, but praise yourself whenever you do something… you better do everything and make every appearance if you’re going to be that overly opinionated

    @cakes- Seriously man take a chill pill!!! So CM Punk has bitched and moaned about how much sacrifice he has done for the company. So he misses a press conference. These guys get like 100 days of the year off the road absolute tops Im sure we can give the dude a day off every now and again.

    Plus the Walking Dead is the best TV show on at the moment next to Dexter imo.

    I’ll give cakes credit for his point, but honestly, I don’t give a damn who shows up at a press conference.

    If we’re going to discuss TV shows, then I’m a throwing in a shameless Breaking Bad promotion plug.

    I sincerely hope that that’s what at least Bryan was watching.
