That was the point idiot. HHH is such a loving egomaniac that he thought any match with him was the main event.

Punk's hard-headed and not really doing poo poo for money, he ain't going back to wrestling anytime soon. Hell, I think despite a big loss tonight he might try his hand at MMA again even.

He could've made a poo poo load of money fake wrestling in the indies but instead tried UFC where he knew he'd probably get his poo poo pushed in

On the converse, he trained within driving distance of his house, rather than travelling all over everywhere to stand around in man panties in front of relatively tiny crowds.

I realize it's a documentary produced to make him look good but apparently he commuted 3 hours both ways to train during his camp.

Nah. UFC specifically signed him to 8 fights because of this possibility

He's never having the 8 fights, but he's also never having a fight that isn't in UFC. A typical contract in that sense, never want someone being one-and-done especially if it's a win because then you can't make more money off of them

Yea there is a difference between 'hilariously outmatched' and 'shameful'. He got his rear end beat and it was funny but at least he backed his poo poo up and, for all the good it did, tried.

Ryan Bader, #4 ranked lhw, acquitted himself against Rumble more embarrassingly than punk by order of magnitude

Nah, I know my limits. The guys in Heavyweight are loving monsters, and no way in hell could I ever cut to 205. Train me for 5 years and I'd still be wrecked harder than Punk. :)

really? really? do people actually think this? gently caress me punk marks will do anything in their mind to get him over, is it because of AJ Lee? he absolutely embarrassed himself after two loving years and money no option in training to get destroyed, and people like you are actually commending this? at the very least he's taking someone's spot who can actually fight and make some money for themselves

cm punk did fairly well. thought he was going to weather the storm after he got out of the first choke which would have allowed him to regroup. i wouldn't mind seeing the rematch down the road when both have a few more wins under their belt (assuming they don't put punk up against top level fighters again and he can get some victories)

You are madder than anyone else in the thread right now.

People are saying he got his rear end beat. He didn't get his rear end beat harder than Glover Teixiera did though, did he.

That guy wasnt a top level fighter, he had 2 pro fights. Hes a nobody, and he still destroyed the pro-wrestler.
