I'm not gonna lie. The Q & A was entertaining. However, there was one point where he was asked about jumping right into the UFC and taking the spot from other guys who have to go the long road to enter the UFC. After struggling to find a reason to justify this, Punks answer to this question was that him coming into the UFC would benefit the fighters because of the money he's going to bring to the company.
Now, for people who don't follow wrestling and have no interest in it. CM Punk is well known for his bitching behind the scenes about former part time wrestlers like The Rock and Brock Lensar coming into the WWE and taking up spots from other up and coming wrestlers on the roster. This includes himself because he was temporarily pushed out of the spotlight and main event scene because of their returns. He bitched despite the fact that their presence brought $$$ to the company.
Now, let's not kid ourselves here. Punk is going to be on the PPV main card which is taking the spot away from someone else who worked hard to get to this point. Please Punk fans, tell me how he is not being hypocritical here? If I'm missing something please tell me.
Punk's just going to start in the 4th/5th spot on the main card or the top spot on the prelims.
Most people are hypocrites. I've realized this as my friends have aged and now look down on people for the same shit they did only a few years prior.
theres about 12,000 fighters signed in the ufc, and they keep adding more everyday. hes not taking anyones spot. if theres any fighters bitter they cant get in the ufc, cm punk is not why you cant get in.
Punk has never had issue with those guys coming back. What bothered him was these guys only working 5 shows a year, being given wins over the guys that worked 300 days a year and getting title spots that should go to the guys working all the time.
He put it perfectly on the Colt Cabana podcast. If he puts over Brock, but he's on Raw the next night and Brock isn't, it makes no sense to put Brock over.

You wanna know what else your taking a spot on the front page with your second rate thread and your judgements on a man with more talent in his left thumb then you ever will
Makes sense.
But there are only so many fight cards and they have only so many fights in them.
He is indeed a hypocrite, but at least he's gonna be a rich hypocrite... well, rich-ish anyway.
