5 legends that WWE should not bring back

#1 CM Punk

You think you want him back....but you really don'!

Ever since his abrupt departure, fans have speculated about Punk's return to WWE. In fact, I actually fell into that line as well. I wanted to believe that Punk would soon return, especially after suffering such a one-sided defeat in his UFC debut. However, my feelings have since changed.

Punk was a dynamite performer. He had it all, from the in-ring ability to his pipe-bomb promos.However, CM Punk also possessed another attribute along with his great ring work and stellar mic skills. It was his over-inflated ego. Punk got to the point where he was a ticking time-bomb, ready to fly off the handle or throw a temper-tantrum like a 3-year-old, with no notice.

Ever since he left the WWE, CM Punk has not had anything positive to say about his time with the company. He has been very vocal about how miserable he was, despite being one of the company's top Superstars for a number of years. I just think that if he were given the opportunity to make a return, things would never get back to the way they were. WWE would have someone in the locker room who would likely be very negative, and he would spread a lot of unwarranted toxic energy.

For those of us who were once CM Punk fans, let's just recount the good times, with the understanding that the ship has indeed sailed.
