10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were As Frustrated As The Fans

"The View Never Changes"

They were the words of Dusty Rhodes in an iconic speech to his son about just who the f*ck Arn Anderson was (a walk-behinder for Ric Flair, and when you're a walk-behinder the view never changes) back in WCW, but they became part of the contemporary wrestling lexicon when CM Punk used them in his final tweet before leaving WWE back in 2014.

Having gone 49 minutes before being cheaply eliminated by Kane in the Royal Rumble, 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' infamously had it out with and had had enough of Vince McMahon and Triple H the next day.

Audiences had expressed their fury with the state of the booking of both Punk and especially Daniel Bryan, with the anger eventually forcing the company's hand by the time WrestleMania XXX came around. It wasn't to go that way for the former record-smashing WWE Champion.

After the lies and the misunderstandings and this one final disagreement, his view had changed, and he'd never seen things so clearly.
