He actually kinda was marketed as a shoot fighter when they did promo video for him in ECW. He talked about his experience in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kenpo Karate, and "my only addiction is competition".
His only addiction was money
I always hated Punk. I used to bash his "fighting" skills years ago with his terrible kicks. What a joke. And I remember marks would argue how he was a trained this or that. Hahaha
@madamefeast4824 only when he's choking out guys half his size he looks believable. I am a Punk fan, but I don't think he was ever the best in the world. Great promo, good worker in his prime. Completely agree that he throws horrible kicks, and everyone used to give me shit for saying that. Unfortunately, his body is too frail to take the ass beating from DM Hunk we are all waiting for.
I just think it's funny that he's the exact thing in UFC that he was complaining about in WWE. A part-timer who kept stealing spots from more "deserving" guys.
z2ei oh my goodness
z2ei He said that his fight wouldn't have been on the main card if he had a choice.
G M If it was up to him, that would have been the first fight on Fight Pass. Hopefully, he's done with UFC and can find happiness elsewhere.
You guys who bring up the "if it was up to him" thing need to stop. You act like the people at the top in WWE were the ones saying they had to be the main event. No, the promoters made those matches main events too.
let's see either he turn down the main event spot looking money or follow orders and get paid whether a win or loss. Again, "if it was up to him" is valid since he doesn't make the card, the BOOKER does.
for those saying he's only doing it part timer, really? Where are you when he's training or giving up months training for bouts??
To be 100% fair, he wasn't sued by the WWE at all. He was sued by their top doctor for slander and defamation of character because Punk said he could've died because of his incompetence. Yes it's pretty bullshit, but when the same doctor is also underfire because of the whole concussion suit he's willing to do anything to protect his image. Even though his image is so shot it's not really worth saving.
@Has America fallen yet? do u know how much a doctor makes? That's just a theory Punk assumed cause "Everyone in WWE including the caterers and dress streamers are against Me."
WWE financed that lawsuit. But Punk winning...twice against them is freakin' awesome!!
I understand Graves's point but once you leave a job most people don't keep up with old co workers.
Juan Unda I damn sure don't
yup, I honestly don't see the problem with it, it's just a bit fucked up, but at the same time they work for a guy that's helping someone else sue him so I can kind of understand why he wants no relation at all with wwe or anyone working there.
Juan Unda Has Corey ever once publicly expressed concern for Punk's well being? Or expressed concern and displeasure with WWE continuing to make Punk's life miserable? Has he expressed even a fraction of the outrage towards WWE's negligence as he has Punk "betraying" him? Where was he when Punk was being ridiculed as a quitter on live TV?
G M I don't care about graves. I was only saying I can understand his point but he's a corporate guy. And yes you're right. I don't recall him saying that CM Punk was mistreated by WWE or it's doctor.
G M
Considering Punk basically took his ball and went home and bascially renounced the business that's not really to far off the mark. The fact that the fans keep thinking it's fun to chant CM Punk for no reason doesn't help.
I haven't lost any respect for him. After his first fight he had thousands - maybe millions - of people treating him like he was a joke. But he went ahead and gave it another shot.
And now he's even more of a joke, getting millions he doesn't deserve, and yet again taking a spot from an actual fighter. You give anyone that type of money to get their butt kicked, and they'll do it, so that doesn't make him some sort of tough guy hero, far from it.
3.5 years of training and he hasn't made any sort of progression at all, and this fight was even worse than the first one, despite 'going longer'...which was only because Jackson was toying with him. He is a joke, and an asshole too, so I enjoyed seeing him humbled in the octagon yet again.
Forbsey
And got his ass best even worse than he did in his first fight?
Forbsey, I agreed. Upon the simpletons before me Punk wasn't doing the part timer bullshit. he dedicated months of training and working out to get into the UFC. If punk wasn't on the main card, i can be assured he would gladly like that.
yeah because of what he was getting paid. has noting to do with respect.
Granted he didnt quit but he should of he must of known he was shit during his training if your trainer is tearing you up dont go in against a pro.
"He looks like a lesbian Max Headroom." What a classic line haha.
Max Headroom already looks like a lesbian Max Headroom.
CM Punk was over, because he was anti-establishment. if he came back, in any group/alliance or whatever, he's be the sellout and no longer anti-establishment
What was Punk thinking when he decided to go into MMA? Did Dana White see dollar signs for booking him twice in a row?
He begged Dana for one more chance and vowed he wouldn't quit. After that second fight Dana gave him a pat on the back and said, "Your done."
I dunno ... Punk's first fight was doomed from the start. He has zero technique. U have athletes there who trained for years who have done some form of physical activity. Not a guy who collects comic books and eats Reece's pieces...
Punk should have not been allowed to compete at that level. He clearly needed more seasoning.
He was old for the sport and didn't even play sports in his youth
I’m not a huge fan of the modern era of WWE, but by what I seen and heard of all todays stars, Punk was AMAZING on the mic, where the majority or them are terrible. The fact that he left to try mma, regardless if he sucked at it, he had the balls to try. Most of the people making fun of him haven’t taken a risk in their lives and wouldn’t know a fight if it landed on them. He tried, he failed, big deal. It’s better to regret doing something that not regret even trying. Yeah he sounds like a premadonna but which wrestler isn’t? We are so used to hearing and seeing every single thing people do, including what they do out of the spotlight, we judge EVERYONE, far too harshly for things we shouldn’t even know about. I judge the man for what he did in WWE, and what I saw was a star. And one of my absolute FAVOURITE wwe moments, is in the royal rumble when Snuka and Piper made a comeback, and Punk stopped, say in the corner and just watched every move and laughed his ass off. It was so nice to see one of these famous people be 100% real and just enjoy the moment and not just try to look perfect all the time. Wwe need him, not the other way around. Always be a fan of Punk.
Personally, I think this did hurt Punk's value for wrestling a bit. Lesnar is still a big draw in UFC and WWE because he is legitimately terrifying and people know he could snap anytime. Punk, not so much.
ghostface216 Right. I would have thought that Punk would have represented himself better as a MMA fighter considering that he has been a pro wrestler for decades. Now, I know that wrestling is scripted, but it still requires some athletic ability. Punk looked like he has no control over his body in his two UFC bouts.
Punk is a joke. His credibility is depleted. Now his complaints and gripes against the WWE just look like whining now.
It devalues Punk immensely. How can he possibly go into a title bout against Lesnar or a talent who has ever beaten Lesnar and have any kind of credibility in that match? We know it's scripted, but you still at least want a tiny bit of believability, don't we?
Right because Rousey had such an issue...
Exactly. How can Brock vs Punk be booked ever again? The mystique is gone. Brock beats him every single time in legit competition. One punch, one takedown. End game for Punk in seconds in a real fight. Other smaller and less athletic wrestlers vs Brock still have that element of what if?
Rousey was a legit killer before she lost 2 fights badly. Punk lost 2 fights against far less opposition than Rousey faced, even more badly and never won a thing. There's a massive gulf in credibility between Rousey and Punk. Rousey is a legit legendary sportswoman, Punk's a total non athlete.
One thing I don't get about Punk, and I am a big fan of his, is that he was complaining about concussions in the WWE and then joined the UFC to get his head smashed twice in a row.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, UFC isn't making its guys fight 500+ times a year.
midlife crisis.
Dana White isn’t going to make his fighters fight with a concussion and a full-blown staff infection
@@blakemeads9225 nah he just let's them fight on steroids.
While his stock may have dropped a bit from those losses, he could still easily draw money because it wasn't some reputation as an elite fighter that got him over. What got him over was his personality, charisma, mic skills, and rebellious nature.
Samoa Joe is probably an example of someone who's drawing power would've likely diminished if he went the same route. Because he's known for being a badass that could beat the shit out of you.
KangDo Samoa Joe would have been wrecked by a showing like this.
It does matter very much. The next time he's sitting in a WWE ring talking about he's going to kick somebody's ass watch the crowd start laughing. Or it's going to be entirely too easy for a heel to roast him on his UFC fights, and you know they don't shy away from doing that stuff.
Damn years later and he came back and got attention on AEW
If Punk wants to keep fighting he should go to Bellator or somewhere else. He shouldn't be in the UFC. As for WWE, I don't think he'll go back there. Or at the very least he won't go back there for a very long time. If he goes back to wrestling it won't be in WWE.
Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus Bellator isn't a job organization. They got elite mofos there too. CM Punk, if he's crazy enough to keep going, should start a bit smaller.
Hi Spinosaurus, you're a hell of a big dinosaur and a weird one too. Good job.
CM Punk being the worst MMA fighter in the history of the sport is a good argument, though. Saturday night might have been the worst fight I've ever seen. Poor guy looked lost in there.
Exactly - who stands there trying to put a chicken wing on the person punching them in the head?
NoMoreHideTheBall It was horrible. He makes the UFC and the WWE look bad.
+NoMoreHideTheBall There is probably amateur and regional fighters worse than Punk. But Punk is probably the worse fighter to ever fight in the UFC at the very least.
NoMoreHideTheBall Maybe, but to be fair to Punk hes probably the best fighter who started training at nearly 40, especially with the bodily damage that comes with being a professional wrestler. Had RoH Punk decided to leave and get into MMA we very well could be talking about him today as one of the greatest of all time, but as it is it was too little too late. He was still the highest paid or second highest paid fighter on the card though I'm sure, and like it or not, that counts for more than his win loss record ever would have.
Are you fucking mad? He hasnt got an ounce of athletic ability in his body. If he did this when he was in his 20s, he'd have fought better guys, had worse trainers and had his orbital bone destroyed. He isnt cut out for this. He's a pretend fighter. Not a real one.
Literally dig up the footage of him doing a New Japan dojo camp when he was in his 20s. He had no balance, couldnt roll or anything.
BROCK LESNAR, KEN SHAMROCK, & RONDA ROUSEY, ALL had LOSSES in the MMA & they were still able to return to WWE & still have SUCCESS! So WHY can't CM PUNK make a SUCCESS!
He's not coming back...... It's over✌🏾
I suppose it's Punks business if he wants to be a professional punching bag (for real.) He's going to become the MMA equivalent of a backyard wrestler sooner than later.
His UFC attempt was just a silly move, the guys not a cage fighter. He's an entertainer and hopefully he signs for AEW
At least he did it twice
@@nevermindgaming6848 100%. I don't take anything away from him doing it, it takes balls. I personally think be shoulda just stayed away
10:24 FINALLY someone says what I've always thought of Cory Graves.
9:06 Cornette's self awareness at this point is fucking legendary!
Which episode of the drive through was this
Thank you Jim
In a UFC fight, yes they’re different weight classes, but Brock Lesnar would murder CM Punk. Seeing Brock, the Rock, and other big WWE Superstars getting “tired” and “beaten up” by Punk drives me nuts. These guys would kill him if not for the script of the match.
Oh really almost like its a work lmao
It’s wrestling, you plonker.
I would think maybe Punk cut off contact with friends in the WWE because of weariness that word of those conversations might get back to Vince or Hunter or maybe he'd get those friends in trouble somehow for associating with him. People have had a way of being stooges a lot of the time in these promotions over the years, I wouldn't rule it out. Or maybe it was due to legalities prior to the court case, I don't know.
i believe that as well
Good point
The trial is over and Punk has shit all over the business in general, not just WWE. I've honestly lost respect for him, I know a company screws you, you want nothing to do with them, but those are guys you spent your life with for a time, it's been described as a fraternity because it is, you get close to those guys and girls. But he has taken a shit on all of that because he's got it in his craw that he was the next Ric Flair.
The guy Litterally Said "He refuses to associate with anyone Related to WWE" And he bashes pro Wrestling saying that it's the Fake and phoney world and that it doesn't mean anything.
And people wonder why AJ Lee has been gone from Wrestling for over 4 years
Punk should’ve NEVER left wrestling he should’ve just gone back to ROH since he wasn’t happy in the WWE he would’ve blown up ROH’s fan base and ratings
he wasn't a draw in ROH either.
Back to the indies? Ouch...
I was at a loss how a guy who trained for a couple years at a high level gym could look that bad. It appeared he never threw a punch in his life. What's funny is his coaches had to know how terrible he was yet they kept it on the down low very well. I know they were getting paid but still lol.
@Donal Finn set-up🤦🏾♂️
@Donal Finn: no I don't bro, only how poorly unprepared he looked in both fights, it just seems like the court and his trainers raped punk of his pride and his money... Crazy man, all because dude didn't wanna be jerked around by a company by an owner who has let time pass him by on what's a good product.... We will always have the summer of punk though.....which might I add was also bungled 😡🤦🏾♂️
@Donal Finn: bro, you could train me and I'd look better than punk did at any point in his fights... I believe his trainers didn't take punk serious but just decided to take his money while not properly educating him about defense, strikes, and ground submissions, punk thinks wwe raped him but honestly his trainers and the UFC was glad that happen to punk because in all honesty they didn't want him around anyway...
@@chrisiverson5648 nah you would get smashed worse than he did actually haha
To be fair how many pro wrestlers would spend 15 minutes getting punched in the face by a former golden gloves boxing champion, and keep pushing forward?
Obviously there are a few who would've done a lot more than that, but they're not a majority. It's easy to talk shit when you've never stepped in a cage with someone who legitimately wants to kill you.
So..."Punk" isn't just a clever name.
Randy Nicholson This comment deserves more likes. ☝
Well his real name is Phil Brooks I think. I don't know why they named him CM Punk. The name doesn't really fit.
Connor Dripps his wrestling name is Chicago Made Punk.
Connor Dripps WWE did not gave him his name he worked the indies in that nime and came to WWE with that name, give me some wrestlers that came from the indies with their name?
@Bravoler It could be "Child Molester" after marrying AJ Lee.
Ken Shamrock vs CM Punk... they can't BOTH lose!
No contest, nobody wins
We would all lose in that one 😔
Ken Shamrock would murder CM Punk, sure Shamrock is goddamn 90 but he was a legitimate threat, and he still knows how to go, Punk on the other hand, is completely unathletic and couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag, as is with 99.9% of pro wrestlers
Dunno why his losses in UFC would affect his wresling career. Michael Jordan was the drizzling shits in baseball, didn't hurt him when he came back to basketball.
Jesus Zamora
Big difference here is that Jordan didn't have attitude issues nor did he go out of his way to disregard his basketball career.
Ahmed Demha Disregard? CM Punk left because WWE was fucking him. And it's not like he doesn't acknowledge his past - fuck, he still came out to Cult of Personality and still uses the CM Punk name. Just because WWE beat the passion for the business out of him and he didn't want anything to do with the vipers who jockeyed for McMahon's favor while he suffered doesn't mean he's disregarded anything.
The only REAL differences between Jordan and Punk is that the NBA didn't treat him like shit and actually gave him time to heal instead of funding a bullshit lawsuit and badmouthing him every chance they got.
They've objectively fucked guys like Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett over *way* worse than Punk who was one of their best drawing talents and regularly getting pushed.
And call me crazy but if you leave the wrestling business to then try to branching over exclusively into MMA that's kind of turning your back on the business.
Ahmed Demha Just because those guys have no sense of self worth and will swallow any shit McMahon throws their way doesn't mean everyone should be obliged to. Dude was miserable, especially with Dr. Z-Pak not wanting to do his fucking job, so he left. I hope he can finally heal and maybe move on to RoH, Impact or NJPW, but to begrudge him for leaving WWE smacks of entitled WWE markdom.
*Just because those guys have no sense of self worth and will swallow any shit McMahon throws their way doesn't mean everyone should be obliged to.*
Just because you think it's okay for Punk to act like Shawn Micheals/Hulk Hogan doesn't mean that anyone is obliged to think this behavior is okay especially when those two guys have a well known hatedom for it. That also doesn't dispute the point I made about WWE screwing over those guys far worse than Punk ever was.
*Dude was miserable,*
And? Dude was miserable before he came to WWE that's more or less why he has a divisive reputation.
*but to begrudge him for leaving WWE smacks of entitled WWE markdom.*
Pretending that all of Punk's problems are solely on the hands of WWE and none of it being on the hands of Punk and his sense of entitlement is little better.
jim cornette is the truth
He doesnt have a long standing jiu jitsu boxing or college wrestling background . Dont expect him to be too successful in mma .
Just found the CM Punk vs Corey Graves (Sterling J Keenan) match from IWC.
I don’t know about Graves being a rip off CM Punk. The match I found he’s a rip off of Edge and John Morrison
Btw Joe Rogan lays out the EXACT problem being in the UFC is causing
Give Cornette $1M to manage Punk in AEW...he would attract at least 500K viewers gor that run...
More than 500k
10:20 lol corey graves - a lesbian max headroom this is such a unique entertainment experience.
He was being sued by them... Could it have been a CYA type thing cutting contact
James Greim. Exactly. I am willing to bet his attorney told him to cut all contact till after the trial in the first place. Now, I kinda doubt Cory is gonna get any Christmas cards
Cornette talking about wrestlers vs boxers, immediately thought of Brawl For All. 🤦🏿♂️
That shit was great.... The fact they wanted Dr death to win but Bart Gunn did had and still has me tickled to this day, also Bart should of got a push.... Just saying... Dude earned it....
CM Punk would loose all the credibility that he has left if he ever ceases back to wrestle at wwe. The man should go to AEW and try to stick it to WWE
I'm still team Punk. I'm glad he stood up to the McCunts & is playing by his own rules.
Yes, losers love losers. His rules are "don't learn, don't work hard, cry" How's that working out for him?
considering Punk is still making money while doing his own thing I do believe it's working out great. Not getting hit in the head every night and not putting his health in danger every damn night.
You are the loser! Because with commments like yours you are exposing yourself as the guy who will never have a pretty girl to love...! Unlike Punk...!!!
I am also team Punk...!!! And i always will...!!! Please dont't listen to the morons that are insulting you...!!! ;)
Yeah he really showed them by taking their money for 5 and half years
Bill Watts would have got his ass kicked in the UFC. 🤣
All the real mma fans knew he didn’t stand a chance against the top 15, especially once his sparring videos came out. I respect him for making the walk but he really is delusional.
I know exactly what to do with Punk right now that would Get Over...
It does devalue him they use to talk up his martial arts now we now thats bull.
When did he ever talk up his martial arts skills? Michael Cole always talked about his MT training during a match, but that's not the same thing.
Brandon Weinberg that's what I'm referring to they use to say he had a black belt in Muay Thai & Bjj but we all know he doesn't anymore.
uhh you do know WWE was doing that to promote him, not PUNK himself. hell even in his DVD he never mentions doing MMA training. Yeah his moves look like MMA moves, but anyone watching wrestling long enough knows punk wasn't trying to be a MMA wrestler but a rebel.
Wwekifs is bull.
Teddy Hart debunked his martial arts "skills".
"Name a wrestler that isn't tough."
Kenny Omega.
rokmole, spoken like a true ignorant neckbeard.
CM Punk
The Masked Heel Did you not watch Dominion? Kenny Omega is tougher then woodpecker lips.
Randy Nicholson spoken like a true idiotic neckbeard.
Nick Hughes Shawn Michaels is tough but like Punk, he's not a good fighter. Being tough doesn't mean you win your fights. Tough just means you can endure a certain type of punishment. Wrestling is a grueling lifestyle and you don't make it several years in that business without being tough physically to withstand the pain and mentally to overcome being away from family and friends for a long period of time.
Cornette should do a VIDEO podcast. Think about it, that very Cornette face used for the intro would never EXIST if it wasn't for that shoot interview being on VIDEO. Think about all the gold we're missing out on by not seeing Corny's facial expressions.
Corny's takes aged like wine holy shit
Punk was never marketed as a shooter to begin with.
Yes he was.
I love Punk. but I hate his fanbase so much. He's placed himself into a box he can't get out of without being a hypocrite and shitting on his own words and actions.
I think with jericho is that he's no friend and was tryin to get some clout and words for his podcast.
It’s help Jake Hager. His success in Bellator has definitely added a lot to generate interest. Again It always depends.
He was a D1 All American who wrestled Cain Velasquez in college
This aged in a STRANGE way 😅
Let’s clarify this. CM Punk adds tremendous value to “Pro Wrestling” Because of the business “model change” To Sports Entertainment, His presence has no value. Vince, Doesn’t want Pro-Wrestlers. He wants characters. Now, Three years ago, Hunter would be of the same mindset. With the explosion of NXT. One can see Hunter is attempting to return Pro-Wrestling to its believable roots. Until Vince, Is no longer calling the shots, We’re stuck with the shit show that is the business in today’s times.
Well Andre didnt hurt wrestling when he fought Ali, I think that was the bout .
Did have Jim say Micheal colon then say get him to dig into it lol
"LIIIIIIIIKE MUSSOLINI!"
Maybe punk should give up on MMA and go become a bodyguard.
Haha no
Mental masturbation at this point....I was rolling.
He showed up for weigh in...he made weight...he showed up on fight-night...he gave it his best and lost, straight up. He can hold his head up knowing that. Til date he has not been busted for illegal P.E.D's. As far as I'm concerned that puts him far ahead of that blatantly, obvious cheater Lesnar!!!
Lino Flores
Cept Lesnar has wins whether he was on PED's during those wins is up for debate but still.
Ahmed Demha once a cheater, always a cheater. Worse part is he walked around bragging about it!!! "I'm just a jacked White Boy! Deal with it!!!" Even Dana White gave him that 4 month test exemption when he first got back. Now you know, he must've had an overwhelming amount. Or had just been taking them in order to get popped like that!!!
Lino Flores He got exposed as a bitch
Wow Ahmed prefer someone on drugs than someone who loss cleanly and doesn't have a trace of drugs in their system. Also i'm sure the MMA title win brock has might have a * sign next to it since he been busted twice now. i mean damn
@@ahmeddemha6112 and a champion
Yeah he sucked he ‘stole’ a real fighters spot, but where was all that hate when Brock Lesnar did the same? He got a title shot in what, his third fight? No one gave a fuck, only because he was a beast and he kept winning. They only cared with Punk because he wasn’t particularly good. He got embarrassed the world over, but came back and tried again. That takes ENORMOUS balls, when most would curl up in a ball and die.
The thing is he said, "If i talked to anyone like jericho or anyone then they go on their podcast and say punk told me this or that and use it as news or a piece for their show" which he didnt want.
Punk went with the with camp. Duke Roufus is a great trainer but Punk really should of gone to Tristar
Is there any legit reason why Punk can’t just hang it up and forge ahead in a career in commentary for MMA? He has more guts than brains and you can commend that if you want but I doubt he’s a draw anymore in WWE and even less in the UFC
CM Punk hurting the credibility of wrestling? When was the last time wrestling was credible 2004?
i think it was when vince said it's bullshit.
That was a horrible, sad fight to watch, but we all knew what to expect when he got signed to the ufc. Hopefully he takes a break and finds something else to do, he clearly had no business in the UFC, and shouldn't go back to the wwe, one thing is if they just didn't think he was the right guy or they didn't want him to be the right guy, but they went too far when they helped the guy sue him, they flat out just wanted to cost him money.
UA-cam User Agreed. Here's hoping his comics do well, or he goes to wrestle for a company that cares for its talent, or just finds something that makes him happy.
More than anything else, I hope WWE leaves him alone. It's clear he hasn't been given a chance to heal mentally.
Did u watch the fight? Did u have high hopes for Punk?
Little Rock!!
This has aged well.
Facts, Jim nailed it on the head, only 2 minutes in so far buts hes 100% right now
Punk's MMA fights were almost as bad as his WWE matches.
WWE manages to do something with Ronda so I’m sure they can do with him
Greedy D Too true. Once Ronda was presented real competition, she crumbled like a cookie left in milk too long.
Then there's Lesnar, who's wins were assisted by good ol' fashioned steroids.
Punk will be fine.
lol yup
Stop watching shit.
It’s funny that so many people are talking shit about his UFC losing. UFC would never even consider anyone of them.
Brian last makes no sense majority of the time
“Most of the doctors are fuckin job guys from Lancaster Pennsylvania” I dunno why but that just gets the biggest pop out of me
At the end of the day it really boiled down to a case of Ultimate Warrior Syndrome; a legend in his own head who threw a tantrum when the rest of the WWE didn't kowtow to that.
Because the WWE quack misdiagnosed C.M. punk on his staph infection. If he didn't get a second opinion from another doctor, he would have wound up like that smelly guy from the airplane with his back rotting out-dead! Punk is not going to wrestle for some company that almost got him killed. He remembers Owen Hart. He will return to wrestling in the Independent scene but will wrestle five to ten matches a year. That's if he doesn't get any TV deals, or if AJ Lee cleans him out when she divorces him. I would say Punk is returning to wrestling in five years.
Guess what
Punk embarrassed himself and will be remembered as "the best in the world" at being the worst mma fighter of all time. His team did him dirty by not telling him the truth
He let the hype he had in pro wrestling go to his head.
You guys are bunch of trolls you should go in there then
@@nevermindgaming6848 For as much money as he was paid, I would happily step in there. Punk is an arrogant scumbag with the athletic ability of a turtle
He was a cheap imitator of Steve Austin with all the ego and a fraction of the talent. He was a smark darling because for some reason smarks want another "I respect you Mr. Bookerman" moment which news flash, is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Internet geeks always want their favorites to shoot on people when, (at least in the US,) the "shooters" were never shooters to begin with. Everybody jobs, even HBK and Cena, but Punk never got that because he was too busy reading Meltzer's constand praise of him on the internet.
Every time CM Punk cries in public, an angel gets their wings
There must not be many angels.
But why did Punk want to fight in the first place? Someone got into his ear and said oh, yeah!! U can do this, what's the difference between this and taking bumps?
He was a fan of MMA and figured shit why not give it a go, worst case i lose a few times you know
This is strictly my impression of him nothing to base it on other than what I've seen on TV.
There are two types of guys I dislike. I put him in the least offensive group. Worst group are the guys who clearly don't like wrestling. The other group comes off like they think they are bigger than wrestling. And the company is going to be forced into begging them to come back because wrestling cannot survive without them. Almost like they failed to notice. Everytime the greatest wrestler of all time retired...the matches continue.
🎾😂
Three years ago I would have said yes, but look at how much of a star he is now in AEW. So the answer was no, at least to this modern audience.
Anyone that takes pity on him has lost the plot. He privileged his way over more deserving fighters.
Punk should just quit MMA and go work at Hot Topic. Or at a coffee stand.
You mean yourself lol at least he save his money
Stop being a chodeless wrestling mark who defends someone on the internet that doesn't know you. Mkay, sweetie?
Please stay gone for good Punk... you always complained about old timers who came in and stole the spot light from those everyday workers... now you steal the spot light from real fighters... no you’re not the best in the world...
This guy loves defending CM Punk, he must be a huge fan boy
Because punk did nothing wrong he left a company that give no shits about him and people like you call him a crybaby because he almost die due to a guy not doing his job
Hes not going to return in wrestling because of his ego because he lost in ufc and other wrestlers would deminish him in the ring by always throwing that in his face. His ego was shattered when he lost in ufc and he was embarrassed because he was destroyed in that match.
Didnt age well huh dummy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's all pray that he stays away from wrestling, he got exposed for what he really is, someone who's a coward in real life but has a big mouth,.
sooo pretty much everyone on the wwe roster.
Losing two fights badly in the UFC might make him a bad professional fighter, but it in no way makes him a "coward."
A coward would be someone too scared to fight in the UFC at all.
And a coward definitely would not have had the balls to quit a financially lucrative job like he had with the WWE to go pursue something extremely violent that he had absolutely no experience in whatsoever.
A coward would however, get on the internet, call out someone 10x more talented and successful than himself, all while knowing he'll never have to see that person in real life and say it to his face.
So, come to think of it, looks like you're the real coward, Sir. Congrats ;P
WWE SUCKS
Not a CM Punk fan from the get go. Good episode full of info on a nothing.
Nobody cares now
Vince has the last laugh in the end because Punk is a cry baby who has no leg to stand on when he ran his mouth with Corey Graves on his podcast. If he really cared about the UFC or fighting in general, he'd be a Brock Lesnar who probably is laughing his way to the bank Punk gave him when he decided to sissy out and give WWE a reason to get rid of him. I may not agree with everything WWE does but I do agree that they have gotten rid of a cancer who is only proving to them he is more about his mouth than his performing.
HyperActive7 Heaven forbid someone not have their head permanently stuck up the McMahons asses
G M Indeed. Punk may have lost the fight, but he's not an ass kisser, which makes him more of a winner in life than that back-stabbing "friend" of his, Corey Graves.
lmfao hyper bitch please. Vince is so desperate right now pulling in all the legends for these glorified paid indy shows while his main show is losing ratings hard, two weeks in a row.
CM Punk is a joke. Wrestling tradition dictates he be fired. But its Sports entertainment so who gives a shit
Just another bigmouth in love with himself.
cm is nothing but a punk
So are you

Cm punk is easily the most overrated ego maniac I’ve ever seen
Literally name anything thats kept your interest in the last 10 years besides Punk or Daniel Bryan?
How so lol
@@nevermindgaming6848 because he thinks he and his cult followers think he’s great but he was never any good
CM Punk sucks, has always sucked, sucks today, sucks tomorrow, and sucks in the future. CM Punk Sucks
