WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was asked by TMZ cameramen about C.M. Punk's absence from WWE television. Hogan said he doesn't know anything about it but hopes he's "on a short vacation." He cracked that Punk is probably in Hawaii somewhere. View the video at TMZ.com.

Powell's POV: The story is labeled by TMZ as Hogan asking Punk to "Please Come Back To WWE" but that's not what I took from the video. Rather, Hogan indicated that he hopes Punk is on a short vacation, which would imply that he hopes Punk is returning, but it's not like he went any further than that. Yes, that is Jimmy Hart shown accompanying Hogan.
