10 Reasons CM Punk Should Stay Retired And Never Return To WWE
6. His Body Is Banged Up
Over the course of the last few years CM Punk has accumulated quite a few injuries, ranging in scope from nagging to fairly serious. All professional wrestlers get banged up, its part of the job description. You have to be prepared to sacrifice your body night in and night out. Its not for everybody, and not something most of us could handle. But for the ones that do, theyre at least able to battle those injuries with the assistance of prescription pain medication, something that CM Punk has denounced due to his straight edge drug-free lifestyle. Its an admirable choice for a wrestler in a business where weve lost so many performers to substance abuse issues stemming from addictions to pain meds. But its difficult to imagine how incredibly hard that has to be on ones body. Most of us cant get a simple headache without reaching for the aspirin or Tylenol. This is a guy who falls down violently 300 nights a year. No one wants to see these guys retire a crippled mess, with mobility and memory trouble thanks to years of bumps and concussions. If Punk elects not to return, hes still in good enough shape where his body hopefully wont have to pay the price down the road.
