EndOfAnEra Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 No shame in Punk fighting elsewhere and working back to it. I doubt we see that though since he's a bit older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 At the age of 37, not being in a higher weight class, you have to think Punk will not reach the upper echelons of any big fight promotion. However, this is potential value in "freak show matches" like Bellator seem willing to promote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=BK= Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 In a few months he'll be on Talk is Jericho talking about how all the texts he got from the wrestlers after this fight changed his mind on coming back. No way he does this again if UFC doesn't take him up on it once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFC have extracted the value and hype from his first match, but there is still some commercial and promotional value to having the CM Punk name on the event banner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Russo Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Some people are taking way too much delight in Punk losing. Yeah, it was always going to end badly outside of a miracle shot, but I give Punk credit for having the guts to take the kind of chance that most of his armchair critics would be too scared to take themselves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a lot of armchair critics would step up and get submittedin 1 round of an MMA fight for the money he got paid. Difference, is they'll never get the opportunity. He's rightfully going to be laughed at, he got his ass handed to him after two years of the best training when he should have been nowhere near the octagon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Russo Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Not liking Punk for getting a chance he never should have had is one thing, and even that is stupid because the people to criticize for that are the UFC, not Punk. But anyone actually enjoying Punk getting humiliated, or enjoying anyone getting humiliated, is a sad inadequate who's hiding their insecurities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Mom Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I thought it was going to go bad but i didn't think it was going to be that bad. Wow that was rough. I hope he keeps it up though. Mostly because I don't want to see him back in WWE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. He is an unashamed wanker, so I do actively enjoy that it happened. Whilst not on the same scale, the fact that this happened on the same night as Brook vs Golovkin in the boxing seemed to make Punk's piss poor performance seem even more laughable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't see how he was "humbled" or where the whole line of "He thought he could just walk in and be an MMA fighter!" comes from. He never pretended like he was going to be good. He always said he was there to give it a try and nothing more. He was gracious in defeat and wants to get back to work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfAnEra Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The toughest thing about it is that he literally showed nothing. 2 years of work and as soon as he rushed Gall I just shook my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
