10 People CM Punk Pissed Off Most In His WWE Career
3. Triple H
The 2011 feud between Punk and Triple H produced some very memorable, smoldering promos between the two. They lit into each other and just went all out with the insults. And as much as promos these days are scripted (or at least sketched out as an outline for the more experienced guys), theres bound to be some truth interwoven into such personal material. So when Punk talked how Triple H considered him an internet darling and railed him about his and Vinces bodybuilder fetish, you have to consider that theres plenty of built-up animosity there. You dont just fabricate six years of backstory. But if youre Triple H, whats got to be the most irritating thing is that Punk walked out in January as everything seemed to be building to a match between the two at WrestleMania. If your opponent leaves like that, its a huge sign of disrespect (whether intended or not) that Punk considered Triple H an inferior opponent, so inferior that hed rather forgo a WrestleMania payday and jeopardize his WWE career. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEjLECVnDk8 Since Punks departure, Triple H has taken a couple small jabs at the Second City Savior on WWE television. Time will tell if that continues or escalates once Punks contract runs out this summer, but theres probably enough bad blood to go around.
