About four years ago, I wrote a piece asking the question of who needed the other more: WWE or CM Punk? In the four years since that piece, it’d appear that Punk didn’t need the WWE–and some folks within the WWE make it seem like they wouldn’t welcome Punk back.. It probably doesn’t help that the […]
Read moreThoughts on the State of WWE
Now, usually, I leave my wrestling thoughts to my Eyes on the Ring posts. However, because I’m lazy and I’m already logged in over here, I might as well drop some knowledge.
