Kevin Nash is not that impressed with Punk's return to WWE.
>"[The match] kinda had like a Japanese feel to it. It started and stopped," Nash saidon "Kliq This"of Punk's December 26 match against Mysterio in Madison Square Garden.The WWE Hall of Famer isn't sure how much of the format of WWE matches, especially Live Event matches, is laid out in advance but assumes that there were some planned spots for Ripley. "I just didn't see like a real heat spot and then a heat set. Three minutes of [Punk] getting his ass beat, where he had a reason to get the people to come...There wasn't any heat."
>Nash believes that Punk isn't quite young enough to wrestle at the pace he used to and also was heavier than Nash had previously seen him, leading Nash to think that Punk's conditioning simply isn't up to the standard that it probably should be for a WWE attraction. But Nash isn't ready to write off Punk's return just like that.
>"He definitely paid for himself," Nash said, admitting that Punk's addition to the cards moved serious tickets. "It's not like he's not going to get better every time he's out there."
