CM Punk’s dear friend Colt Cabana spoke to Wrestlezone after the trial of Chris Amann’s lawsuit against him and CM Punk came in their favor. Even though Punk has not spoken directly about his WWE departure, but it’s no longer secret that Punk has retired from wrestling.
Over the years many people and fans thought that Punk left the business because of the poor management decisions and bookings, but that’s just one side of the coin, and there’s more truth to it.
CM Punk recently won defamation lawsuit case that WWE official doctor Dr.Chris Amann has brought upon to him.
Chris was one of the main doctors in the WWE’s medical team, and he was looking after CM Punk health as well. Over the years, Punk has openly said that the WWE doctors neglected his health and he took Amann’s name in the 2014 Colt Cabana podcast.
Punk has suffered a concussion, headaches, vomiting, body pains, and more for weeks, but he was cleared to compete in the ring. In simple words, he has to show up for the work, if he is cleared to compete by the WWE doctors.
Unfortunately, Punk complained to the doctors that he is suffering, but the doctor’s failure to diagnose it properly. He had a lump on his back and later on it turned out to be a Staph infection that a non-WWE doctor diagnosed it.
CM Punk has suffered a lot physically during his run with the WWE, and the doctors are failing to diagnose Punk’s health issues has led him to leave WWE for good.
Do not forget that WWE wrestler have a schedule that keeps them busy for months and he has travel one to town to next every single day.
Colt Cabana on CM Punk crying on the stands,
“Punk went up, and he basically did a second podcast on the stand with a lot of evidence.
The doctor in the beginning told the story about this guy never being hurt, never being injured and the doctor was just being a great old doctor.
You just hear the crazy schedule that Punk’s on, the vigorous schedule and he’s in one town the next and there’s evidence and there’s text messages of him getting ice packs and his body hurting, doctors talking about him every single day and constantly being injured.
I knew his life was bad, you really see it on paper–I don’t mean his life is bad; but, the vigorousness of how much he was going through and it wasn’t ending and it wasn’t ending. You see it. I feel like the jury is experiencing it. He started crying.
My lawyer who doesn’t know Punk said, ‘Is this real?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘How do you know?’ I said, ‘Listen to this awful experience.’
He’s reliving this awful experience on top of paying all this money for his lawyers and possibly losing million or more to this doctor who allegedly treated him like shit.
Their lawyer put a stop to it quick. The judge said, ‘You’ve got to compose yourself. Get it together.’”
Author’s take
CM Punk case is enough to prove that the doctor Amann has neglected the health of a wrestler. Illness is an experience, but when it becomes part of your daily job, then you are experiencing hell every single day. We cannot ask anyone to experience hell for our entertainment. I hope, Vince McMahon, listening to the court verdict because it will help WWE improve their medical facility for the existing wrestlers on the roster.
