This could be a work. It's just true enough to what we expect from Punk to make us believe it. I'd be pissed too if Batista, who can't work and has no conditioning, took my Wrestlemania headlining spot.

To address something CoMo said earlier: part of the reason that you think WWE has no star power or 'legends' from the last decade is because of WWE's propensity to bring back old wrestlers for feature matches during Mania time. They do so because they want PPV buys from people who no longer actively watch wrestling but might order something where someone they remember (The Rock, Batista, whoever) is wrestling.

That short-term thinking leads to people thinking that WWE has a lack of talent, because the signal sent is that the company doesn't care about or trust its younger guys.

But that is so far removed from the objective truth of the matter, which is that WWE has more talent on its roster today than it EVER has at any point in its history. They're just hesitant to let it shine to its fullest.
