Frye: Punk’s gonna find out like Lesnar did

The signing of CM Punk remains controversial. and likely will until he fights decently. In the mean time, figures in the sport continue to weigh in on both side. Yesterday, Cole Miller said CM Punk had a better ground game than half the fighters in the UFC. Today comes word from Don Frye that it’s a pip dream.

I thought he pulled out like 4 hours after he signed the contract,” said Frye. “I thought maybe the common sense fairy came by and tapped him on his shoulder and said ‘hey dumbass, this isn’t WWE’. I mean god damn it, who’s that big blonde fairy who has the belt for the WWE – from North Dakota, or South Dakota, or one of them. East Dakota? The Minnesota Viking. What’s his name? Yeah Lesnar. Yeah he found out real fast. He was supposed to be god’s answer to Satan, or Satan’s answer to Christ, and he found out real fast that’s not the place to be. He got hit, and man it changed his – he wanted to back, go to work in McDonalds.

Punk has said he will be training at Roufusport, and hope to fight towards the end of 2015. Frye was asked if he thought Punk could earn the requisite skills in that time.

No,” he said. “No, I think it’s a pipe dream, you know. It’s a pipe dream. Back when this thing first started out, you know everybody likes to compare the difference; and everybody when they first started, everybody was a world champion. One, or two, or three, or four, or five times world champion at whatever style they were, you know. Or a 10 time national wrestling champ. They had all been doing it for 10, 15, 20 years. And somebody just can’t sit there watching the show on the couch eating Fritos and say ‘hey I think I can do this’. Nah you’re an idiot. You’re going to get hurt and you to deserve to get hurt for thinking that way.
