History of CM Punk Past-Present

CM Punk born Phillip Brooks is a Ex-Professional wrestler now turned MMA fighter for the UFC. CM Punk is known as one of the best wrestlers of all time inside of the wrestling ring and on the microphone; with his most notable incident being the Pipebomb that he dropped on a episode of Monday Night Raw when he came out and sat on the stage and voiced his frustrations about the company. He has wrestled for several different promotions all over the world such as Ring of Honor, Full Impact Pro, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, NWA-TNA which is now Impact Wrestling and perhaps the biggest promotion in Sports Entertainment today World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE). The CM in CM Punk originally stood for Chick Magnet was a tag team he was thrown into at the last minute in the early stages of his career.

What makes Punk one of the best wrestlers of all time is that every single promotion that he's been apart of he has won that promotion's biggest title and held for longer than 100 days. He has had big matches against wrestling legends John Cena, The Undertaker, AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Sabu, and Colt Cabana who is one of his closest friends.

Before Punk reached the WWE he had spent some time wrestling for several Indy promotions with big name wrestlers like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins, as well as Daniel Bryan. While wrestling on the independent circuit he had won several different championships titles.

In Conclusion, during the year 2014 Punk decided to retire from Professional Wrestling because of several different disputes with Vince McMahon and Triple H. These problems stemmed from Punk feeling as he was being mistreated and that he felt that he deserved more main event opportunities over guys like fan favorite 16 time World Champion John Cena. Now although he was the longest reigning World Champion in the company's history he felt that his career was being wasted so he decided to retire and pursue a career in Mixed Martial Arts with the UFC. During the 2016 calendar year he would finally have his first UFC fight and would end up losing pretty badly in less than 1 minute. The question now remains will CM Punk return to the Octagon for a second fight or will he come out of retirement and return to professional wrestling.
