Wrestling alum Ernest ‘The Cat’ Miller isn’t impressed by the toughness of CM Punk, who he thinks would be overpowered by some 12-year-olds.
After exiting WWE in 2014, Punk would join the UFC. He would lose both fights, though his second loss was later overturned after his opponent failed a drug test.
On a recent edition of the “Spotlight” podcast, Miller critiqued Punk’s time in the Octagon and compared him to some of the young people he trains in combat. He said,
“I can look at someone and tell whether or not they can fight. When I looked at CM Punk fight, his real fight, I got 12-year-old kids who would knock CM Punk out. Make sure you write that. I think he’s probably the worst fighter. He might be good for wrestling. I don’t understand this business anymore. I don’t understand how a guy can expose himself to be such a sorry fighter, and then the company brings him back to talk badly, like he could beat everybody.
“He had no punching, no power. He didn’t have any movement. I don’t know what the hell he was trying to do. It didn’t look like he was trying to wrestle, but this guy is on TV making millions of dollars talking because the fans today are stupid. They want to believe what they want to believe. You can show somebody something and if they see it, now they have to determine whether they believe it. I just showed you somebody who can’t fight, but you put him in a ring and think he can beat up everybody.”
CM Punk returned to WWE after close to a decade away at Survivor Series last November. He will compete in next week’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
