Let’s see. Meh. Just because he left WWE with a bad taste in his mouth, why do you assume his intentions were to "stick it to WWE"? He grew to hate working there because of how things were run, and got burnt out on wrestling in general because of it. He left because he wanted to pursue other things and find happiness. Yeah, it's easy to go "lol got beat in two seconds in his UFC fight!", but it was something he wanted to pursue, and he did it. Beyond that, everything else he's been doing has just been about pursuing happiness and satisfaction. If he actually cared about trying to "stick it to WWE", he would've went back into wrestling straight away, he'd have been tearing it up on the indies and NJPW, and probably cutting some scathing promos about WWE in the meantime. But he didn't. He just wanted to move on from that whole experience and find something new in his life to pursue.

Not by my metric of success, but I think he is probably happier

Ok serious answer, not that the PWB deserves it, but shouldn't the measure of success be how happy you are with life?
Fame, wealth, accomplishments, etc. are all means to an end which should be happiness. Since leaving WWE Punk has gotten married to a woman who we should asume he is in love with. He's written comic books which seems like a fucking dream assignment for anyone who loves comics. He's pursued his various other interests including training for and fighting in the UFC (the outcome was fairly irrelevant; does anyone think Punk truly think he's gonna make a run at the UFC welterweight championship?). He's watched hockey and been on tv shows And in addition he's ridded himself of the toxic environment of WWE and it's bullshit which, by his own admission, was making him miserable. How the fuck has he not been successful since he left WWE?

This board often sucks, but it's good to see some people who get it.
Like Punk has done what personally makes him happy, which should be the measure of his success. I feel like people are judging Punk on their own personal measures instead of his own, which is wrong as fuck.

I like Punk and that he's doing whatever makes him happy, but he probably got more brain injuries in 5 minutes in the octagon than he would have in 5 years of wrestling. So if him playing at UFC cuts 30 years off his life (or makes that even more likely than wrestling), it probably won't have been worth it.

Let’s see. @EffectAndCause His comic book career is currently flopping pretty bad as well. Marvel gave him the Drax ongoing series to write. Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy in his own series? Sounds good. Unfortunately, Punk's writing wasn't very good. The series was cancelled within one year.

Let's see:
- Does whatever he wants when he wants since doesn't have to work - Literally gets paid millions anyway - People still talk about him constantly Given most people don't make millions in their lifetimes doing the things they want and aren't relevant to even have their name known, man's been a massive success since leaving.
This is GameFAQs. People here take great pride in ignoring common sense.

"what personally makes him happy" Plenty of jerk offs are completely happy at home never doing absolutely anything but being fat while thinking anime is proper use of your entire life's time. Those people might die happy, but I wouldn't call them successful at anything.

I don't think anyone's arguing he's not ''doing well'' or making good money. It's just how you measure success.

He is mentally in a better place and less stressed. He's constantly fucking aj Lee. I love punk, I miss punk, and I'm glad he's happy |

Yea, his UFC career has been bad (but seemed he knew what he was walking into be 30+ year old dude with no fighting experience)
As for his comic career, surpised Marvel hasn’t let him right A Thing solo book since that’s supposed to be his favorite character (hence the “It’s Clobberian Time” quote he used in his enternce) The only comic I know he wrote with another co-writer was Drax but that’s about it |

I think while someone like Cody left to try and make a name for himself outside WWE, Punk just left because he was done and wanted out.
I don't think he's been particularly successful, but I also don't think he had any particular drive to be successful - he's just doing some stuff that makes him happy, challenging himself with no pressure to succeed, doing only the stuff that interests him.
Not to be confused with XIII_Stones.

XIII_rocks posted...You've read the comics then? Given the sheer amount of people on this board who detest Punk, I'm surprised that this is the first time I've seen mention of how apparently awful these comics were, since they've been out for a while now. And lo and behold I'm seeing a lot of...pretty decent reviews of his Drax #1, at least? I only did a quick google, but mostly seem pretty good? Fair amount of criticism but mostly like 3+ stars, 7/10 kind of range. Not seeing how they were in any way "panned", and certainly not "widely considered" bombs. I feel like if you google "CM Punk comics review", and the first page of google doesn't even have a single negative review, you can't really argue it was "widely considered" to be a bomb. So basically, the comics were fine. I don't think they make or break Punk's apparently oh-so-important "success" outside of WWE, but let's not misrepresent the facts.

No, I wouldn't say he's been successful since his departure. The parameters were pretty clearly outlined in the OP.
His labors haven't produced fruit since leaving WWE. His fight was repeatedly delayed and when it finally happened it was an ass whooping. His comic book was widely panned. That MTV reality show was a bust. Outlining it in a measure of personal happiness seems odd to me esp. when it comes to a guy that Punk that has been well established as being focused on bigger accomplisments/accolades in his career.

The peak of his popularity was in the WWE. After that his UFC career flopped and then he just faded away.

Nope. He lost basically what amounts to a reverse tug of war to CT, a guy who outweighs him by probably 60-70 pounds and then he lost an elimination to Wes I believe and that elimination was a puzzle. He actually outlasted Bananas in the competition if I’m not mistaken.You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone.

When it comes to UFC, winning is an empirical value to measure success. With Comics he simply can't say he wrote a good issue.
The topic itself says money isn't the measurement, Punk says the same thing. He can be happy and still fail. Punk said himself he doesn't care if he bombs he just wants to try it.
He's bombed.CELLS INTERLINKED WITHIN CELLS:
INTERLINKEDI guess the question people should be asking is has his star power increased or decreased since leaving wwe? I think most will say decreased. Regards of how happy punk is you can’t deny the last few years and his failed ventures have had a negative effect on his star power.- Boards
