>>9107889Punk was forty-three, notoriously unathletic even in his prime, left his previous pro-wrestling employer without notice, and was notorious for his bad temper and inability to get along with others.
I can very easily see Tony originally making the call of keeping the belt on Hanger and leaving Punk as a special attraction, as a sort of younger Sting. But when Phil tested Tony, Tony buckled, and sided with the flaky, big-league outsider over the homegrown talent who made the company to begin with.
I would not be surprised if Page leaves when his contract's up, too. Tony totally bitched out and fucked him for a guy who failed the moment he was put in Hangman's role.
