Knowing what happens next week withstanding, how bad is it that TNA wasn't even an option for Punk on tv?

TNA has been good these past 3 weeks. Honestly, it looks like they're turning the corner. It's now or never and everyone knows it. Even Spike. There are rumors that Spike may buy a majority stake to have more creative direction. Which, once again, could help them either turn the corner or or put the final bullet in them. Who knows.
ROH is going to have a great year, I feel it.
WWE is getting better. With the possible additions of the Kings Of Wrestling even more talent is being added (or at least scouted)
Things are looking great, IMO. The funk might be over, finally.

Full Punk Promo
"I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot better than most of the people in the back. I hate the idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s *+%. You’re as good at kissing Vince’s *+% as Hulk Hogan was. I don’t know if you’re as good as Dwayne, though. He’s a pretty good *+% kisser. Always was and still is. Oops, I’m breaking the fourth wall (waves at camera).
“I’m the best wrestler in the world. I’ve been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company and I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right; I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar, and he split just like I’m splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I’m going to leave with the WWE championship.
“I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s imaginary brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that they’re just that. They’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me. And the fact that day in and day out for almost 6 years I’ve proved to everyone in the world that I’m the best on this microphone, in the ring, even on commentary. Nobody can touch me.
“Yet no matter how many times I prove it I’m not on your lovely little collector’s cups. I’m not on the cover of the program. I’m barely promoted. I don’t get to be in movies. I’m certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network. I’m not on the poster of WrestleMania. I’m not on the signature that’s promoted at the top of the show. I’m not on Conan O’Brien. I’m not on Jimmy Fallon. But the fact of the matter is I should be and trust me this isn’t sour grapes. But the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I’m not makes me sick.
“Let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big of a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you’re the ones sipping out of those collector cups. You’re the ones who buy the programs that my face isn’t on the cover of and then at 5 in the morning in the airport you shove it in my face so you can go sell it on E-bay because you’re too lazy to get a real job.
“I’m leaving with the WWE championship on July 17 and who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe I’ll go back to Ring of Honor. Hey Colt Cabana, how you doing? (looks at camera and waves)
“The reason I’m leaving is you people, because after I’m gone you’ll still pour money into this company. I’m just a spoke on the wheel. The wheel’s gonna keep turning and I understand that. Vince McMahon’s going to make money in spite of himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. Know why he’s not a billionaire? It’s because he surrounds himself with glad-handing, nonsensical %@$#%*%$% yes men like John Laurinaitis who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear.
“And I’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon’s dead but the fact is it’s going to get taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family. Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. We do this whole bully campaign…

true. i just saw the promo. they are gonna go either 2 ways. 1. that promo kinda sounded like vince wants to bury punk on his way out as punk turned on his fans in that promo. also one thing you dont do is attack rock cuz ur gonna get instant heat. cena beats him and punk leaves to roh. or 2. Vince with the swerve and helps punk win the title as he screws cena at the ppv.
i think punk did improvise on the promo though and most likely he probably will win on the ppv. i think vince is going the reality route

if they had let him mention tna or batista then i would have been shocked.
and the mic would have been cut off quicker.
