CM Punk’s Wacky Week

Now let’s get to that farce of a UFC fight he participated in.  OK, I respect him for trying it and for actually stepping in the octagon to fight.  The amount you’d have to pay me upfront in cash to do that isn’t worth it to you. I won’t clown him over the results but objectively speaking he was terrible and he doesn’t belong in there, period.  He had no business being on the main card of a UFC show and Dana White only put him there to juice a buyrate off of his name.  I don’t care how much of an aspiration this was for him, he was not skilled enough at it to warrant his placement on the card.  And taking that spot was the culmination of his refutation of all that he championed while he was still in WWE.  Let’s not forget that he frequently complained about part timers like The Rock and Brock Lesnar being able to jump the line and get big matches ahead of guys who were grinding it out every day there.  He did the same thing here.  There are fighters who’d earned a spot on the main show and not the prelims who got bumped for him.

Now I know that he’s a bigger draw so for business purposes you put him in the spot that’s going to make you the most money.  But this is the guy who would not stop pontificating about the evils of that very practice when he came up on the short end (although I wouldn’t call working two main events against the Rock the short end) so for him to participate in it is beyond hypocritical.  But I’ve come to expect that from him.  He’s the guy who dreamed of main eventing WrestleMania but then couldn’t wait to trash the business once he was out and say that nothing mattered.  He’s the guy who cuts people off with the quickness if he feels slighted by them but loves to to riff about integrity, loyalty, and the like.  So him accepting the same benefits that he once railed against shouldn’t shock you.  After all this it wouldn’t surprise me if he did come back to WWE one day.  I figured he was so stubborn that he would never do it but anything’s possible now.  Vince will take anyone back if there’s a gate to be made.

At this point if you’re still out here riding for CM Punk I figure you don’t believe everything that’s out there about him, or you just like the fact that he hates Vince and talks tough about him.  Is he an evil person?  No!  But he’s full of crap, and he should never set foot in an octagon again.
