Phil Baroni would be a decent opponent for his 2nd or 3rd fight in the vein of Old Lion vs "Young" Cub, and the lead-up would be some fantastic stuff. It's all cosmetic.

fatherdog posted:Anyone rooting for Punk to lose is going to have a while to wait, because he's going to be matched up with 0-0 scrubs by a promotion that has every incentive to see him win. Unlike most 0-0 guys Punk has the time and money to train full time with a full range of top-flight coaches, which means that even given the handicaps of age, pro-wrestling-induced wear-and-tear, and (presumably) lack of PEDs, he's going to have an enormous advantage over the first (at bare minimum) two or three opponents he faces, and that's going to take us through the first year or two of his fight career. Not only this but Punk has an advantage in that performing on a big stage in some capacity is second nature to him. The 0-0 fresh faces they pluck out of some fight gym with amateur experience fighting in front of their parents will be overwhelmed by the lights, media, action. They will make this work... for a while at least. Everyone involved is a professional.
