I get people want to defend Punk but using Lesnar or Severn as examples of why he stands a chance in his decision to do MMA is fundamentally flawed.

Not a whole lot I'd wager, since Severn was an extremely accomplished amateur wrestler, with YEARS of competition experience. It's not remotely the same. Also Severn almost made the Olympic team twice. So yeah comparing Punk to him and Brock is like apples and oranges and is ridiculous. Though Jose Canseco has now called out Punk LOL.

Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock both started as pro wrestlers, but they had street cred, Severn was a ver respected amateur wrestler and Shamrock was a god in Pancrase in Japan. Brock Lesnar was an NCAA champion. Lashley wrestled in college. Sean Ohaire had a background in kickboxing. CM Punk hasn't even done a jiu jitsu tournament, by his own admission he has never sparred with a fighter in his life, despite being signed he doesn't know which weight class he's gonna perform in, he has never cut weight in his life. I don't think Punk can cut 10 pounds or more in one day like the fighters are able to do so. I hope Punk accepts Daniel Cormier's offer to train in AKA (they turned another non fighter Hershell Walker into a beast) but Punk says he doesn't want to leave Chicago, and AKA is in San Jose California.

So, what do you guys make of CM Punk vs. Jason David Frank? I think it seems a little unfair to Punk, considering that Jason has the Dragonzord..

Watching this I wondered if Punk had ever seen the show before--loved his Charles Barkley story though.

I don't wanna call staged, but it's very similar to an incident with Chael Sonnen...Which wound up being staged.

I honestly think a small part of this could be a move by Punk so that he pops a huge buyrate so then if he ever wanted to wrestle again he could go back on a Rock/Lesnar schedule ie a mania and maybe summerslam main event and not much else for very big money.
