Welp, there goes CM Punk's brain cells. I sure hope that's not true.

Once you beat Punk, maybe he'd join the commentary team instead of dealing with headaches.

Alcohol does make people look dumb and funny, but not smart. Punk's a cool guy.

Detroit_Dogg posted:I was mostly talking about him being cool when everything about him seems to scream the opposite unless you like teetotalers with bad tattoos Let's just perceive him as an arrogant, cocky rear end in a top hat with no fighting ability until we're proven wrong. Captain Log posted:As a recovered alcoholic guy myself, having a view of "Alcohol = bad" is very...well...juvenile. Please don't be offended if you're young and ignore me if you're just joking around. Alcohol use, drug use, all those things are very case by case with the individual. I'm just joking around. Since I myself had nice happy bouts with depression and alcohol and lost my father thanks to his smoke and drinking addictions, I'm no stranger to the fun side of casual drinking. THE ABYSS STARES BACK!

coconono posted:All I want out of this is when Punk gets his rear end kicked in his first UFC fight, Rogan says "Welcome to the UFC, Punk". Considering his dedication so far, even if he gets beaten, it should be entertaining and he won't get beaten little a total bitch. I'm sure everyone's first match and beat down was humbling and difficult unless they're incredibly gifted and Punk is not a gifted fighter, so he needs the time to make this interesting. He's a gifted talker, but not a born mma fighter. Hell, if he can go for more than a round and a half, that's quite an achievement for an 0-0 guy.

I like mma and wrestling posters because they're both massive nerds.fatherdog posted:Roufus says he'd prefer to have been training Punk a full year before he has his first pro fight, for what that's worth. Sounds realistic. It's not like the hype would die down for him anyway. Sending a total rookie to a cage to get beaten isn't fun anyway.

I don't hate on Punk as much as other people because he believes in himself. That's enough to make you a decent person and a role model to youngsters. As long as he keeps a positive attitude even with losses, I'll be interested in what he does in the future. I don't think there's even been someone like punk in MMA as long as I can remember. He's sort of unique. oldpainless posted:They fired him so much and so hard he died. I think I may know who this is but I've probably forgotten his name.

Punk would most likely lose all his matches and end up with a hosed up face, but he would most likely stick with MMA if he actually cares. There's no way he'd be in the octagon with any credible person for his first few matches anyway. The idea of him moving into commentary sounds good. He can talk and he's obviously eager to learn.

Punk was pretty terrible early in training. Even if he fails, I'm sure he come out of this with a lot of experience.

Gonzo McFee posted:It'll be hard for him to use that experience when he's suffering from early onset dementia. Depends how hard he gets hit in the head. I'm surprised not a whole lot of MMA fighters have gone Benoit or died young compared to wrestlers, but then again they have different regimes and lifestyles.

He needs a lot of work not getting hit when striking. He's waaaaay too open. Any dude and dudette can strike and shift their weight, but if you get counter hit, then it's not much of a point unless you got a metal jaw.

Eat Bum Zen posted:i haven't ever seen the phrase "counter-hit" before. you want to say 'countered'. also you're wrong when you say anyone can strike and shift their weight. You can say 'cross countered' too. Hell, I'm just trying to put this in more laymen's terms here since some people don't know. Also, yeah, not all strikes need you to twist and shift but that's just for heavier strikes. Uncle Kitchener fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Sep 4, 2016 |

Tezcatlipoca posted:A cross counter is a specific kind of counter punch that goes over the opponents jab though. Everything you are saying just makes it clear that you don't actually know what you're talking about Isn't a cross counter meant to go over another cross? I thought it applied to both. I do admit I haven't even persued any of this knowledge in a decade so I'm admittedly not sharp. Josuke Higashikata posted:I've also watched anime I have not. Teach me, Senpai!

CM Punk better not give up if he gets hosed, otherwise it'll defeat the whole purpose of him being enhancement talent for new fighters.

Ziggler would've been a better candidate for this sort of thing, considering his amateur background. Still, this showed that people with hard bodies and previous experience or good background are better suited for this sort of transition.

Can Punk really do much outside of going back to the indies for a lot of money? At least he looks good now and probably got some of his health issues taken care of.

If I were to approach this from a combat sports angle I'd say that Punk's career as a fighter was 'too little, too late' and he was bad. If you approach it from a wrestling angle, it's no big deal. People got back into the ring after commiting muder (snuka), getting busted for drugs (too many to list), domestic violence (Steve Austin) and quite possibly, if wrestling continues to be a dumb business, from racist tirades (Hogan).
