I'm pretty sure he destroyed Evan Bourne for absolutely no reason taking him out for a few months.

Now he's mad at Orton for punting him in the head two years ago for no reason...

ironic

I don't think irony plays a role at all.

Nor do I think this situation makes Punk's character a hypocrite. He's not saying that Orton shouldn't have done that. He's just trying to pay Orton back for doing it.

punk and bourne were in an actual match and just hit him with a gts and pinned him

how is this even close

and punk did apologize for it when he did commentary

 

[Roler42]

i'll put it in a simple phrase

he's a heel, he doesn't need an excuse and he's doing it only for himself

Well to be fair, Orton was a heel when he attacked Punk in 08.

After the match he assaulted him outside of the ring and picked him up and ran him shoulder first into the ring post.

I think they are ignoring this because they only had Punk do it because Bourne was already injured and needed time off.

That was just to his feud have any sense

This is the WWE. You weren't supposed to remember that.

Also, I hate how CM Punk shifted from John Cena to Randy "my only good matches were with Mick Foley and Chris Benoit" Orton.

Eeh, this is WWE we're talking about. And I guess if we're going by technicalities now, CM Punk did wait for Orton to be face before getting back at him lol

 

[NoGimmicksNeeded]

Orton taking him out cost him his title. It'd actually make less sense for him to ignore it just because he'd also injured someone himself, because heels aren't supposed to rationalise things, they're almost always booked to be incredibly self centred, and focused solely on how they feel that they have been wronged.

CM Punk did that for a reason and explained himself: to make an impact in his first night on Raw.

Punk shouting "it's nothing personal" was great xD
