It might be different if CM Punk had passed away, and we were all grieving the loss and re-hashing his career. But this is clearly a conversation that he doesnt care to be a part of. Since his departure, he has not conducted a single interview to talk about WWE. He has kept a low profile, aside from an appearance to support The Talking Dead show, and paparazzi-style sightings at hockey games. For the most part, CM Punk is sending a message: he has no interest in answering questions or sharing his side of the story. One could guess that its because hes still under contract, in which case time will tell. But after 3 months and a LOT of words being written on CM Punk, without his input, it starts to sound like one hand clapping. There is only so much that can be said, only so much conjecture can be made, when the subject of that conjecture has got the wrestling community set to Ignore Mode. Its like breaking up with your significant other, and continuing to phone them when they havent answered for 3 months. Your friends would tell you to let it go!
