Captain Log posted:Ed would pretty resoundingly whup his rear end, right? He's been training BJJ under Rorion Gracie for 22 years now, and got his black belt in 2007. Dude takes it seriously. I dunno about "resoundingly whup his rear end" but there's no way Punk competes with Ed in any technical sense.

It is good how people are rationalizing that CM Punk will have better training so he has a good chance to beat his first opponent, because they're discounting the fact that his first opponent will probably have natural ability and also a non-old body. I think if we were anywhere but the internet forumsphere that in an average group of 18-31 year old males, probably half could beat up CM Punk.

Any 18 year old kid could walk to into a gym and say I cant afford to pay and mop the gym mats to train as much as CM Punk

A full-time schedule of shooting for Modern Family is like 90 days/year (and it's hardly grueling stunt work or anything), and he doesn't do much else outside of that. I don't know if O'Neill would necessarily win a fight with Punk but he'd be more than competitive, especially with his size advantage. I don't think Punk has any method of getting a guy to the ground whatsoever, even if we want to allow that he could do something with his opponent once he gets there.

I'd rather it be a BJJ/grappling match because old dudes getting punched is said, but that would be cool.

Punk is training with the Gracies, a Brazilian single is always an option.

Goldie will call the whole thing straight because he doesn't know any better. Punk might even hit a Turk to Sleep.

While it is entirely possible, even likely, that Punk loses because he is 37 years old, the level to which people think he is a weak, inept loser is shameful. That said, Punk gonna win with a flying knee into bulldog followers by a Go to Sleep for the no victory.

It was cool when stone cold Steve Austin smashed beers and threw them around and drank them and rode a 4-wheeler into the wrestling ring. But not as cool as the straight edge wrestler
