IT'S BERNIE SANDERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
I think he's actually going all the way this time. Biden appears to be going senile. Nobody else has the juice.

I think he's done with wrestling for good. I could see him maybe doing a WWE legends deal down the line and maybe get inducted into the HOF. I don't see wrestling for any promotion whether it be WWE, AEW, NJPW, etc.

Report: CM Punk’s agent contacted Fox about WWE studio show job
Report: CM Punk’s agent contacted Fox about WWE studio show job

Sensing a ‘CM Punk fires his agent’ post in the future.
Maybe all the smoke about CM Punk not ready to 100% live pro wrestling for good is actually a full on fire. When not teasing Cody Rhodes on Twitter or getting into fight’s with MMA fans, career-wise Punk may be looking to get back with of all companies the WWE?
From the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required and encouraged) Dave Meltzer reports on the possibility of very strange bedfellows roaming the halls of Fox Sports 1.
“CAA, which represents Punk and also represents WWE, has had an agent reach out to FOX head honchos about Punk as a co-host of the upcoming new FS 1 talk show. From a WWE standpoint, my gut is that they’d hate the idea. He’d be working for FOX, not WWE. We’re told there have been no negotiations at all regarding that. The impression is WWE wouldn’t like it but things change daily.”
Would love to live in a timeline where this scenario is actually possible.
Back to reality where television partners do not hire people openly critical of their product to anchor down weekly studio shows. Could not imagine the NFL or MLB green lighting Fox hiring someone to work for them that has such an adversarial relationship towards their leagues.
It was a little over a year ago when Punk and his former friend Colt Cabana wrapped up a trial with WWE’s Dr. Chris Amman.
Unsure if Punk’s agent would reach out to a big network without the permission of their client. Is this report perhaps a sign that CM Punk is open to working with WWE again in the future?

pay attention. never once said Punk was part of the worst drawing PPV's "of all time". the exact statement was
"the PPV's that he took part in were some of the worst drawing PPV's each year for UFC"
and they were as shown in the PPV buy post. the 2016 PPV was the 8th lowest buy out of 13 PPV's that year and the 2018 PPV was the 10th lowest buy out of 13.
also, $500,000 obviously isn't "chump change" as you say for a regular nobody in the UFC. however for a supposed "star" like CM Punk it absolutely is.
why compare him to Brock or Ronda? because again in the original post the OP was bringing up numbers and creative control options that bigger stars didn't even have. (suggesting $12M for Punk, 100% residuals on merchandise, full creative control, etc.).
and last but not least about the "He wasn't even the headliner on any of those cards" statement. did you watch the lead-up to those fights? have you seen the commercials, ads, billboards, DVD covers, media etc., etc.? Punk absolutely was used as headlining those cards even more so than the actual "main event" of those shows.
hell, UFC even did a multi-episode documentary series specifically on Punk the weeks leading up to the first PPV. they absolutely used him as the drawing power for the shows, but knew they couldn't put an amateur fight last on the card because all of the other fighters would be livid as most of them they were already annoyed at him taking a spot to begin with.

ufc 168 was a Anderson Silva card not Ronda Rousey no idea why they counting that she wasn't the draw to that card or a draw yet.. and to prove that her next fight did 300k in comparison. Not defending punk he isn't a draw but still.

Punk will never go back to WWE unless it’s a HoF induction, and even then I have a feeling he’d turn it down

I heard something similar to this as well but I'm not so sure that he's over what happened. He'd be an Idiot to think that they'd Treat him any differently if he did come back, sure he'd come back in to a Full Push and maybe even a Title Run but eventually he'd be back to Square 1.For what it's worth, at Starcast he basically said he'd take calls from Vince and HHH and that he's over what happened in 2014

Why would anyone think Vince would bring back a problem child he didn't like in the first place who wasn't his type, didn't draw, complained, was involved in a law suit, bashed the company publicly, went to UFC and gets destroyed twice especially when they got certified UFC stars already on the roster.
