Why CM Punk interview isn't the whole story

Brian
CM Punk

This is not a profesional opinion, but a opinion of a fan of both CM Punk and WWE. I do not wish to act like I know everything, nor will I claim to know everything in the confines of this article. My thoughts are my thoughts and nothing more.Colt Cobana's interview with CM Punk changes nothing. Yes, we now have the long awaited explanation of why one of the most polarizing figures in WWE decided to hang up his boots forever, but that dosent mean The WWE Universe will go quietly.The WWE Universe has begged and even demanded answers since Punk made his departure from WWE in January of 2014. Now that Punk has finally broke his silence about leaving the company, or being fired as he claims, the discussion now has shifted from blaming Punk, to blaming Vince McMahon and The WWE for the stars departure.

CM Punk’s side of the story

This all stems from the multiple pipe bombs Punk dropped during the interview, including passing a concussion test, while knowing he and The WWE both knew he had a concussion wrestling for three months with a misdiagnosed staph infection that was called a fatty deposit by a WWE Dr. ,and even being put back on tv just days after Elbow surgery. He was even cleared over the phone to wrestle, without seeing a Dr. himself.Punk also claims during the interview with Cobana, that he was suspended by WWE for two months, after he walked out, and even recieved his termination papers on his wedding day. This is after Punk claimed that he called for months to recieve his royalty checks from WWE, which the company refused to release.Punk even says he had multiple offers on the table for sponsorships after his epic pipe bomb in Las Vegas, but was told by Vince McMahon, that he couldn't sign off on it, because it would upset other wrestlers and even anger Monday Night Raw's main sponsors Punk then says that Brock Lesnar walked in less then three months later, with multiple sponsor deals allowed by McMahon.A majority of Punk's rant is aimed at both Vince McMahon and the traveling WWE Dr., who kept Punk on antibiotics to treat a growth that has formed on his lower back. Punk claims to have asked for it to be cut off multiple times, with the Dr. instead electing to give Punk more antibiotics.Now with Punk's side of the story out. The online discussion is now shifting to McMahon and The WWE's treatment of talent. While debate will surely make its way onto various websites and dirtsheets, it will have the same effectiveness as begging Punk to come back to The WWE, which we all know is none.WWE fans are a fickle audience and this instance proves just that. We havent even heard WWE's side of the story yet, and everyone wants to just jump ship and call Punk a hero and Vince a ruthless business man, who mistreats his workersThis makes no sense! We already knew Vince was a ruthless bussinessman. We already knew the wellness policy had more holes in it then swiss cheese. We already knew that Vince favors some superstars over others, so why are we all going crazy over this.Yes, we now have some of the grisealy details of what happens behind closed doors at WWE, but we are also missing something very crutial, WWE's side of the story on all this.Until the day comes that Vince McMahon or someone from WWE decides to shed light on this matter, i dont think the internet wrestling community can definitively decide anything.Perception is often considered reality, and while i am not calling Punk a liar, we have only been shown one version of reality in this interview.
