Memo to wrestling fans in this writer’s nearby Philadelphia: Please show you’re better than a lot of these recent crowds and resist the urge to chant “CM Punk!” next week.

Once again, fans in Brooklyn took to loudly chanting “CM Punk!” at Stephanie McMahon and (this week) Triple H. Both performers wisely ignored it and continued on as if nothing was being said. And seriously, that’s probably the best thing as fans continue to think they’re clever for bringing up a guy who left under bad circumstances more than three years ago.

It’s seriously becoming annoying, because it’s not like they chant it at a particular character (think Paul Heyman) that makes sense. They direct it at Stephanie or Triple H, presumably because they’re in charge. Regardless, knock it off. It’s ridiculous at this point. He’s not coming back… at least not now.
