** He's also getting this with regards to his UFC career. For up to two years, he still hasn't officially had a fight yet. And yet, the UFC has still deigned to put him as a playable character in their video games and even start making documentaries about the guy even though Punk right now is completely unproven, and has absolutely little to no MMA bouts or credentials to show that he's earned the right to have documentaries made about his as-of-now nonexistent MMA career. With all the attention and hype he's been getting for a currently unproven UFC career, it comes as no surprise that a lot of people are getting sick of CM Punk.

** His 2014 walkout. Some say he did it to take a stand against WWE's mishandling of their hard working talent in favor of part timers. Some say he's a baby throwing a tantrum because he didn't get what he wanted, and is ungrateful for great opportunities he's been given. Others think that given what he's done for the business, and given his physical state[[note]]It's well known that he'd been working hurt for some time, something not made easier by his straight edge lifestyle, to the point that it was affecting his performance[[/note]] and given that he is financially secure, his decision to leave is selfish but not unreasonable. Others counter that leaving before his contract was up was horribly unprofessional. And a final group notes that, whatever anything else, his leaving seems to have opened the door for other stars such as Daniel Bryan and Cesaro to rise and reach their full potential.
** Punk being granted an automatic match into UFC without any previous fighting credentials to back him up. Many point out that Punk would be a huge draw in increasing buys (and as the match has happened, that seems to be true with more than five hundred thousand buys) but others, including actual MMA fighters themselves have pointed out how unfair it is that Punk gets to walk into a main show match with an 0-0 record as well as taking a huge amount of cash with him when his opponent would be getting a bare fraction of it.[[note]]Punk's fight purse for the night was reportedly $500,000, which is around the standard base pay for a main-eventing champion. Mickey Gall, his opponent, made $15,000 to show up and another $15,000 for winning. For reference, only Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem (who were competing in the main event of the card) got a higher payout than Punk that night.[[/note]] Especially when one considers Punk being so frustrated with the WWE was because part-timers walked in and took main event spots from the guys who worked their asses off to get on the card, which is pretty much exactly what he is doing with the UFC. It didn't help after Punk's match with Mickey Gall, in which he tapped out within two minutes of the first round, making the whole two year build-up over his debut look laughable.
** Getting a second chance in the Octagon for a UFC event in Chicago. More dedicated MMA fans have begun making numerous jokes about how much lower the UFC would need to dig for any opponent that Punk could realistically defeat. With Punk losing a rather brutal one-sided decision, those who support his MMA endeavors are becoming increasingly few and far in between.
** The "gripebomb". The Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling fanbase is split between those that agree with CM Punk and those that agree with The Elite (Wrestling/KennyOmega and Wrestling/TheYoungBucks) in regards to who's to blame for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBAvjOYD6hs AEW All Out 2022 Media Scrum disaster]] where Punk again aired out [[HistoryRepeats a company's dirty laundry publicly]].

** The Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling fanbase is split between those that agree with CM Punk and those that agree with The Elite (Wrestling/KennyOmega and Wrestling/YoungBucks) in regards to who's to blame for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBAvjOYD6hs AEW All Out 2022 Media Scrum disaster]] where Punk again airs out [[HistoryRepeats a company's dirty laundry publicly]]. This then results in a locker room altercation and the suspension of multiple people, including Punk himself and The Elite.

* AmericansHateTingle: Due to his blood feud with MJF, Punk has been booed out of the building every time AEW has gone to Long Island. This continued even after the feud ended, which is why Punk usually acts like a heel there even though he's a face everywhere else.

** On October 8th 2012 in Sacramento, CM Punk was harassed by a fan and accidentally retaliated against another fan at Raw. The next time they were in Sacramento was January 2013 for Smackdown. The pre-sale Ticketmaster password was ''SMACKFAN''.
** In ROH's "Summer of Punk", he signed his WWE contract, proclaiming "This is my ticket to freedom!". His time in WWE ended up destroying his love of wrestling to the point where he says he can't even watch it on TV any more. It took seven years and the birth of Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling to reignite his love for it again. It went to the point where in AEW he would claim August 13, 2005 (his last date in ROH) to be for him the actual date he retired as a professional wrestler.

* FansPreferTheNewHer: For most of his career he had shoulder-length long hair; then he lost a Hair vs Mask match against Wrestling/ReyMysterio and was shaved bald, something that he tried to hide via a mask for several months before Wrestling/TheBigShow got to him and revealed his shiny head to the world. Surprisingly, many fans found that Punk actually looked better bald, and with shorter hair in general. Since then, he's kept his hair relatively short, even shaving it into (in the words of Wrestling/ChrisJericho) a "stylish buzzcut" after his 2012 FaceHeelTurn.

* FanPreferredCouple: He is by far and away the most popular of Wrestling/AJLee's love interests, and they're arguably the most popular wrestling het ship of the last decade that doesn't involve {{Original Character}}s. Ironically, while the ship ultimately went nowhere onscreen, as AJ eventually ended up with Wrestling/DolphZiggler and staying with him for close to a year, it very much sailed in RealLife, with AJ stating in her book that their storyline together is what made them realize they were attracted to each other to begin with. Punk started dating AJ in the second half of 2013, proposed to her by the end of the year and they were married in June 2014.

Even over a decade later, people still quote it, especially because it turned out to be oddly prophetic.

* JustHereForGodzilla: From his WWE debut to when he was drafted to RAW, Punk was effectively the main, if not ''only'', reason to watch WWECW. General agreement is that after he left the show, the quality of the programming went down a notch, though they at least still had most of the talented roster from Punk's time, along with drafting Wrestling/MattHardy as compensation. Then 2009 happened, where basically everyone worth watching got drafted except for the recently-returned Wrestling/{{Christian}}, Wrestling/SheltonBenjamin, and Wrestling/WilliamRegal, and when the show finally died in 2010, many called it a MercyKill.



** In some portions of the IWC, to the point where he has ah opened up the urn and poured the ashes on Undertaker while slathering them on himself (and keep in mind that, at least in storyline, the ashes were meant to be those of the then-recently deceased Wrestling/PaulBearer), and portions of the crowd were STILL chanting his name.
