Moxley has totally capitalised on his WWE exit. In just two weeks, he’s debuted with AEW and NJPW, both of which have been massive successes.
His AEW debut will probably go down as one of the most defining moments in modern wrestling.
Why did Punk have to quit bro’s? It’s not fair.
Punk was nothing but a good promo. He was absolute shit in the ring.
He's still a bore to watch. Pure cringe.
As for Punk, he's Bryan. He had his amazing 2 years.
Punk worked himself into a lawshoot and couldn't wrestle while it was ongoing because it would reduce the severity of his claim against the doctor.
So is Moxley
Defining moments? Wrestling will be dead in less than a decade.
Stop being mad he left WWE, e-drone.
WWE killed Punk love for wrestling. Very different.
>His AEW debut will probably go down as one of the most defining moments in modern wrestling.
kek nice one OP you had me going there. good one
>As for Punk, he's Bryan. He had his amazing 2 years.
Daniel Bryan has been the best thing in wrestling for a decade now and the best thing in the WWE since the build up to WM30 (that includes his run as commissioner of Smackdown). You're a fucking moron if you think he only had 2 amazing years.
How many dimes? How many 5 star matches?
Punk was a legitimate egomaniac and mark for himself who believed falling down in a choreographed manner all his life meant he could step into an MMA octagon with 2 years of training as a 40 year old man and have a career.
>How many dimes?
Got me to start watching WWE again after over 10 years away from it so he drew at least one dime from me. That's a lot more than most shitters can say.
>How many 5 star matches?
Literally dozens unless you're actually going off Meltzer's autistic ratings.
Well, Punk didn't have the serendipity that Mox did. His contract expired during the same month of DoN, the most hyped up wrestling even of the year so far, and he was the main event of that whole thing. His AEW debut alone created loads of buzz around him. But in Punk's case, there was no other game in town in the West. That aside, Mox was just sick of working for Vince, he still wanted to wrestle. Punk got all of his passion for wrestling sucked out of him. He let the biz break him.
Let's be fair here. He thought his 5 years of doing casual bjj classes with the gracies once a month would give him a shot.
Punk didn't need to attempt at reinventing himself before leaving like Ambrose. As much as AEWdrones or Nujapanlets can't admit but leaving the WWE to wrestle anywhere else is a downgrade.
I honestly think if he'd beaten a can he would have headed straight to the indies to start wrestling again but there's a part of him inside that knows he's an absolute laughing stock now and doesn't want to face a crowd.
He's still delusional and thinks he's a tough guy despite all the evidence in the world that he's pathetic. But deep down inside he knows the truth and it won't let him step back into the one thing he was good at and taint that legacy he left behind.
This
As horrible as WWE someone like fucking R-Truth or Heath Slater is still more famous than Kenny Omega or whatever popular Japs name I don't know how to spell out
Punk didn’t have an AEW to run off to. He probably didn’t want to go back to ROH, his body couldn’t handle working NJPW matches regularly, and Impact wouldn’t have been considered.
>As horrible as WWE someone like fucking R-Truth or Heath Slater is still more famous than Kenny Omega or whatever popular Japs name I don't know how to spell out
Uhmmm, try again, sweaty.
Exactly. Punk should never have fought in the UFC but where was he supposed to wrestle?TNA??
>Heath over R-Truth
This hurts my soul brothers.
Punk was worked into a shoot by Brock and started to believe that he was a tough guy that could hang in UFC.
He couldnt handle NJPW but he can handle actual fist fights in the UFC? I think hed be better off in Japan
>wrestling
>big success
This isn't the 90's dude
Punk after WWE
>Sued thanks to a shitty podcast where he embelished tons of stories to make himself look cooler
>Loses best and only long lasting friend he had left because of money
>Signs multimillion UFC contract and proceeds to get exposed in the octagon and turns into a laughing stock
>Loses millions in legal fees
>>Loses millions in legal fees
And millions more in training camps. I doubt he's kept a cent of his UFC money.
He should have done it in 2011, just like he said in that promo.
>Loses best and only long lasting friend he had left because of money
At least he still has Cliff Compton.
He literally just had a match a few hours ago that proves otherwise
I guess the whole free agent thing got over on social media?
WWE makes more money than ever now
oh gee oh wow look and this guy doing his lazy moves and all the new japanlets jizzing everywhere in excitement.
the wwe has 100 matches like this a week, calm down faggots.
no wonder you job to haruhi every week.
You don’t spend money on wrestling, smark, your dimes mean nothing. Just like you have no backing on your star claim yet you denounce Bryan’s biggest fan.
Feeling like you might be trolling me :/
Moxley didn't give up and was hungry for it. He dropped a promo vid the second after his contract was up and has already made two appearances at big events, is in multiple promotions, getting interviewed everywhere, etc... Punk tried some things, I'll give him that, but he turned away from what he was and failed at trying to be something he wasn't.
>Moxley
He could have been a part of the NJPW boom and if he didn't expose himself part of the Okada, Tanahashi, AJ, Omega, Naito, etc legacy, then been a part of All In and MSG then AEW and stuck it to Vince, made big money, and keep all his fans. Punk fucked up big time.
>You don’t spend money on wrestling, smark
I've bought a ticket to every house show they've run here with Bryan on the card, bought two Daniel Bryan tshirts and subscribed to the Network (for like 4 months then I cancelled and went back to pirating). Literally all dimes that were drawn because of Daniel Bryan.
>E-tard seething
kek
Seriously he just absolutely destroyed his legacy. Couldn't even land a Mortal Kombat uppercut after 3 takes. Couldn't even win some "pros vs. amateurs" gameshow. Couldn't even win a match against other old men who have real jobs and families in an amateur tournament and proudly accepted his bronze trophy out of 3 competitors.
It's a fucking tragic downfall honestly. I can't even imagine a worse end to a career.
>His AEW debut will probably go down as one of the most defining moments in modern wrestling.
no it won't. LMAO
And there's no coming back. He'll never be taken seriously again.
worked
Comedy jobber is literally the only role he fills now. Maybe a complete chickenshit delusional heel who talks up his MMA "success" while cheating to win and dodging fights constantly could work but he doesn't have the kind of self-awareness to work a gimmick like that.
Can you imagine him coming back and still calling himself the Best in the World and saying "It's Clobbering Time!"
It's over for him. Better pray his wife keeps selling books because I'm sure his income has dried up completely.
does ROH have copyright over CP Munk? Because he'd unironically fill that role.
Punk couldn't wrestle for another wrestling company without undermining his own lawsuit. So it was a good idea to train in MMA and sign with UFC, but only to keep the mainstream spotlight on himself until the lawsuit concluded. Unfortunately two things happened
>Dana White is not so easily fooled
>Punk started believing his own bullshit
Punk should've just kept claiming about becoming a UFC fighter, then lawsuit concludes, headlines get made, then he suddenly gives Dana back all of his UFC money and declares in a press conference that he's not fooling anyone, he's not an MMA fighter, he's a pro wrestler, and he's the best in the world, and he's going to Wrestle Kingdom or whatever NewJap PPV there is, and by now he'd be running something like AEW.
But that's not the reality we're in. That's not who Phil Brooks is.
>was hailed as king of the indies before he signed
>inspired most of the current crop of top indie guys
>somehow punk isn't relevant anymore
You WWE shills also think Colt Cabana is worthless for some reason
heath is always over when they use him, he is a perfect comedy jobber who has a job for life in wwe
calm down little guy
