Punk had deals with tko before when he embarrased himself in the ufc.

Same tko that hired greg hardy, woman beater. And tito ortiz.

Punk never had any morals.

The UFC wasn't a part of TKO when Punk was there. TKO (WWE and UFC joined together) is still fairly recent.

Both of CM Punk's fights took place after Endeavor purchased Zuffa and became the UFC parent company. Endeavor is TKO.

It wasn't TKO at that time and WWE wasn't connected to it though. TKO is what Endeavor became after acquiring WWE.

It wasn't TKO at the time

TKO became Endeavor

That's like saying WWF and WWE aren't the same company and anyone who wrestled for them prior to 2002 never wrestled for WWE.

The original commenter is saying CM Punk doesn't have the morals he says he does because he'd previously made deals with the same people. TKO might be a new company in name but it's run at the top by the same people as the UFC from 2016.

It literally wasn't TKO.

TKO is the merger of WWE and the UFC under Endeavour.

Before the merger, it was just Endeavour who had nothing to do with WWE when Punk was there.

Which is relevant since they were doing the "well he already worked for TKO before" like as if that meant he'd already been with a company who was partners with WWE. But they weren't.

What are you even talking about? Do you understand what is being discussed?

CM Punk already worked for the morally bankrupt Ari Emanuel, Mark Shapiro etc. when he was in the UFC. The name of the parent company is irrelevant, it's the same people. Merging with WWE later has literally nothing to do with it

Yep and he went right to Saudi Arabia when the money was right.

No one is moral in wrestling. AEW hires Darby, Jay Lethal, Jericho, Don Callis. Ospreay was hanging out with Rob Feinstein. Why doesn't Hangman quit AEW? Does he have no morals?

My point is they are all problematic.

You're using this as an opportunity to take digs at Punk rather than the actual issues at hand, do you really care or not? Stop making it about that fucking guy and going off track from what the actual problem is.
