Fans familiar with WWE Programming back in the early 2010s won’t deny the influence that CM Punk had. However, he’d go on to leave the company in 2014 on a sour note after irreparable issues. Former WWE Manager and Wrestling Veteran, Dutch Mantell recently touched on the topic by recalling the accursed day the Second City Saint left.

Mantell would reveal on Smack Talk about how he wanted to talk with Vince McMahon on that day. He said that the Best in the World had engaged him for several hours gradually reducing the line of the people who waited. Eventually, even Mantell would go on giving up the idea of meeting the former Chairman. To quote him:

I've told the story about I went to talk to Vince that day and CM Punk kept him in the room for three hours, four hours. I said, scr*w it, I'm never gonna get it there. And I didn't get in there that day and that was the day he left.

Mantell was someone who accompanied Jake Hager, aka Jack Swagger in the early 2010s. Punk had already vented his displeasure on several occasions, of which, the iconic Pipebomb promo is fondly remembered like an urban legend.

With Vince McMahon’s departure from the WWE Creative after TKO Merger, several superstars returned to WWE. Under the Creative Regime of The Game, Triple H, the Best in the World finally graced the WWE fans in his hometown, making it one of the best endings for a PLE in WWE History.

In the same current, Ex-WWE Commentator and former member of Retribution, Dio Maddin, aka Mace recalled how he was supposed to wrestle Brock Lesnar at some point. The idea never came to fruition because Mr. McMahon changed his mind.

As I understand it, it was pitched that I go into some sort of program with Brock. Vince thought that it would confuse the fans because they didn’t know I was a wrestler. Then I had to sneak back onto RAW as Retribution.

These lines were uttered in a conversation with Steve Fall of wrestlingnews.co The context behind this incident is the brief rivalry between the Beast and the Greatest-Luchador-of-All-Time, Rey Mysterio. The inability to find Mysterio had him enraged. The result was Lesnar walking to the commentary team and proceeding to F5 Maddin on the table.

Maddin additionally revealed how he yearned for the opportunity to stand toe-to-toe with the former 10-time world champion. Even if it meant him getting squashed in minutes. He acknowledged how even such a meek performance weighed making his career. While it never came to fruition, Maddin did get a chance to showcase his talents with Retribution and the Maximum Male Models.
