Former TNA Official Discusses CM Punk’s “Shoot” Fight With Teddy Hart

Former WCW, TNA, and Deep South Wrestling (DSW) official, and current talent agent Bill Behrens recently did an interview with Hannibal TV.

During the interview they discussed the “shoot” fight that happened between CM Punk and Teddy Hart back in TNA. Behrens’ also discussed CM Punk’s next rumored UFC fight.

You can see the highlights of the interview below:

The “shoot” fight between CM Punk and Teddy Hart that happened back in TNA: “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,” Behrens said. “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,” Behrens said. “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.”

If he thinks CM Punk will fight again in the UFC: “They can, he’ll probably lose it. It was one of the strangest things, Punk going into MMA,” Behrens said. “I could see a healthy Daniel Bryan going into MMA, that would make sense to me. But Punk was never really that guy, at least not in my impression.”

CM Punk recently announced that his next UFC fight will be in June at UFC 225 in Chicago. So far no opponent or official announcement from the UFC has been made.
