So wait, CM Punk is going on some silly reality show, and he also might end up getting wrecked again in the UFC?

drat, what a letdown his post-WWE career has been.

It has to be CT, right? MoTY.

On the last Challenge episode he said at first he was thinking this one might be his last, but now he feels like he's getting his second wind and he wants to do more. It choked me up a little bit.

Punk is without question the worst athlete to ever get a UFC contract.

I refuse to call him a fighter because you have to actually get offense first.

The WwE announcers always made a big deal out of Punks Muay Thai background when he wrestled I just don't understand how he could be so bad

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

it's my understanding that wrestling is Not Real and announcers have the responsibility of selling the illusion of legitimacy to wrestling enthusiasts.

aside from that, fighting is nuanced beyond belief and becoming proficient at the professional level in both striking and grappling at the age of 100 with a lifetime of injuries is actually difficult and requires a lot of time. becoming proficient in both striking and grappling when you start as a child like gall is also difficult and requires a lot of time.

hope this helps.

Uuuuh! Seek ye me?
a lot of people who've spent most of their lives training to become good at fighting and are incredibly athletic gifted are not even good enough to cut it in the ufc. every 0-2 guy who washes out was probably the toughest and most skilled guy at his gym, in his neighborhood, in whatever local promotions he was fighting in. and he lost to someone even better, who lost to someone even better, who lost to a guy who was so good that he got a title shot and was promptly crushed by jon jones.

so really it's not that weird that punk sucks.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

just so we're clear the 100 odd pages believing that punk was unironically supposed to be competitive as a professional fighter were a ruse to trick me into thinking pro wrestling fans were by and large uneducated in the realities of fighting leading me to posting an earnest reply to a seemingly honest question?
