This should end well.

At least it won't be bad as Butterbean vs Bart Gunn right?

This is the most CM Punk thing of all time, every bit from the cops being so scared of him to the person he was with calling him Punker and then that CM Punk grew up to be Albert Einstein.

I'm surprised it didn't end with "And everyone stood up and clapped"

After winning a match he'll turn to the crowd and shout "WHAT DO MY KNUCKLES SAY!"

He'll do this after losing, too.

This is how he'll get back in the WWE when he gets hit so hard he'll have amnesia and forget about the years of 2012-14

Part of the reason why Warrior and Bruno came back is that while they hated Vince they were willing to talk to Hunter. Punk otoh could work with Vince at times but never trusted or got along well with Triple H

And HHH is probably really bitter at Punk for walking out when their plan was for him to beat HHH at Wrestlemania which in HHH's eyes is like a main event match at WM.

I don't watch new rasslin' but John Cena appears to be quite good on the mic.

Also the reason CM Punk didn't get pushed is because Vince doesn't actually care if he's clean, Vince loves steroid muscle men and if you don't look like one you're not going to actively get a push.

He's also been spoiled by Cena's only desire in life to be the ultimate company man, who is willing to learn Mandarin to help WWE get into the Chinese market, Punk wouldn't do that.

In retrospect, despite all the legit criticisms Punk has with the WWE, his career trajectory wasn't that bad; I mean he had a career that most people of his stature pre-2015/16 would only dream of getting.

Also, while Punk was champ for a year, he often played second fiddle to John Cena's feud with an old skateboarder turned company stooge in a suit.

To be fair that did lead to that Johnny Ace tribute video

Yes. It's half WWE fans that got burned on the guy leaving and his personality, half MMA fans that are pissed a complete newbie is getting an UFC contract based on fake fighting.

I do like in the years since he walked off, HHH has become the savior of the WWE in the eyes of many WWE fans who were big Punk fans at the time he released that podcast with Colt revealing how much of an rear end in a top hat HHH is.

HHH is not the booker of NXT.

Yeah he's more of the Vince role where he puts the seal of approval for how the show is being run/what they are doing. Which is the point to the investors to make him look good and as a viable replacement for Vince.

Yes but it was a legit answer to the worst first pitch question so it only half counts.

Two standouts from the interview:
The biggest softball question of all time "what is a triangle choke?" to which punk replied "you don't know what a triangle choke is?"

When you wish punk good luck he still responds Luck Is For Losers.

Also great was him being all :smug:

that the Blackhawks would have totally beaten the Penguins for the Cup this year, which is about as comparable as Punk beating Gall

Punk is like me in cutting weight our solutions is to just give up pop and call it a day, maybe go to the local gym for more than 30 minutes every 4 days or so.

If Punk was so great he would have headlined Wrestlemania. And you can tell him I said that.

He was going to get that opportunity, unfortunately he didn't see facing HHH at Mania as a main event (even though he wrestled Undertaker the year prior which is also like wrestling the main event)
