thought is was a personal choice

I haven't lost much respect for Punk. He is not making a statement by quitting the WWE, that he was mad that DB or some other 24/7 guy isn't main eventing WM. This isn't a statement for the fans. He quit, he walked out on an agreement, he walked out on his fans. It's because Punk wasn't getting what punk wants. I respect him for getting pissed about it, I would too. Ego respect ego. However he didn't wait for his contract to end...he took his ball and went home. He gave all his fans and the WWE the middle finger because he isn't getting what he wants.

I would respect him if he had said, "my body can't hold up" or "I don't like the way I'm being booked" or whatever ... and given them a couple of weeks to write him out of whatever angles were planned.

To walk like he did is unprofessional. It's a hissy fit.

I agree @Pat & Bull.

Very unprofessional.

Also saying that he quit for Daniel Bryan is full of BS. People got onto Cena when he try to get a cheap pop for saying he is behind Daniel Bryan. Punk just did the same fucking thing here. Oh btw if he was, why did he leave his best friends to a pack of backstage Wolves. What a friend.

CM Punk is one of my favorite wrestlers, but it seems like he has developed this sort of "my way or the highway" attitude, and that really isn't fair to anyone else backstage. If this guy wants 100% creative control of his career he is in the wrong wrestling promotion.

Bull, please learn what sxs means. Being Straight-Edge doesn't mean you can't drink caffeine. Some of the more hardcore sxs members opt for that but it's not necessary. For example, Ruro drunks tons of energy drinks and he's Straight-Edge.

Ian Mackaye [Minor Threat] did his best to not consume anything that would alter his mindset - caffeine, aspirin, etc - but it doesn't count against anything if you choose to do it because it's not a drug & it's not alchol.

Caffeine is technically a drug

Doesnt count by REAL sxs standards. Not having sex isn't looked down upon either. Vaping is also up for debate, due to the fact that nicotine alone is pretty much just caffeine.

It doesnt change the fact that it is, indeed, a drug.

And I also said some choose to refrain from drinking it. Like some over the counter/prescription medicines, caffeine is not categorized into the "stay away" category. It's a choice but it's not frowned upon if one chooses to do it.

Punk even has a Pepsi (a drink that contains caffeine) tattoo for ffs.

Once again, I refer to Ruro and his energy drinking ways.

Also, though I am no longer sxs, I used to be up until my Sophomore/Junior year of HS, and I drank coffee before that.
