Americans: why is CM Punk famous?

[markys00]

Because Zidane actually has exceptional skills in a non fake sport.

Exceptional skills matter anywhere, fake or not

 

[ralek4grammy]

Because he's not a white cis-gendered...forget it, my bad.

I obviously know it's because of his pro wrestling, but why was he "chosen" by the writers/producers to become champ? I only know the guy from UFC, and with all respect i see someone who:

- Is not athletic
- Doesn't have an impressive body (at all)
- Is a pretty boring speaker
- Has little charisma

So what was it? Gotta be something right?

Has a hot wife, knows how to sell out shows, and had good Pops every time he entered the ring. Helps when the script writers push him and let him win the belt. He also would break character here and there.

There's a lot of retarded hillbillies in USA that loves WWE.

When pro wrestling was a regional thing, wwe focused on the northeast, with New York being their biggest supporters. For decades the state of New York catered to wwe while mma has only recently received their licenses to hold professional bouts there.

Google search cm punk podcast colt cobana..

Im not American but to my knowledge this is why cm punk is famous. The podcast is actually an interesting listen as punk comes across as a self entitled dick & hypocritical wanker since his "mma career" has developed.

He's always been entitled, seriously, in interviews a decade before making it big he came off as a dick.

Because there is a part of our culture that likes Pro Wrestling and that is what he did. It's like me asking why Zindine Zidane is famous because most Americans don't watch soccer.

I think most of us just know him as the guy that headbutted someone.

 

[DInoHeelturnTRS]

he's really not. I had no idea who he was before the UFC, and im pretty plugged in.

Your existence won't mean shit without my european country. America is named after Amerigo Vespucci a guy from, guess what? Italy, a european country. Oh and you should thank another Italian guy, Cristoforo Colombo. Learn some history, you ignorant.

AWWWW did I hurt your feelings? You poor Italian thing. Maybe, before we existed, your country had some importance, but for the past 100+ years we've had the power to erase your country from the map. You remind me of those boxers from shithole countries like Puerto Rico or the Thailand who have a huge pride in their heritage and wear their flag in spite of the fact that they come to America and America is where they strike it rich and live their dream, while their countries government didn't offer them 1/4th of what America has. We could treat your country like a dog and make it bark.

 

[MadHouse]

he had decent mic skills and he was given basically an edgelord gimmick while wwe was full blown pg
long story short he was at the right place at the right time with just the right material....needless to say he did own the role

 

[flairleguccijoints]

Didn't you just answer your own question?

"but why was he "chosen" by the writers/producers to become champ?"

He's clearly talking about pro wrestling here.

 

[gunlok]

You were simply too little to remember, but back in the day ending John Cena's 100000-0 win streak was huge.

 

[Packe7]

 

[3nigma]

Pretty sure he was solid on the mic in the WWE and is known for being a very good technical wrestler.

That is a space in which he excels.

 

[CutStryker]

He’s only famous in the WWE, or was

 

[Pride4ever101001000]

Because wrestling fans are weak so they clapped for a guy who was weak, probably too tired/jealous of big guys like John Cena and Brock Lesnar being the big names

Lol go check on your kids they might be in the middle of a school shooting. While you're at it go check on your wife.. Oh, i forgot that you cucks actually like when your girls cheat on you. See ya.

Apart from John and Brock the modern roster are all goofs so it's not surprising to see them pick CM Punk as Champ

 

[315MMAFighter]

So called "American" here, to answer your question.....no idea.

 

[315MMAFighter]

He’s only famous in the WWE, or was

Yea....for what tho? His acting?
