5 reasons why CM Punk was better off staying in the WWE instead of going to the UFC

#3 Punk was the last of a dying breed

Putting the rest to sleep

In an era saturated with childhood heroes and do-gooders a la John Cena, Punk dared to play a character that revived the interest of people who had given up on the WWE.

Adding my personal account, I wish to thank Punk for not being ‘another brick in the wall’ and for ushering in a paradigm that was much needed to sustain my dying interest in the sports-entertainment business.

With WWE going Parental Guidance, much to the groaning dismay of people my age, Punk was the only entity that kept the business going, pandering both to the young crowds and the seasoned appreciators of the wrestling business.

Punk would have melanged well with the likes of Nakamura, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn and other NXT talents, had he not turned down the contract.

While the old dogs (seasoned-fans) are sick and tired of the ‘Vince-backed Cena/Reigns hegemony’, a new-wave around the likes of the wrestlers mentioned above would be a welcome respite to the ears that are currently sore by the constant drones of “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect”.

Too bad Punk won’t be around if the turnaround happens, though!
