There used to be this wrestling game on Facebook, Wrestler Unlimited, and my character there was the Wayward Tarheel....and yes, it was an expy of Stone Cold Steve Austin, right down to the Wayward 3:16.

Love it, perfect person to model a character after. My created characters were always basically hybrids of Kane and Stone Cold, lol. With British flags on their gear, of course. That and outright sluts, because...well...'sup

He was great on the mic, such a shame he wound up talking his way out of wrestling altogether.

Didn't he return to wrestling over in AEW a year or so ago?

Yep, then he put himself in a position where he brought a massive go with him, got into a fight with people around him, got his contract cancelled and is now nowhere to be seen.

Kinda reminds me of a story I read over at WrestleCrap in their "Rewriting the Book" section (wish they'd bring that section back)....TL/DR: We know CM Punk, back in 2004-05, had signed a contract to eventually wrestle in WWE by 2006 whilst allowing him to defend his ROH title and dip his toes into TNA (then under NWA-sanction)....but what if, instead of that, CM Punk had been forced to go to WWE immediately after winning the ROH World Championship back in 2004 against Samoa Joe, only to have Vince McMahon of all people come out to ringside and, contract in hand, inform Mr. Punk that you won't get to defend your title because, in RTB 's words, your ass belongs to me!

Considering they kept him as a mid-carder for most of his early years, they couldn't have been THAT desperate to sign him...but, I suppose it's possible!

What people forget about Vince McMahon is he genuinely wants to be the only fish in the ocean of wrestling. Now, I don't mean like a shark with remora fish swimming around for scraps; I mean, he wants to buy everyone out in North America - ROH, TNA (excuse me, Impact), GFW, AEW, etc. - and run it all from Stamford, so in that regard, CM Punk was dead to right accurate.

The other accurate thing he said in his "pipe bomb" was how WWE continually pushes certain stars (looking at the two of you, John Cena and Reman Roigns--I mean, Roman Reigns) and letting others languish in mid-card hell (or worse, pushing others who aren't that great to being with - Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio come to mind here). I mean, was WWE taking cues from the ghosts of WCW c. late 90's or what?

True, Vince really did hate when competition would challenge him. His reliance on the "type" wrestlers is horrible, as well. Pushing muscular and sweaty over talented...such a shame.

Jon Moxley (a/k/a Dean Ambrose) said it best about CM Punk....

CM Punk has a "fragile ego, fragile body, weak mind, [and] weak spirit."

As good a wrestler as Punk is, Moxley's words are dead right.

Words he proved time and time again in AEW.
