It definitely came out at some point because the doctor said "No, I never said it was the worse case of MRSA I had ever seen." and of course it's impossible to diagnose MRSA by eyeballing a boil. And if he had MRSA for months he would either be dead or his entire rear end rotted off.

Yeah, it came out during the doctor's testimony at trial. IIRC, he said the above, as well as disputing Punk's claims that pus shot all over the walls and that Punk was gritting his teeth and grimacing in pain. I believe he even pointed out that he saw similar cases all the time, and that it was a fairly routine procedure that he did in his office on a regular basis.

I'm glad to hear that he's happy. Here's hoping that means he stays there for a good while. On the occasions when he hasn't injured himself, his tenure will no doubt delight me, in the form of .gifs and video on the internet b/c I find the WWE unwatchable

Oh, I forgot to add that it was delivered in a very unenthusiastic, "corporate PG scripted promo" style. It basically felt like an old band going through the motions, playing songs they clearly hate to play but know the audience wants to hear

I think he can hear you, Ray.
Punk looked like a guest host that was a big fan as a kid and has basically kept up with WWE by watching Mania and the Rumble every year. Largely lifeless promo. It's funny that for all his complaints about WWE he's walked back in at a time when its even more corporate and plastic.

My grand prediction is that you won't get any bad behaviour. You'll get a Punk that's going to wrestle a few times a year and earn his retirement money. Contractual obligations Punk.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

WWE poached Jade Cargill from AEW and quickly decided they didn’t actually want to put her on TV. They grabbed Brian Pillman Jr and decided the best move was to change his name but still have him constantly reference his dad. And now they hired the recently fired CM Punk and have to keep him on such a short leash to avoid conflict that they may as well have not even bothered.

Can’t wait to see Brock Anderson renamed to Judas Biscotti and given a hacker gimmick.

we're Rage Against The Machine, and we're here to save you money on your car insurance

although there's a chance that WWE have actually figured out that rebel babyface Punk is no longer a going concern and that bizarro corporate Punk is the only actual fresh take left on the gimmick

and a larger chance that it'll happen by accident and then WWE will claim that they planned it that way from the beginning

Isn't WWE like, super controlling about negative signs now? If fans manage to bring a lot of those signs into arenas AND they are clearly visible, it might be a hint that they are leaning into the Everybody Hates Punk He Sucks Now thing.

I don't know about Inoki's personal life but Vince has multiple stories about how cool he was for either getting sexually assaulted or sexually assaulting someone else as a child and got kicked out of his school because it integrated and he couldn't accept that. Wrestling stories are all hosed up but Vince's backstory is particularly hosed up, and that's just the part before he was the owner of a wrestling concern.
