>>10783091>>10783620>>10783748>>10783894The argument that the money he made in UFC justifies the embarrassment he suffered is flawed for several reasons especially the opportunity cost of training for 2 years instead of capitalizing on his fame - he could have done any or all of the following, but didn't
>had a few one-off matches in Japan or wherever>autograph signings which Phil himself once claimed iirc he could make like 15k+ in one day>endorsements>paid speaking appearances, exclusive interviews, etc.But on top of all of that, he irreparably damaged his own brand, where almost all wrestling fans (except trannies) - most of whom were huge fans of his even after he quit - will NEVER take him seriously again, and DESPISE him now, and not in the good heel heat way.
CM Punk's UFC run must be the absolute biggest fall from grace in wrestling history.
