Wrestling fans may never get to see CM Punk in the ring again, but fhis supporters can now re-live his former days in TNA.
While the "Best in the World" is more well known in wrestling for his time in places such as Ring of Honor and the WWE, he also had stints in Dixie Carter's organization.
Punk spent some time as a member of TNA (while still with ROH) from 2002-04.
In an upcoming TNA DVD entitled "Best of The Asylum Years Volume 2," Punk will be featured in five of the matches, the last of which includes the tag bout pitting him and Julio Dinero against Sabu and Raven on Feb. 25, 2004, according to WrestlingInc.
The soon-to-be UFC fighter joined the WWE in 2005 and stayed with Vince McMahon's promotion up until January 2014. On the day after the Royal Rumble that year, the former WWE Champion bolted from the company.
Punk said on Colt Cabana's podcast that he was very frustrated with his standing in the WWE and also with the company having him work hurt on many occasions.
The former WWE star then signed with UFC in December 2014, but his debut fight was pushed back multiple times. The most recent reason was because he needed to undergo back surgery to repair the wear and tear he placed on it during his wrestling days.
He was slated to face Mickey Gall, 23, out of New Jersey, but the fight was delayed after the surgery was announced.
Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, hasn't been shy about blasting the WWE and is currently involved in a defamation lawsuwsuit with its doctor, Chris Amann, after he claimed the physician tried to sweep his concussion under the rug at the Royal Rumble on the podcast.
The five-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion said he'll "never ever" return to the organization, so fans who want to see him in the ring again can do so on the upcoming DVD.
It also remains to be seen when he'll actually set foot in the Octagon as at age 37, his time is likely running low.
