WWE Takes Another Shot At CM Punk, Former Star On Punk's "Admirable" Departure, Punk's Chair Pic

- Former WWE and TNA star Matt Morgan was recently by The NB Show, which is a weekly wrestling-related web show hosted by Nick Buzzelli & Bryan Chechak in Pittsburgh, PA. It can be heard every Monday from 4:00pm ? 5-15pm EST on YouTube. During the interview, Morgan discussed CM Punk's WWE departure.

"He had his reasons to leave and he stuck by them, and I think that's admirable at the end of the day, I really, really do," Morgan said (props to The Epoch Times for the transcription). "Not enough guys have the balls to do this kind of thing, and if more guys did, I guarantee you ? how they come up with [storylines] and focus on the talent would be a little different.

"Punk is wealthy as well. Punk left because ? he could probably physically still complete, and maybe wasn't happy with what was happening with his character ? things add up, and really snowball out of control. He's smart with his money, he's frugal with his money, so you can't give that excuse. God bless him for not being a robot, who are stuck in the world of wrestling ? and the only thing that matters is wrestling."

Morgan also discussed current WWE storylines, getting ribbed by the boys for his Denny's regular order, learning from the Undertaker and much more. You can check out the full interview in the video above.

- Speaking of Punk, we noted last week that WWE took a shot at CM Punk via his official WWE Facebook page. After his page had laid dormant for nearly a month, WWE added a link to a playlist looking at people walking out of the company with the text: "Superstars who threw in the towel."

They followed that post this afternoon with a link to a video playlist about stars who sold out to join alliances with the text: "SUPERSTARS WHO SOLD OUT and broke our hearts in the process!!!!"

- In more Punk news, we noted last month that he is one of several celebrities that painted a ball park chair as part of a public art project commemorating Wrigley Field's 100-year anniversary. 50 custom-made pairs of decorated ball park seats that depict a historic moment in the Chicago ballpark's history were created. You can check out Punk's chair below and bid on it at MLB.com by clicking here. As of this writing, the current bid is $850.
