There's even a bad listicle (like there's another kind of listicle) about it! Though I think the Kelly Kelly thing is a bit of a stretch.

It's actually a joke about how CM Punk dated like 4 or 5 different Divas during his time employed by WWE.

Oh, ok. I retract my previous post and admit I am a dummy. The last time I followed WWE actively was when it was WWF.

Why? When he cheats on her with Rose Namajunas you'll still get to see him get gloriously wrecked, except this time by a name fighter.

By name fighter you mean Rousey, right? Because at this point I'm not confident about Pat Barry managing to not end up knocked out brutally, regardless of opponent.

Vince hates Raven. Someone hired Raven. Vince doesn't know until he sees him on TV and screams "WHO THE gently caress HIRED RAVEN" and demands they fire him.

This is one of those stories I really doubt happened considering Raven was made hardcore champ within like two months and was given a championship match at Wrestlemania with Kane and Big Show when they still kind of mattered soon after. Not to mention that he remain employed from 2000-2003

It cannot be over-emphasized how little the hardcore title mattered in the scheme of things in which it existed. If Kane and Big Show are in a match with Raven, it's so Raven loses to them. That is Raven's only Mania match in four years with the company and he was barely on TV after that.

99% of the hardcore title run was guys considered too unimportant and untalented to go elsewhere on the card and have a garbage match.

Yeah but post that the Invasion happened and Raven was not even close to one of the top guys who got left behind in that mess. It's not really a fair standard.

he literally started training MMA like a month ago, he'll probably want to experience a full camp and maybe do a gym smoker or whatever before he decides if he wants to do it for real or not

It has been explained over and over again that after 6 months they are going to have a sit-down to see where he is preparation wise and go from there. I know he wants to, but I doubt he fights in 2015.

I'd agree with him. Brock trained for like a year before fighting in K1 and he already had experience as a collegiate wrestler, Punk will have absolutely nothing compared to that.

Sounds realistic. It's not like the hype would die down for him anyway. Sending a total rookie to a cage to get beaten isn't fun anyway.

What about the "Vince hates Raven because he did every drug you put in front of him and was Shane's best friend so he gave him all the drugs ever" story?

A "smoker" is when a gym puts together a sparring match that's meant to simulate a fight as closely as possible. They usually do weigh ins, have it in whatever their closest thing to a regulation ring/cage is, and have a ref and corners and some spectators (all of whom are usually all gym members). It's essentially an amateur fight that's held privately.
