More Details On The Infamous IMPACT WRESTLING Shoot Fight Between CM Punk And Teddy Hart Have Emerged
During CM Punk's short stint in Impact Wrestling (or TNA as it was known at the time), he was involved in a shoot scuffle with Teddy Hart, and now some new details suggest Punk came out on the losing end...
We've heard several different accounts of former WWE Champion CM Punk's shoot encounter with Teddy Hart over the years, but most of them suggested that it was a stalemate with neither man getting the upper hand.
However, a new interview with WCW/TNA backstage man Bill Behrens paints a slightly different picture.
According to him, Hart took Punk down with ease and would have comfortably kicked his ass if Sabu hadn't in intervened.
“It was like a really bad UFC fight in that… all of a sudden to the left, there’s a fight that has literally just started. From the very beginning, it was takedown by Teddy, Punk down, and Teddy’s just destroying him. I think Sabu was walking up with this, but regardless Sabu ran in and got Teddy to focus on him. He broke for Sabu, so Sabu did the save for Punk on that particular one.” “The whole thing, if it lasted more than 20 seconds I’d be surprised. It was short, Punk had no offense and was just covering up. He also wasn’t badly scarred out of it either because Teddy was pulled off pretty quickly, it wasn’t like it lasted a long time. But there was no chance, at least from what we were seeing, that Punk was going to get much of a comeback out of it.”
Why is this still relevant? Well, Punk has a second UFC fight coming up, and after what he witnessed, we can now add Behrens to the list of people that simply don't believe the one-time "Best in The World" is cut out for the the Octagon.
Let's hope Punk proves 'em wrong.
