F***ing Savage. You can hate Steph or be a fan of Punk and still appreciate the savagery. That hit she landed was harder than one his punches CM Punk attempts to bring the PWG "Slow Motion" spot to UFC

I'm a huge Punk Mark but that's hilarious. And appropriate considering Punks stupid MMA stunt.

Sage lasted a whole round with Gall. His only other UFC opponent was a guy that hadnt fought in years and was taken out of mothballs specifically for that fight. So Punk did better than that guy.....but thats it. Even the one professional pre UFC fight Gall had the dude lasted almost a minute longer than Punk. and the ref should have called Punk earlier. once he was in the choke Punk was done. Pretty much! I remember on the night though some people saying 'Well! Look at how well he defended the choke! Theres promise there." Like. Come on man.

32 likes...wow, that's actually the most liked thing I've ever posted here. Doubt it goes further than that, but I'd love to hit the club one day.

I'm generally indifferent to Stephanie and I think Punk was an extremely talented wrestler, but that was some funny ass shit.

I thought the line was pretty contrived, and Steph delivered it like they'd been sitting on it for a while and were just waiting on a chance to roll it out, so I'd not really file this one in the "savage burn" category.
That said, anything that shuts down the chants is fine by me. The irony is that Punk was embraced because he brought change to a stale product, but by continuing to chant for him long after he's gone, it's just further feeding into the company's belief that the biggest draws are the names of yesteryear. If you want fewer Wrestlemanias built around part-timers, show some love to the performers who are there now, rather than chanting for a guy who's made it clear he's happy with his choices and ain't coming back.

Well, at least Punk took a chance with his life and went out and did something outside of his comfort zone, rather than being given a series of jobs he's blatantly unqualified for within his daddy's company and leading them into a decade and a half long period of creative stagnation.

Which is pretty much the same damned thing.

I hate Punk and I'm glad she said that so the sheep will stop chanting that.

Isn't that a distinction without a difference.

I'm going to ask you if "Phil Brooks" would have gotten the same marquee match-up in the premier fighting organization in the world that "CM Punk" did, and ask you re-examine your critique there. CM Punk didn't get there on his skills, or his drive, or anything other than his name. Period. I can't say if it makes him worse than Steph, but it damn sure doesn't make him better.

Yeah, I'm not the biggest Steph fan (though she gets FAR too much grief for every little thing she does), but to belittle her in this context while trying to build up Punk is pretty ironic

Which is pretty much the same damned thing. How did he get celebrity in the first place, was he gifted it because he happened to be the right person's daughter, or did he go out and spend years working for little pay, taking bumps and sleeping in crappy motels while honing his craft to get to the point he's good enough to be hired by a national promotion? He also put his life on hold and his health on the line to train for another sport, much like Brock Lesnar and Batista, the punches he took were as real as those taken by others on that card, people who made more money as a result of his presence, which is something that cannot be said of Stephanie. She's the last person who should be making digs at other people's failures when they step outside of their comfort zones because it's something she's never done and likely never will.

What about the fighter who *wasn't* on the card because Punk was handed an opportunity that a whole lot of other fighters bust their asses to get? Punk got someone else's spot. Sure, maybe that person was a scrub, but why is Punk entitled to the position? Because he wrestled and is buddies with Dana, so he got to persue a fantasy of his?

Being famous in a scripted sport doesn't entitle him to fighting in UFC. Dave had his fight away from the national spotlight against a guy who had skill more then likely similar to his. Brock wrestled in high school and being an athletic freak allowed him to transfer over to UFC with necessary base skills. Facts is that if Punk wanted to fight he could of done it in a lower level. However, he wanted to fight in UFC where the Big stage lights are. Where the best of the best is supposed to fight. His name purely got him there which could be said same if Steph in her position if you want to compare 1:1

Punk stepped out of the comfort zone of being in pretend fights, and into the very uncomfortable zone of getting his head kicked in during a real fight.

Brock had the resume without WWE. Comparing Punk and Brock is an insult to Brock.

At the end of the day Brock had the necessary background to make that transition. While Punk was supposed to had some training that was supposed to help him which it did not at all.
