Biggest wrestling free agents ever

2002-2004 CM Punk was truly wrestlings "Lebron James"

The first true internet darling

Was the face of ROH (Lebron HS)

Took multiple years to truly win his 1st real title in July 2011 (Lebron finally wining a NBA title in June 2012)

Big return to wrasslin in AEW and won their title (Lebron return and title victory Cavs 2016)

Lmao...right as I just read this a commercial for the Packers bears game and cult of personality is playing through the commercial

Daniel Bryan could be Dwayne Wade. (Won just as many titles as Lebron but still behind him)

Samoa Joe is definitely Carmelo (no true world title victory but seen as important his whole career and continues to pop up in promotions late into his career like NXT and AEW)

Punk signing his wwe contract on the ROH title belt was one of my favorite heel moments ever lol.

But wrestling lebron James is clearly Brock Lesnar.

Wait...do you think that has something to do with cm punk?

cody rhodes?

This is the only answer. How you make a thread and not have the actual answer in the OP... dude left a company found his way on his own while shytting on his ex employer along the way... built a company from the ground up thats seen as legit competition. Has a falling out with them that everyone perceives to be a work because "he would never go back to WWE" then BOOM debuts at wrestlemania. Nobody else had this level of fan fare... the only other legit mark out moment for me was when Razor showed up on WCW

thats seen as legit competition

I don’t know if that is a fair characterization. Just because it’s number two doesn’t mean it’s legit competition. The USFL isn’t legit competition for the NFL.
