>>4681615>“Please,” Punk yells, “somebody fucking help me!”Then CM Punk walks into a room with the principal owner of the WWE, Vince McMahon, and McMahon’s son-in-law, wrestler Paul Levesque, better known by his ring name, Triple H, who is head of talent relations. CM Punk lays it all out: He doesn’t love wrestling anymore. He’s sick and hurt and confused. Every day is an effort to show up. He’s lost all his passion and doesn’t want to do it anymore. He says everything he needs to say.
Then he says, “I’m going home.”
And that’s exactly what happens. Phil Brooks walks out of the building CM Punk walked into and goes home to Chicago. Nearly a decade will pass before he steps inside a pro-wrestling ring again, and when he does, it will be with a start-up dead set on challenging the billion-dollar WWE.
Where did Phil Brooks go?
And how did CM Punk find his way back?
