I'm fine with Punk, these people I'm fans of often may be egotastic dicks to some degree irl who knows, he's entertaining. I definitely sided with him on the WWE stuff, his podcast with Cabana was really good. (by sided I mean he sounds in the right, I still buy WWE network etc)

That said, has he been complaining about anything recently? What massive bitter stuff are you talking about?

He was abrasive towards a cop when he was a teen and wrote about it on his live journal.

Eric Bischoff was smartest of all

They'd "randomly" drug test ex-wrestlers who were still technically on the roster but worked in the offices in Atlanta

That still seems like it would be extremely problematic being WCW.

someone posted earlier that punk was a good athlete. I've only seen like 3 of his matches, but I think that is not true, he is not a good athlete and also he is old and not strong and is bad at BJJ and probably worse at kickboxing.

He was a fantastic pro wrestler but that was due to having charisma, promo ability, a great grasp of his character, and in ring psychology. The one knock on him even in a worked sport was lack of natural athleticism (witness his lovely elbow drop)

Bum knees have not stopped former champion Cain Velasquez from fighting as many times as once every two years, so CM Punk is still behind the curve there.

CM Punk is a good comic writer on top of being the greatest wrestler of all time and a great worker for getting UFC to pay for his medical expenses

Maybe when his comic is cancelled shortly for awful sales he can devote more time to training.

Now this is where it gets fairly hilarious people. I literally step out of the car, and once i'm fully stood up, i'm at least a foot taller than this cop. The look on his face was priceless. He takes a step back, and I poo poo you not, gulps. I'd imagine i'm horribly frighting looking by this point, because i'm legit furious that this little bullshit profile stop of my car results in a drug dog harassment. He backs up, never taking his eyes off me, and I nearly back him into traffic...
Officer Justshitinhispants: Um...this is your warning.
Punk: Great ::turns to walk away::
Officer Banana Brains: You need to take this, but before I give it to you, what do you want to tell me about what's in your car?
Punk (now turning green): What?
Officer pleasedontkillme: Is there anything in the car you want to tell me about, I'll give you the chance to tell me the truth, why were you in Nashville?
Punk::raising his fists right in the cops face:: What do my knuckles say?!
Cop: Why were you ::gets cut off by a very angry Punk::
Punk: WHAT. DO. MY. KNUCKLES. SAY?

I think the story Punk tells is that he was hanging with some of the UFC top brass (not Dana) at one of the events and one of them asked him during one of the matches, in a kinda jokey way, if he'd ever considered fighting

At which point Punk is all "hell yeah I've considered it", and visions of sugarplums and PRIDE-esque circus fights start drifting through their heads

Not confirmed nor denied by Zuffa, but Punk claimed that he was at a UFC event with Lorenzo/Dana and then Lorenzo asked him "You ever think about doing this?" to which Punk responded "Hell yes". This was supposedly before he resigned with WWE (contract renewal storyline) and then kept in contact with Lorenzo during his next 2.5 years before walking out of WWE and then signing with them after getting his firing letter. Still hearsay until there is confirmation from the other side.

With how quickly he made an announcement both with them and with Marvel, I'd find it hard to believe he didn't have previous talks with them while in the company. Too quickly timed and random to reach otherwise if there hadn't been mutual interest for some time

KO story about Punk is pretty telling about both of their personalities. Kevin regretting how he "totally bitched out" in particular because in the long run he stayed smart about poo poo, got better, and seems to be protected as gently caress in WWE while Punk continued to start poo poo and used to blow up at people like Edge/Jericho of all people. Also funny how Kevin's probably more amicable and yet is the way better heel character right now by a mile.
