Legal Discussions Underway Over CM Punk's Inclusion in WWE 2K15

<< LINK REMOVED >> I logged in for the first time in like 7 years to reply to this. I do not understand people who say that no one should cheer for CM Punk because he 'walked out on the fans'. CM Punk became a household name in 2011 when he gave the 'pipe bomb' worked shoot promo that basically addressed all the frustrations of long terms fans, including myself, who weren't watching the product anymore. I sought out that promo as the first piece of WWE television I had watched since One Night Stand 2006 as TNA's overall product had been better. It was an Austin 3:16 moment and despite Triple H's efforts to halt how high he would go (losing to him on pay per view for no reason) and his eventual fall back into mediocrity on the Cena steam train backed by corporate office. Fast forward to Royal Rumble 2014, we were staring into the abyss of Batista (who was one of the reasons I stopped watching WWE television when he got a main event push in 2005) lifting the world title at Wrestlemania, a shitty feud between Kane and CM Punk and Daniel Bryan not even being in the Royal Rumble. It was a cluster **** that even Mick Foley said was bullshit. CM Punk walked out because the product despite his efforts sucked balls, and at this point it's still not great in the absence of Punk and Bryan. No one can blame Punk for walking out. He gave it his all for almost a decade and he didn't even main event a Wrestlemania while people just walked in, worked a few Raws and were world champs. Keep in mind they would have been getting paid more than him as well even though he is working 300 days a year. He doesn't need the money and he didn't like what they were doing with him so he walked. I think it's admirable.

<< LINK REMOVED >> His contract expired in July.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I haven't watched TNA in a while. They were averaging about 28 minutes of actual wrestling per two hour show. From the reports I've read, they are even worse now and are close to going out of business. Is that not true?

<< LINK REMOVED >> I hope that is true. It seems unlikely though. I doubt CM Punk would sideline his career for videogame marketing strategy.

<< LINK REMOVED >> He's good, but not great.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yup. He was out with buddies and they all got drinking tattoos. He doesn't drink, hence the Pepsi logo. It's been generic since 2010.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Watch his DVD/Bluray set "CM Punk: Best in the World" to see why the guy is great.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Oh wow, you have to go back to why WWE signed him to begin wih.

Baroque Lesnar should be on the cover. They don't call it cover art for nothing.

Check my avatar if you're confused :P @ahmad996

@ahmad996 The Wyatt Family should have been on the cover. But like usual they used great wrestlers as a catapult for Cena and ruined more good wrestlers for kids money. Look at what they did to Damien Sandow. Now he is a joke character.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Anyone on the cover other than Cena would have been better

<< LINK REMOVED >> You are only going to buy the game if CM punk is in it? I think that's a dumb reason to buy or not buy a game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Most of the "issues" he caused weren't even legit. There's only two or three verifiable occasions where he has caused genuine issues behind the scenes and one of those was as much down to WWE backing themselves into a corner as it was him.

Homey the clown, Don't mess around,
Even though the Man, Try to keep him down,
One day Homey will, Break all the chains,
Then he'll fly away, But until that day,
Homey don't play.
