CM Punk Says Being the Best in Wrestling Doesn’t Matter

cm punk UFC star CM Punk was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated, and you can check out the entire interview at this link.

When asked what made him a good pro wrestler, Punk had the following to say:

“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 more of his former pro wrestling peers haven’t made the move to 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.”
