CM Punk Thanks Fans, Closes WWE Chapter on Art of Wrestling Podcast

CM Punk returned to his good friend Colt Cabana's podcast, Art of Wrestling, to follow up on the previous episode in which Punk detailed his departure from WWE. The second episode was all about closing this chapter in Punk's life and moving onto the next one, but of course he had some more comments about his time in the wrestling business, and he concluded by thanking his fans.

Here's what Punk had to say to his fans at the end of the show (transcribed by Cageside Seats):

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you were ever a fan of mine, if you ever wanted to see me wrestle on television, or live in person, or you purchased a shirt or texting gloves, or any other number of ridiculous merch items, hey, thank you. And I appreciate it.

"I had to wait this long to tell the story for legal reasons and it got out as soon as it could, you know? If I've offended you, hey, sorry. There's a chance you might need to lighten up, and there's a chance I meant to offend you. I don't really know where I'm going with that. If you support me, that's awesome, thank you. If you don't like me, don't follow me on Twitter. If you don't like KISS, don't buy their albums, you know what I mean? Find something that you love to do and do it, don't worry about what everybody else is doing."
