CM Punk Says Being The Best In Wrestling Doesn’t Matter

Former WWE Superstar and current UFC star CM Punk was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated (read the full interview HERE) and they touched on a lot of his opinions on his past employer as well as some of the similarities between UFC and WWE.

When asked what made him a good pro wrestler Punk answered:

“Well, that’s another thing in that phony world. What does it mean to be a good fake wrestler? That’s an identity crisis that I think I struggled with. It doesn’t matter if you’re the best; someone else picks who they want in the top spot.”

When asked why other pro wrestlers don’t jumped to the world of MMA, Punk Said:

“I’ve always been surrounded by guys who talked about it. Half of them talk about it; none of them do it. They have their little comfortable safety net doing WWE stuff, I guess. I would much rather give it a shot than just talk about it.”
