Which wrestler were you disappointed to hear is a major asshole?

This is what Punk said about him saying "homo":

I’m glad TMZ posted that video because everybody needs to be held accountable for their bullshit, me included. What I said was bullshit. I’m embarrassed. I own up to being a total douche in this situation and I offer a sincere apology to anybody I hurt with careless words.

He's also not a homophobe himself which you kind of implied. The man is super for gay marriage. I don't recall any sexit slurs against fans but if you care enough I mean it's up to you examples would be cool. I know he says "cunt" a lot but I don't know if that's what you mean because "cunt" is really only a sexist taboo word in America. Everywhere else the same magnitude as saying "fuck".

He also never put anyone over and would go out of his way to bury the fuck out of people.

Now this makes me question whether or not you actually watched while he was wrestling. He was 1-5 on PPV in 2011 heading into the pipebomb and 17-33-1 overall on PPV before the pipebomb. Punk was 19-11 post-Pipebomb on PPV. I use the pipebomb as a reference point because that's objectively when his big push started. Also, bringing up the push-why would you expect him to put anyone over during a push? That's literally how to book a push-by not letting people go over the guy you're pushing. You can't use him winning against him. The man was literally getting a push.

Also, who was Punk going to put over during his push as a face anyways? Del Rio, the guy who won the Royal Rumble and MitB the same year? John Laurinaitis? Chris Jericho, the guy who was literally brought in to put Punk over? Fucking Daniel Bryan who just lost the World title to Sheamus? John Cena? Big Show? Like, I don't get it, who did you expect Punk to put over?

As a heel, you legitimately can not say Punk buried anyone. Ric Flair kicked his ass. Vince McMahon kicked his ass. Jerry fucking Lawler kicked his ass. Punk got beat by fucking everyone. He was made to look like complete shit and then only won on PPV by cheating. Ryback looked like a million bucks after their feud and the man didn't even deserve to look that good. Their WWE title match at HiaC was like 10 minutes and Ryback was gassed for most of it. The Survivor Series match had Ryback gassed and that was a Triple Threat. Ryback didn't get buried by Punk, he just wasn't good enough to go over Punk. The only way Punk could have put Ryback over more was to literally drop the title to him which made no sense. CM Punk at 434 days as Champ vs The Rock for the WWE title is 10000x the draw Ryback vs Rock would've been. They booked Punk to basically lose without ever dropping the title.

He always wanted to play the Heel to be cool and edgy, but still soaked up fan cheers as much as he could.

Right, that's why he wanted to turn heel. To be cool and edgy. Not because he was stuck behind Cena as the #2 face. Not because Punk main evented once as a face WWE Champ during his 434 days as a midcard champ. Not because his feud with John Laurinaitis was stolen from him and given to Cena. Not because Cena vs Laurinaitis main evented over Punk v Bryan for the WWE title. Nope, it was all to be cool and edgy while still soaking up fan cheers. That's also why he turned heel right before his DVD was released right? So that he could soak up all the fan support by turning against them right before his merch came out? What a selfish guy.
