Leaving?

Various wrestling websites are reporting that former WWE World Champion CM Punk's contract is set to expire this year...and there is a great shot that he may not be re-signing with the company.

Reports are varying for the reason, stemming from frustrations over a lack of push, to just the clear case of burnout. The reports are stating that it's because of the uncertainty of Punk's contract negotiations that he's been used less than usual.

If Punk is indeed leaving because he is burned out, then I say go for it. Where is he going to go, TNA? If he needs some time to himself to relax after working the hectic WWE schedule for five years with no breaks, then I say let him.

It Wasn't Me!

This isn't really the biggest news, but it's definitely an interesting topic that I would like to touch down on a little bit.

For those who don't know, last night a series of tweets coming from Kurt Angle's Twitter account (which you can follow at AngleFoods1) depicted Kurt angered by Randy Orton and Jack Swagger using the Angle Slam and the Ankle Lock respectively. Randy Orton (who you can follow at RandyOrton) took to his Twitter to fire back in his defense. This morning, Kurt Angle claimed that his Twitter account was hacked and that he did not feel that way.

CM Punk (who you can follow at CMPunk), the opinionated, outspoken Superstar that he is, recently tweeted "'My Twitter account was hacked' is the new 'I'm a drunk sloppy douche'". Obviously he doesn't buy this either.

A lot of fans are thinking Kurt was drunk tweeting last night thanks in large part to his recent DUI arrest. I think that Kurt was a little bit out of line to complain about the moves being used, as the Angle Slam was only used as a transitional move, and Ken Shamrock was the first WWE guy to use the Ankle Lock. Whether or not he was still wrestling at the time is not the issue; the fact is it's not Kurt's move.

CM Punk makes a very, very fair assessment here, albeit with acerbic humor. Whenever something seems to happen, when somebody tweets something that makes them look bad, it wasn't them. They were hacked. This happened a few months ago with TNA personality Jeremy Borash. A private message was sent to a TNA fan from Borash's account telling him that he hoped his whole family died. Borash claimed that he was hacked, although that was the only message that was sent. His mainstream tweets were uncompromised, it was just this one message.

The point is, if somebody is going to air their grievances on Twitter, stand behind it. Don't point the finger and cry "Hacker". After a while, people just quit believing it.
