It’s like going back in time to the early UFCs, just putting a guy in the cage with no skills. The boxing guy from UFC1 with 1 glove would have killed him.

If time truly is a flat circle, then we're currently repeating the Spring of 2022 phase of Punk's AEW career.

I don't even watch MMA and can tell Punk is bad at it. God why is making fun of Punk such a good time?

dude finessed people into thinking he was a martial artist when in actuality, the in-ring talent in wwe was so mediocre that doing a high kick and a few knees was mindblowing poo poo. fast forward to 2021 when everyone and their moms are doing Code Reds and actual fighters like dutch satanist Tom Budgen are commonplace, suddenly "a few classes in a dojo" doesn't take you that far and you end up killing your body keeping up with the big boys. loving up the buckshot twice really was indicative of how much further he was athletically compared to like 95% of the AEW roster.

Art is a punchline becase of the one glove bit, but as far as I'm aware he was borderline top 10 Cruiserweight at one point.

Ultimately the one to blame for Punk's farcical MMA run is Dana White. He didn't belong in there with a guy with Gall's BJJ (IIRC, long time since I've been an MMA watcher) background, Gall was a well regarded prospect, Punk was a guy with a road worn body after 15 years pro wrestling who did a BJJ correspondence course. I don't doubt Punk would've preferred to have his MMA debut with the level of attention Batista or Bobby Lashley had but if you get a phone call offering you a lot of money to do something you were going to do anyway you probably say yes too.

Pride would have found a proper can for Punk to crush, and probably paid them to take a dive too just in case.

Punk ready for his first fight would have beaten Art Jimmerson as he was on the day of UFC 1 in under 2 minutes.

But Punk's second opponent was realistically worse than any PRIDE can.

But you know who had a cool factor AND was a god in the ring? Samoa Joe. I know most here, even fans, dont think of Joe that way but like 2001 to like 2005 Samoa Joe was one the best in the ring and on the mic felt like the god of vengeance.

I got up to this point in your post and was like “maybe I am just high at the moment but Samoa Joe was the coolest motherfucker in ROH back in the day” and then you said Joe was the coolest motherfucker ever and I agree

Glad I didn’t know that at the time, it made his rear end kicking much funnier. Punk was pushed hard in the lead up to the fight and the storyline being sold was whether he could adapt to Gall’s striking. The promos didn’t mention he couldn’t grapple either.

It's worth noting Bryan Danielson was a backyarder too and he's the greatest of all time.

The worst thing about everyone here now seeing Punks mma fights it does make Tony Khan saying he feared for his life less believable than when Punk feared Nicholas and Matthew Buck were shooting on him.

I would also fear for my life if two people were brawling in a room full of unwieldy production equipment and some of it fell around me :shrug: Heavy carts and monitors definitely can cause more damage than a Punk strike

it is very funny to think about him trying to do those punches on literally anyone though
