Im totally aware that writing an article about why we need to let go of CM Punk is in itself hypocritical. I will absorb said hypocrisy, and promise not to follow up with 10 More Reasons Why We REALLY Need to Let CM Punk Go or 10 Reasons To Hold Out Hope That CM Punk Comes Back. Thats not to say that other writers wont have something to say about CM Punk, but this was a topic that I felt would be fun to explore. First things first, my personal opinion on CM Punk: I am a CM Punk fan. I loved him in ECW, I loved his feud with Jeff Hardy, I ADORED the Straight Edge Society, I consider the Summer of Punk one of the most thrilling times in WWE, and I was so happy that he got his shot at The Streak. I didnt begrudge his sudden departure, and I didnt think hed come back (which doesnt make me super smart or psychic). I have read a lot of pieces on his walk-out, and I can understand why there has been upset, anger, bitterness, and feelings of betrayal. I can see it from the breach of contract standpoint, and I can see it from a disappointed fans standpoint. But here is how I feel about it, 3 months later, and why I feel we need to let CM Punk go.
