Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

I don't think he's committing suicide but I do think it's pretty fuckin' weird given that the dude is more than rich enough to retire and cited wanting his health as a reason for getting out. I'm not saying he's gonna get a severe traumatic brain injury or anything but going from "I'm enjoying retirement!" to an eight fight UFC deal in like a week is slightly odd to me.

As stated by other people, it turns out the last two Art of Wrestling things were excellent stealth promotion for his signing - he didn't say "How's retirement? Oh, I'm signing up with UFC in a week" for good reasons. Otherwise, I can easily believe that not having to constantly wrestle and be on the road all the time makes Punk feel comparatively invincible (even though he isn't).

I hope he enjoys himself doing MMA, he likely won't be champ, but I hope he has a great time.

Well I just had the time of my life.

Everything else is bullshit, Punk doing MMA and being happy makes me happy.

lol are wrestling fans actually mad that he left

Well, he was a very entertaining professional wrestler, so yes, I miss seeing him perform.

I hope he does get to fight in the Octagon soon, though. Because I wish him happiness, and he seems drat happy to be an MMA fighter (most of the time).

If he can't beat Mickey Gall then I don't see how.

Mickey isn't champion, but he isn't at chump level yet. Don't we at least wait until someone loses before we 'always-bad' them?

Punk-Northcutt would still be the cool MMA maths fight to see. Maybe draw reasonably?

Gotten you nowhere in life? Punk's a millionaire who can do what the gently caress he wants?

His 'mental game' poo poo talking needs some work.
