    I wish Terry Funk did. That would have been really neat.

    Might be why WWE let him go without a fight if Punk told them he was retiring.

    He seems pretty happy based on the interview and looked as miserable as could be the last few months he was in the WWE so it might be legit.

    This may or may not be true, but please bear in mind that the Red Eye is a tabloid which routinely labels countries incorrectly on the half page that they devote to foreign "news."

    Good riddance. Maybe now people will wrap their heads around the idea that he left of his own accord and stop chanting his name as though it's going to change anything.

    Wrestling retirements are always serious. It's a shame this means the end of his career.


    But seriously, if it's the end of it, more power to him for walking out healthy and on his terms before he ends up being a mess who's one tweak away from a serious health/injury issue.

    Mike Johnson just reported the following:

    "As we expected when they were mentioned earlier today, WWE has removed CM Punk and AJ Lee from their talent list for the 7/29 Smackdown taping in Corpus Christi, Texas."



    Wonder if AJ is done too

    I also wouldn't be surprised if Punk just didn't feel like correcting them when they said retired.

    Wrestling retirements and Arn Anderson's word: two things that are never, ever broken.

    Yeah. For all we know he is fucking with people who expect a return at Payback

    As a big CM Punk fan, I'm surprised at how little I actually miss him on WWE TV.

    Who needs Punk when you have Adam Rose, Alicia Fox, and Torito.

    They'll bring her back in a second if she wants to, no matter what she does with Punk.

    Hope he's/they're happy, though both are still listed on WWE's Roster page (but Bo Dallas, for one, isn't, so it is obviously due for an update).

    I think people would be so much better with it if he just made an announcement, sent out a tweet, SOMETHING to let the fans know what's going on. It's the fans who bought tickets and merchandise that allow him to live the lifestyle he's currently enjoying.

    If they get married she'll be fine. All she has to do is divorce him. He'll be forced to come back to work and she can stay at home and get alimony.

    To be fair, he did. He said he's retired and enjoying being retired.

    Pretty much Jack Brisco is the only one that ever retired and had it stick. I guess Shawn Michaels too.

    They did a list about how much money the Divas are worth and AJ wasn't doing too badly on that list.

    Bo Dallas's deafening crowd reaction on RAW this past Monday blew out the speakers on my TV

    The fact he had been phoning it in his last three months in the company cushioned the blow

    Illinois is a community property state, barring prenups. They probably have one just because each of them is bringing at at least some property.

    He was forced out. I mean, Flair's last retirement has stuck because he can't do anything anymore. Hogan, too.

    YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE WAS SUCH LITTLE REACTION FOR HIM THAT IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE WAS NO SOUND WHATSOEVER, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOUR SPEAKERS BLEW OUT, AREN'T YOU?

    i bet you're talking about how there was such little reaction for him that it's almost as if there was no sound whatsoever, which is what would happen if your speaker blew out
