    CM Punk walked out after RAW on Monday.

    He's pissed that he's worked several days a week for a year and got stuck booked with a match with HHH, instead of main eventing Wrestlemania for the title.

    Batista, who left WWE 4 years ago, comes back a week ago and wins the Royal Rumble and gets a huge push automatically.

    WWE is really the only game in town that could afford him anyways.

    He does have a legit beef though. Rock was gone for 8 years and comes back and wins the title and main events Mania twice. Batista is gone for 4 years come back and in one week wins the Royal Rumble and gets to main event Mania.

    Punk put over Orton two years ago and Undertaker last year at Mania, has been their most consistent guy on the roster and Cena...

    Granted, the Rock is the rock. Batista is not even a quarter of the star the Rock is so I understand the move to give the Rock the belt.

    I didn't want to spoil it so I didn't give the name.

    Cm punk is going to MMA, the ufc I presume. He's good friends with Sonnen and Dana White. Always mentioned how he wants to give it a shot. Just last week in an interview punk said he didn't know if he should start small and work his way up in mma or just go to the UFC.

    Ufc is hurting. Three of Thier four big names (silva, st pierre, Cain) are out. They need headliners. That's why Dana is trying to get Lesnar back. CM Punk has a brand. He'd help sell PPv's.

    UFC is not hurting at all. There numbers continue to do well.

    Cm punk will not be in the UFC. He would get killed. Brock was able to do it bc the HW class at the time was very weak and he was extremely athletic/strong and was a division 1 wrestler so he had a strong base. He also trained for 2 years before competing in the a UFC. cM Punk is already 35.

    He'll try out some minor MMA promotion and get thrown to cans like Batista, Hershel, walker, etc. if punk went to UFC, he'd get dominated and the luster would be gone.

    Why did he stop? He was late 40's but his body was in excellent shape still.

    Have no doubt he could've held his own, maybe not win against big boys but hold his own. Physically he's still a beast.

    Bc the UFC bought Strikeforce and he wasn't good enough for the UFC. He would have no shot.

    The UFC doesn't do gimmick fights expect for Couture Vs Toney. That was just to shut up boxing fans.

    Bah, CM Punk is a whiney bitch. Never been a premiere wrestler and likely never will. They tried their best to push him up the last couple of yrs. "Stars" like Punk, Orton, and Cena are the reason the WWE keeps bringing back the true stars like Lesnar, Batista, and Rock.

    Unlike Cena and Orton, Punk can actually wrestle though.

    Punk's problem he isn't muscular or ripped like Orton or Cena.

    Plus the straight edge look may shy away casual fans.

    They bring back Lesnar, Batista, Rock because they failed at pushing other talent the last 10 years to where Cena and Orton are the main guys.

    Ziggler was hot a year ago and they killed his steam. They keep changing Del Rio to face and heel, they aren't listening to the fans on Daniel Bryan.

    And incase you didn't see, not many fans were happy about Batista winning.

    Punk is a good wrestler. But his persona and ability to carry a crowd are extremely lacking.

    Carp you do have to admit Punks persona and ability is better than Ortons when it comes to carrying a crowd

    Seriously though, does CM have any kind of background? If not, he'll get destroyed if he starts in the UFC.

    BY feeding him old guys that had really trained much. Walker was strong and facing complete noobs.

    CM does have some ju jitsu background, but you can't compete in the UFC anymore based simply on BJJ.

    Quarter?

    Why do you have to insult the Rock like that?

    I watch RAW a lot while doing other things, people in this thread are pretty up on it.

    DBry is getting hosed but if you really think about it, it is "BEST FOR BUSINESS" by keeping him down and the crowd heat on the Authority. Now it is getting out of hand because the crowds are hijacking shows and the lines that they supposed to remember are getting screwed up. Listen to Batista, even Mr. HumongousNostrils Triple HAITCH and Mrs. Puppies McMahon, they even forget their lines when the crowd is on them.

    When DBry is in the house, it is over. He does the best matches, his mic work is superb and he just gets the crowd amped up and the WWE universe is going to feed on this until he gets his belt.

    Sure, but Orton's persona is just to be a "badass" similar to Kane's persona. Both excel when their speaking parts are kept to a minimum and they are simply allowed to be a badass. They keep it pretty simple for him and it works for the most part. They tried to force feed punk down the fans throats and no one is biting. Not to say that he isn't a good wrestler, but he should not be one of the "premiere" stars. But then again, the WWE hasn't brought along any new wrestlers really worth a damn aside from Bryan.
