punk got exactly what he deserved at that UFC fight. The worst part about punk’s story post-wwe is that he’s no longer a superhero, so all his bravado is just coming from some schmo named phil. he’s not actually cm punk without wrestling, he’s completely powerless. before he was a hero or an anti hero. he spoke for people… even if he was really just speaking for himself, it didn’t matter. now every humilation that he has suffered along the way, save the frivolous wwe lawsuit against him and another innocent party, is exactly what he has earned since leaving.
on the other hand, i respect him so much for leaving and i still revere the cm punk character as a holy figure in wrestling, along with Owen Hart who physically died for wrestling’s sins and not his own. Punk is the greatest not only because he was the best performer of our generation with no one able to touch him even at the current moment, but also because he was the only wrestler to ever be smart enough to really leave wrestling and, in typical punk fashion, completely burn the bridge down in the process. the fact that he will (likely) never return is what makes him better than all the kurts, all the brets, all the hbks, and any other legend that came back with their tail between their legs. cm punk the wrestler is completely superpowered, and WWE trying to sell brock lesnar as what a superpowered wrestler “actually” looks like is another pathetic attempt from wwe at telling people how to feel. that company is dead to me for so many reasons, but seeing brock victory after brock victory and the reactions from a completely complacent audience prove that punk was right to leave.
Phil Brooks sucks but cm punk is forever.
Current deck, Swagger was my UR freebie. I also had to do a lot of grinding on both Bret’s before I could pro them.

23 years ago today, “WWF War Zone” was released on Nintendo 64
Although it wasn’t like WCW games on N64, War Zone was the first to include real theme music along with Create a Wrestler options making for one of the best games at its time
Did you enjoy this game as a kid?
A concept: CM Punk and FTR as an stable, with Bret Hart as their manager. Their name would be “TBE”… The best ever.
