I was really hoping Punk would win. Regardless of what brehs say, he gets my respect for having the balls and determination to get back to this point. Hard work and determination only gets you so far tho when you’re Punk’s age with no experience and no natural athletic ability.
I’ll always wonder what a prime Kurt Angle circa 00’ could have done in the octagon. I think he would’ve went down as one of the best to ever do it. Angle was just a different animal.
