Is Punk at a good age to enter MMA?

Pretty decent, though his body should be as banged up as it is at his age so that's a question mark.

Am I the only one that finds The Beautiful People's theme to be catchy and annoying at the same time?

I'm waiting for TNA to die so no comment.

His age is actually a serious issue, if he wanted to compete in MMA, since he has no real combat background, aside from his casual practice of jiu-jitsu. He'd be basically starting from the raw beginning, which is incredibly difficult for someone his age.

Sort of like Emma's theme.

- The reason for Daniel Bryan's segment and the "Occupy Raw" term was that the company was making fun of how the fans failed at "hijacking" the Raw in CM Punk's hometown of Chicago.

I hope not, it would suck if one of the best segments in years was simply the byproduct of petty BS.

Agreed. If anything, they turned the genuine negative reactions that have been brewing these past two months and turned it into a storyline and gave off the impressions that THE FANS changed the WrestleMania main event.

Well considering that the WWE staff act like petty Junior High kids, I wouldn't be surprised. it's likely a case of Bryan's magic gift of being able to turn chicken sh__t into chicken salad that made it as great as it was.

Yep and he worked the crowd well, I just think he needs more impressive offense for such a big guy.

He's got a lot of work to do in the ring, I feel. I hope Enzo makes it back soon because I like the team. But Cassidy has the right look, right charisma, and right crowd reaction to make it big. I hope he works out because I like what he does.

Agreed, in Enzo's absence he has grown as a character but his ring work needs a lot of polish, and I'd definitely keep them together and have them work as a team for the rest of this year.

I hope with the network NXT gets the recognition it deserves and these guys get the occasional showcase on the big shows because Enzo/Cassady would do great in an arena like MSG. Especially with Cassady being a Queens native. We support our own.

I was looking back at the WWE vs NJPW cards you guys did and in truth I don't have enough interest in NJPW to do one myself but I think Okada vs Bryan and Cesaro vs Shibata would be awesome.

However I think Cena vs Tanahashi would be bland as both guys work better with a contrasting opponent. I'd go for Tanahasi vs Orton and Cena vs Devitt.

 

[NDX]

All that's missing is the vulture chariot entrance from WM9 and the hands from whatever WM that was.

When was hit lit on fire?

I think that may be the plan, NXT will broaden it's audience through the network and I think we could see some NXT specials done outside of Full Sail, and some NXT feuds even get on the odd WWE PPV.

Man, this was lame as hell haha. It tried to be Austin/Pillman from 1996 and it just came off as hokey.

Anytime I see Hiroshi Tanahashi I think of Goku from Dragonball Z. Which is quite amusing considering that he's like Japan's Cena Whom is WWE's Superman

Anyone else think of Goku when they see Tanahashi's character?

 

[NDX]

Wait a second, this isn't my house!

Is Punk at a good age to enter MMA?

I would say not at all. He's 35 years old. By the time he'd actually get a fight, he'd probably be about 36. This is sort of the time where fighters are kind of peaked if they haven't peaked already. Plus, he's always been a pro wrestling guy. Lesnar at least had an athletic base in collegiate wrestling where he became a division I national champion. Also Lesnar was not in the wrestling business and didn't take as much sustained damage over his career as Punk did.

Punk is so popular, I am sure some sort of promotion will give him a shot to try and make a quick buck. I just don't see him getting very far unless he's getting very selective opponents.

MMA outlets are going to jump all over this though because Punk is so popular and a huge star. Brock Lesnar always gets tons of headlines for MMA, so they would milk any Punk story for all its worth.
