I got back into wrestling around 2013. I missed peak Punk (circa 2012), but was highly intrigued after listening to his AoW interview with Cabana around that time.

Now, having witnessed his return(s) and subsequent failure(s) to do anything but talk a good game, I'm really struggling to find the allure. Hell, even in the YouTube clip where he's "coaching" some NXT cats a few days ago, he sounded like he was going through the motions, passing off sage advice like 'do what others AREN'T doing', etc.

Just seems like the industry left him behind and he refuses to do the work to even be passable between the ropes.
