After listening to some of it, and reading up on it, and s**t like that, I've come to a conclusion:
Phil Brooks is a whiny b***h. And at least moderately egotistical.
The biggest gripe I have with him, is his refusal to accept an offer to be put over by Triple H at Mania. Specifically his comment "I don't need that match. YOU do".
I'm sorry, but a win at Mania is a win at Mania. Especially when it's a main event. And to put it simply, whether you like Hunter or not, he is an established icon (future legend) of this company. So getting a win over him in the main event of Mania, is not "for him". Its' for YOU. Ungrateful p***k...
Basically, Phil Brooks has become the new age Shawn Michaels. Full of himself, and convinced he's God. And sorry, but Brooks couldn't wipe Shawn's a**, let alone has he the ground to be an arrogant, egotistical p***k, like Shawn used to be. And for the record, I didn't much care for Shawn, for a good long time, either, until he cooled his jets.
The WWE has never needed Punk, and damn sure don't need him now. They have plenty of up and comers (the former Shield members, especially) who are more than ready to take up any gap Punk left behind.
Now, as for the allegations of wrestling with broken ribs and staph? Well, for the broken ribs, I refer to Undertaker, who once wrestled with a broken Orbital bone. Didn't b***h about it. Because he was tough enough to do it. Brooks, obviously, isn't. As for the Staph...well...that kinda falls on the doctor, not the company. The company can't do s**t about something they don't know about. So just sue the doctor, and be done with it.
Basically, Brooks is just upset that he was actually feeling the demanding nature of being a top-tier guy, and he couldn't handle it. So he took his ball and went home. Couldn't even be bothered to give them a chance to work him off. Even Jeff Hardy gave them that.
Either way, Punk is old news. It's a new day, full of new potential. Let the whiny b***h go.
