Do i champion him post ufc? Absolutely not. Its a bad look. But i get why a person would like its work. If he had any credibility left id enjoy it too. And if all we had to go on was punk going out and putting the work in there'd be no drama. His work would shine above everyone elses and theyd freely choose to model themselves after his example strictly because they want his success for themsevles. Thats what being a role model is.
But thats not what he does. And what i cant get behind is his corrosive personality. Whats happening with punk now is no different than when punk was trying to be a leader in the wwf. He wants to stand in front of the boys and puff his chest out like he's the man cept now not only does everyone know he's a work but theyre not in company ran by adults. So there's no reason to not tell him to shut the fuck up and go sit in the corner and if it blows up from there so what?
Good leaders lead and people follow good leaders because theyre worth following. If you need to stand up and yell and demand they get in line then you arent fit for the job. Good locker room leaders are organically elected by sheer force of merit. You dont roll around in the floor like a toddler until you get your way, or in this case your own time slot.
No one wants to follow him. What greater indictment do you need?

Some people want to follow him, and thats fine. But largely I agree with your point.
Apart from the return excitement and his feud with MJF I cant think of a lot of his thats stood out right now. A part of me is glad hes not facing Starks at the PPV, I would like to see Starks win not lose.
