I've got no problem with Punk trying UFC. It was his body and rep he was putting on the line. I can understand MMA fighters being upset that he gets to jump the cue based on his "freak show" status though. It's all about the money though, and it'll be curious to see wha the UFC 203 buyrate is.

First off, I enjoyed Punk losing. But I was aware enough to get that he got paid big bucks because people wanted to see him win or lose.
And these marks don't get it. MMA is just as much a business as it is a sport. If you think Dana would go with another generic frat bro with generic tribal tattoos who you can't tell from the last one instead of a guy with an interesting story who will likely net you a swimming pool full of money, you're a mark and a fool. I also promise you that these folks said precisely dick about Kimbo Slice's run in UFC. But Jones is on to something. A Justin Bieber fight would be the highest grossing event in MMA history. |

Don't really want to see any of them back honestly, but Goldberg would be the least awful imo. Undertaker's mystique is shot at this point, and honestly he doesn't have anywhere to go anymore except maybe the fabled Cena match which even sounds bad at this point. As for Sting I was under the impression that he was physically incapable of a return. Did I miss something?
Goldberg vs Lesnar would be really meh, but at least it'd probably draw some money. Honestly I'd rather see Lesnar start fighting the new guys. I mean Lesnar can't stick around forever, and I think some of the younger talent like Owens, Cesaro, etc could use the rub. They don't even have to win at this point since just surviving a Lesnar attack is sort of a badge of honor now. |

Current rumor going around the net involves Ceasro leaving the WWE shortly after the Best of 7 series with Sheamus is done. Rumor revolves around Vince still not seeing Ceasro as a possible star and Cesaro not agreeing to a contract extension recently.
Supposedly his current contract ends during next month according to 411Mania. Link to the main source of the rumor: http://www.inquisitr.com/3487735/wwe...y-leaving-wwe/ |

Just realized how shitty the cruisers going to RAW will be when theyve had Bryan and Mauro call the matches and they're on SD. I know Graves was involved but i dont think he'll be able to do as good of a job as Mauro

Funniest thing of all this? Exactly none of the naysayers mentioned dick about Mickey, proving how much of a draw Punk was. Gall called his spot, he got some shine, and also got a "high profile" win, and got paid for it... but the conversation is all about "let's laugh/not laugh" at CM Punk. Meanwhile, Dana backs up that Brinks truck to the new bay door he had installed at his financial institution for just such an occasion. |

Also, I would like to point out that Kimbo got put up against Houston Alexander in his first actual MMA fight in UFC. Houston is at best a glass cannon with zero ground game, and at worst a can. But Tom "I only got a UFC title shot because I'm a dick" Lawlor and Tim "I ruled the UFC HW division when all the good Heavyweights were in Japan" Sylvia had nothing to say.

Kimbo had 4 MMA fights before joining the UFCI'm not sure about this Punk was paid 500,000 dollars and the PPV did not see much of a bump in viewership

UFC was under the assumption that there was a lot of wrestling fans left. All the Punk fans latched on to someone else. This era is the most fast-paced and if you don't cash in on popularity the next day/week then you're piss out of the shit. I'm sure they still made a crapload of money, but not what they were expecting.

Half? I'd say 90%+ are a result of Vince. Ultimately, if you're the guy in charge, it all comes down to you.

The days of being able to wear a massive portrait of a wrestler on your clothing is long over. $150 for certain humiliation is obscene.

Seems like they couldn't decide on what music for Bossman to use in his second last match. |

Bossman's last match was in a half-empty arena in Japan, against a man dressed as Freddy Krueger?

Actually, reading up on this and apparently after Freddy Krueger, he faced Jim Duggan.
