10 Ways WWE Have Shot Themselves In The Foot At WrestleMania 31
10. Everyone's Still Talking About CM Punk
Its been over a year since CM Punk's acrimonious split from WWE, when due to mounting pressures and an overall lack of passion for the job, he decided he couldnt take it anymore and walked out. In his now infamous and controversial podcast with Colt Cabana, Punk cited a gruelling workload, opportunities taken from him and given to other wrestlers and most damningly, medical malpractice as his reasons for leaving. To say that WWE could have handled this better is an understatement, and the fact that they were treating one of their top money draws like this only shows how short-sighted and narrow-focussed the company can be. Its baffling that WWE didnt roll out the red carpet for CM Punk when he made wrestling relevant again for many fans around the world, and instead pushed him to the point that he no longer wanted to do the craft hed spent his whole life mastering. Now, Dr. Chris Amann is suing both CM Punk and Colt Cabana for defamation, and WWE are clearly supporting him, going so far as to release a four-minute video of nothing but CM Punks butt to prove there was no baseball-sized growth as he claimed. While its certainly honourable for WWE to stand by their employee, surely this could have waited until after WrestleMania, because all this has done is restarted the conversation about WWEs alleged hostile work environment at a time when WWE does not need any more bad press. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=alLmQFx801M
