Good to know that Art of Wrestling is going to get one hundred times the normal amount of listeners this week. Whenever Punk drops a bomb, he's willing to help out Colt.

2013 alone seems to have burned him out.
Super pissed about losing to 3 part timers and constant injuries. Kept getting "I owe you ones" from Vince that never paid off.
The WM29 pay complaint wasn't being shortchanged relative to another year but specifically making less than Rock, Brock, Cena, HHH, and Taker.
Vince was happy to say he had the match of the night but there's no money in that.

He loves wrestling Kane and nobody has a bad thing to say about him.

Most wrestlers get fired by telephone. Austin was ducking calls so it's not like Bischoff had a choice there. X-Pac was a better example.

Punk maintains a weird kayfabe of never saying AJ's name.

Come to think of it, I remember Jericho telling a story about how, towards the end of his WCW run, Bischoff once sent him a FedEx package with nothing in it.

He had an undiagnosed staph infection the WWE doctor kept giving him Z-Paks for for 3 months (which don't work on staph infections) that he could have died from.
