Vince McMahon Pulls C.M. Punk from UFC on FOX Appearance

[CM Punk]

WWE Champion C.M. Punk will not escort Chael Sonnen to the Octagon for his upcoming UFC fight in Chicago. Punk told MMAFighting.com that Vince McMahon decided against allowing Punk to appear at the January 28 event, which will be broadcast by FOX.

In my opinion, stupid move by Vince. It could've garnered some UFC fans back to WWE.

I'm not really sure if it is a stupid move or not.
WWE fans would watch that event and many of them would be excited because of the product as it is new.
Everyone gets excited with something new.

Let's be honest none of the so called news sites are worth a read as a factual source. Its all speculation.

Yet again, you took the words right out of my mouth @[seabs]

Anyways, bad move on WWE's part. They could have gained more fans easily, which would equal a bigger profit.

LordsOfPain is a lot more credible than let's say wrestlezone.

If this is true, I see it as good or bad, it's debatable. Vince's logic is probably the hardcore Punk fans which there are a lot of, will order UFC just to see Punk. They find out they like the product and boom WWE loses a fan. I see it as Punk getting introduced by the announcers as the wwe champion, UFC fans like the look of him and get back into watching WWE.

@Crayo, I don't understand what you mean by Order when it's on basic cable.

 

[Crayo]

Oh really? I thought UFC was just ppv's lol.

 

[seabs]

Is this the second time they've had a UFC event a on non ppv basis after JDS vs Cain? Or have they done it before that?
