10 Things I Hate About CM Punk
6. Hes Ragging On People For Being Realistic
Given Punks notorious intolerance for idiots - or people that look at him funny - he exhibited astonishing patience in his first few months of interviews for UFC, answering all of the understandably sceptical questions that people had with a patient equanimity.
Nearly a year and a half later, with an opponent only just named and no date yet set up as to when the two will meet, that scepticism is reaching new heights.
He was already getting justifiable flack for stepping into an unearned contract with the elite of mixed martial arts despite having no fight experience and only minimal training, and at a comparatively advanced age to acquire both. Those two injuries make this inexperienced near forty-year-old rookie seem fragile as well as green.
Its not a stretch for people to wonder aloud whether hell ever actually compete, and its certainly not necessarily trolling when people speculate as to whether his signing is anything more than a publicity stunt on Zuffas part.
Despite this, hes getting more and more sh*tty with people who call him on this, or who even seem like they might be about to. The frustration may be building, but hes got to realise that his credibility is genuinely shot here.
In pro wrestling, CM Punk was the real deal. Sixteen months after announcing his switch to the world of mixed martial arts, hes a running joke, not a contender. He should be working on reversing that perception, not making snide, irritated remarks, blowing interviews and blocking people on Twitter.
