Completely agree with Destor here. Any self-respecting promoter would be shit-scared about bringing CM Punk in any sort of "bad-ass" role after he got his ass handed to him in the UFC. It reinforces the real/fake divide, and the more you do that, the more people are driven away. I used to think there could be some sort of "ironic attraction" to those sorts of things, but the only people it really appeals to are wrestling fans.

If Punk wanted to get back into wrestling, you'd be a fool not to take him, but you've got to smart about how you book him. I'd suggest that he be brought in as a manager or commentator that is eventually cornered in the ring. Punk's ego, and perhaps rightfully so, is probably too big to put himself in the Bobby Heenan role in 2016/2017 though.

Him as a manager would be great. He can talk and he can bump. I would really be able to get behind that.
