The Full time thing might depend on how long he spends away from WWE. Given his age right now, his recent injury record, and that he has been careful with his money I don't know if Punk would work for them full time again.

deezy makes valid points, but you never say never in wrestling and stranger things have happened than Punk returning. I think he will be back one day, but also would not be surprised if it never happened. To be honest through I am still not 100% sure that WWE and Punk are not working all of us:hhh2:

Right? Thats what im thinking too. ITS A WORK DAMMIT. Competition brings ratings....UFC could be argued as competition.

So why give UFC one of their stars to pop buy rates? Makes no sense.

Also, if Brooks' gets beat by nobody and it's a KO, it doesn't help either side out if it was some elaborate work. I doubt Zuffa would ever want to put the legitimacy of their product in any doubt. It casted this major shadow for the legacy of Pride FC and all their biggest stars.

I was only a little serious on that guys. Because of the way Pro Wrestling works, and with the Internet and everything it does make you wonder though.

Lets just think this whole "work" theory through shall we?

- he called Ryback "steroid guy" which means he called the Wellness Policy a crock of shit.

- he buried their concussion protocol and buried Dr Amman as some moron who doesn't even know what staph infection is.

If this was some kind of work, why would you throw out allegations like that? That's like Billy Graham levels of "Vince pushed steroids on us" and "Patt Patterson is an evil fag who preys on children".

It makes no sense to have someone say something that could potentially restart all the shit they went through in the Benoit aftermath.

Not everything he said is leading to a work, just the idea of UFC and WWE together somehow...WWE has got to think off ways to 'beat' the internet where everything is leaked. The only way they can do that IMO is by leading us on in every other direction, and then BOOM; were shocked.

But what would the benefit of that be? You duped people who shit on your product and they'll still shit on it. Way to go.

Not to mention the UFC pissing off their fanbase by participating in worked programs. Why would they fuck with something it took 21 years to legitimize? It's just stupid.

Also, it's not hard to work smart marks.....they believe anything that is on dirtsheet sites. They are more gullible than fans from India.

Of course it's a work, it's setting up Vince & HHH vs. Dana & Punk at Mania...

Punk looked like he was stunned by a jab when Todd Grisham said when you were in wwe you openly complained of part timers coming in and taking spots and spotlight from guys who have been there and earned it; yet you're doing the same in UFC.

Todd hit him like when he was bitch slapping TNA fans on byte this lmfao

You can point out the hypocrisy until you're blue in the face. His hardcore and quite frankly delusional fans will never see it. I'm not saying if you are a punk fan you are delusional, just the guys who think he is some sort of martyr.

I'm bored of talking about him, more importantly, I'm tired of his fanboys who can't see how the guy worked them like a televangelist.

Just watched the UFC Q&A....if ever there was proof that MMA mouthbreathers are worse than IWC smarks.....

I actually felt sympathy for Punk.
