      Then be someone who starves in mediocrity,
      Wrestlers who are happy to just be on the pre show.
      He would rather fail striving for greatness as opposed to being a big fish in a small pond and being satisfied or complacent with being in the Andre the giant battle royal.
      Or even worse, being completely ok with never making it to WWE.
      It is better to fail on the big stage striving for greatness like a WM main event or is it better to succeed as a main event for some small Indy fed ?
      Even main eventing Wembley Stadium for AEW isn't the same as main eventing WrestleMania.

      Does Punk have any credibility left?
      CM Punk is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and one of the guys that got me back into wrestling, but I hate to say it, I think his credibility has taken some massive hits.
      CM Punk is not a badass, nor is he a tough man. We've seen that now. Ziggler is a championship wrestler, and could probably kick his ass IRL. Woods wrestled in high school, same. Cody, same. Hell, Daniel Bryan, even with his size difference, looks like he understands grappling and BJJ basics more than Punk.
      I just have trouble buying that guy as being able to handle people. I know wrestling is fake, but in not seeing most guys actually fight, you can kind of buy into the fact that they'd be able to kick the asses of any number of people. Now I look back at the arguments between Punk and Chris Brown and Punk and Shawn Merriman and wonder "... could those guys take him out actually?"
      At least Brock and Ronda were champions at one point. Punk got beat by a journalist. It's like if Tyson Fury got his ass kicked by Perez Hilton.
      I still got love for the guy, but maybe Punk stays out of both wrestling and MMA and focuses on things like comic books, podcasts and... something. Whatever he can do that's non-physical.

    Punk hit the nail on the head saying AEW is more concerned with putting on a 5 star Meltzer match then actually growing the TV and live crowd audience. The indie stuff doesn't work long term for an American wrestling audience and its only sustained cause Tony's dad is rich.

    I think people are forgetting that the only reason Punk went up to Jack to begin with was because Tony Khan wasn’t doing his job properly. Also, from what Punk describes, Jack sounded pissy for no reason. So, although I don’t defend Punk’s actions, I understand his frustrations. Also, the footage has no audio. So for all we know, Jack said something that ticked him off.

      I dunno. Punk has an ego issue and I think his inability to reign it in is part of the reason he's seen as a dishonest guy. He's willing to twist the facts just enough to not be a lie, but also not be the full truth.
      I truly believe his issues in AEW began when his ego was hurt seeing that some other "Indie" guys did what he said he would do. And because he wasn't immediately shown respect by absolutely everyone in the locker room, he took it personally. His ego is the reason everyone around him seemed "like children."

      @@MegaMarvelMashup no it wasnt. it felt like a normal feud on the surface, based on the first promo. two amazing talkers going at it on the mic, but as the weeks go by, u understand mjf's animosity is more deeper, the rage and hate he has toward punk came from his feeling that his hero left him high n dry, on punks side, it was just any other kid trying to make a name off of him, but as the weeks go by, punk realises he is fighting a monster of his own creation. the culmination at revolution, punk bringing out roh punk, mjfs past hero, was well written too. and it didnt end there, if punk was still there, mjf and punk feud would have way more layers than it had. cuz mjf's character had grown a lot since, so has punk's, the real world championship story showed punk again with a little heelish, angry man who was looking for a problem. punk v mjf feud was great, it even has a documentary on it, because the story telling was that good. it even had the potential to go on to be one of the greats. so u calling it mid, kinda shows ur wrestling knowledge and how u perceive a story.
