He was meant to fight on the show UFC had to use to promote Summerslam so I wonder if Punk threw a tantrum so he could be put on a different PPV.

Day before Backlash if Helwani's correct about that and that schedule's correct

Is Shoemaker's podcast on it's own feed or listed within The Ringer?
I doubt that. There is a FS1 tv series dealing with Punk's debut fight. I can't see him having any grounds after 2 years of not fighting having any say with when he fights.
He's coming up on almost 2 years since his announcement and 3 since his last meaningful wrestling/pop culture TV exposure.

Since the CWC is coming up, WCW talk is perfect. Can get at least a tons of pages of just cruiserweight talk from WCW
Channel 33 feed so far.

I'm dead. How many fights is he signed up for? Or how long is his contract?

Another delay?
Although understandable if there are legit injuries holding him back.
It's listed within the Channel 33 feed from the ringer
I'm convinced this is Rick Moranis.back in my day it was like
He signed a 8 fight deal.
At this point I'm not sure if he will ever fight. Plus with potential new UFC ownership who knows if they even want to deal with him anymore.
Plus even though Gall is supposed to get a big payday out of this he is missing out on fights ad paydays waiting around to see if the 40 year old comic book writer finally feels secure enough in his jiu jitsu to last more than 30 seconds on the ground.
Almost every UFC fighter goes into the cage with some sort of injury from training or previous history. If your injures are bad enough where you can't even ride a workout bike maybe you are better off doing something else with your life.
It's DM, I thought everyone here knew that.
Sonny Onoo is doing more than just hanging out with Ernest Miller. He won a friggin' karate tournament!
Yeeeaaah!

Bobby Heenan losing his mind on Nitro when Goldberg wins is so damn perfect. The whole build up and moment is just made so much better by the crowd.

Maybe this means Punk is coming back for the brand split /smark
How I imagine Zach gets ready for when he enters a new PPV decade
It's more like a resigned "here we go again..."
I'm sure someone can provide me with an appropriate gif.

D-Bry commentating is cool. The few times he's been on commentary he was better than Cole, JBL and Lawler, which isn't saying anything at all but still.
If it works out I'd rather have him be on commentary than GM for Smackdown. Make it Mauro, Graves and D-Bry. Concussions can't keep a good commentary team down.

It makes sense to have a double commentary team for CWC that both know what all the moves are. He won't have to be selling any angles or doing face/heel dynamic so it should be good.

Who does everyone want to win the Cruiserweight Invitational?
Fuck making new stars, I'm all about Tajiri and Brian Kendrick (he's my number one pick so long as he's THE Brian Kendrick)

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I have no reasonable expectation it won't come down to Ibushi and Sabre Jr. since those are both guys NXT is known to be very likely to sign.
They should just bring back a cruiserweight division and put it on one brand with the Women's division on the other...

It's the Zack Sabre Jr. show.

He sleeps maybe 5 hours a day regularly, max. If you do it long enough it becomes normal for your body.

Same. I'm excited purely for the matchups and discovering talent that I haven't seen wrestle before. Also it's fascinating for this kind of thing to exist at all in modern WWE.
I would guess more like 3 or 4. He even watches Smackdown.. SMACKDOWN. In his recaps he does miss a lot of obvious stuff though.

Wow, the return of No Mercy and Backlash and Clash of Champions! When are we getting the return of Bash at the Beach, Halloween Havoc, and War Games?

You mean that's his schedule to fight, or he just refuses to fight until then? Because i could believe either one.

Avatar bet: if CM Punk ever does fight we all must change our avatars to him for a day for every second his match lasts.

Helwani says that's the date they're going to try and do the fight. Gall and Punk are both 1) still training and 2) still filming stuff for the hype show, contract date isn't final yet but they're aiming for UFC 203 in Cleveland Sept 10
Looking forward to 10 days of CM Punk avatars
