Jim Ross Blogs: CM Punk's WWE Exit, New WWE DVD
Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his website. He covers a lot of topics, including CM Punk's WWE exit, receiving the Lou Thesz Award, and more.
On CM Punk's WWE Exit: "Big news out of MNR is that CM Punk is apparently leaving WWE after his MITB PPV main event in July in his hometown of Chicago with John Cena for the WWE Title. This quickly has become the talk of the business as Punk is arguably the best antagonist in the ring right now as his work Monday night in Baltimore indicated. Who knows what's going to happen in Chicago? I certainly don't. Would a Punk win change MANY things within WWE? Absolutely. Could Punk become a 'lame duck' WWE Champion? With question. Would John Cena have to carry the burden of being the guy who lost the WWE Title to a man who has nothing to lose and has publicly stated that he's leaving WWE? Yes sir. Is Punk leaving the WWE forever? I don't know as only @cmpunk can answer that one. "
On the Lou Thesz Award: "Thanks to all those who have send congratulatory messages to me via emails here on the site or to Twitter @JRsBBQ regarding me receiving the Lou Thesz Award from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame July 22-23 in Waterloo, Iowa at the Dan Gable Museum.
