CM Punk was never athletic

[LordisCapitalism]

I came across a video of CM Punk training WWE wrestling and even back then he just wasn't good enough. He was not known for his athletic ability, he was well known rather for his promos. He had great 'mic skills' as WWE pros put it. I was wondering how come Punk never even improved his striking even though he had plenty of time working in one of the best gyms in all of MMA. Couldn't throw a proper kick, a proper punch etc. Aaron Chalmers, a freaking reality star from England took up MMA 3 years ago and now he's undefeated - knocking guys out cold. Yet punk never amounted to anything even he had plenty of time to train, he was doing Gracie Breakdown videos 6 years ago and one of the Gracie's mentioned Punk has been doing BJJ with him for some time.

Anyways here's punk training WWE moves:

This is what he was good at, his mic skills:

I don't see how people liked him in the WWE.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Story just gets more sad by the day

Blame Dana and the UFC for this money hungry debauchery

CM Punk had no business in the UFC and it's just more evident by the day

 

[Championstuff]

I don’t think anyone with any credibility has claimed he was athletic

Can we all stop talking about CM Punk please?

 

[LikeItIs]

Fucking mind blowing revelation.

 

[The ScorpioN]

He was definitely more athletic in the WWE under the "wellness" program.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Looks like athletic is still this months sherdog buzzword.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

jesus fuck hes gone get over it

I don't see how people liked him in the WWE.

my neighbors wanted him to get beat when he came to mma because they said all he did was whine.

i havent seen him wrestle since ecw when he was doin the anaconda vice so i can only assume how bad wwe used him

 

[Bacco]

It's almost like the dude never was an actual athlete to begin with

Like not only no record in mma, but no record in any other fighting sport... or just sport

Like if some bald crap had the power to give to a not-fighter a spot into the greatest mma fighting organization

You may be into something TS, keep the investigation

Can we all stop talking about CM Punk please?

CM Punk’s faults are like Erik Silva’s youthfulness, it never stops.

 

[RetiredSlave]

Hanging off Michael Jackson like a little kid was both sad and pathetic. I hespeck the cajones though.

 

[theincognito]

He had problems just trying to balance himself

 

[trblesome1]

Where’s the gif of him trying to do an arm bar in the wwe, hilarious

 

[sadowolf]

He was definitely more athletic in the WWE under the "wellness" program.

Sad thing is, no he wasn't haha

 

[Fraz]

Once he perfects the standing guillotine, he will become unstoppable.

CM PUNK and I were never friends

Athleticism

Even in pro wrasslin his movements were slow and laboured. Even in that world go and look at a Stone Cold or Bret Hart punches and kicks (yeah fake we know) then look at Punk. The signs were all there he would be terrible
