CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan - Who's the better wrestler to you and why?

[Versa]

Better in ring ability + better promo cutting ability

It's the general consensus among wrestlings fans I talk to that that one of these two are the best of the best right now. I also hear Dolph Ziggler's name from time to time but not nearly as much as Punk or Bryan.

I only started watching wrestling again because of The Rock came back and then Lesnar, but AJ's fine ass and the wrestling of these two men along have kept me entertained enough to keep watching. The product would be unwatchable for me if not for them.

Wrestling Ability - Bryan has always been a level above Punk

Promo Ability - Punk used to be about two levels above Bryan () now it's closer since Punk has tamed himself abit.

Right now overall D Bry is killing the game of wrestling.

I enjoy both their work. Although if DB can pull off a better top rope elbow he gets the nod from me.

Is this a thread?

Because if anyone says Punk over Bryan they should be neg repped to oblivion.

 

[krackdagawd]

Bryan, has done more with less and this is coming from someone who likes Punk.

Not a troll thread. I just recently got back into wrestling, so both of these guys are relatively new to me. Their matches at over the limit, no way out(to a lesser extent) and MITB have all been amazing to me and I really struggle to discern a big difference in ability between the two. Maybe my eyes are too untrained wrestling wise.

Daniel Bryan has been and always will be CM Punk's superior. Some think CM Punk is better on the mic..he had a run last summer where he was witty and had to break the 4th wall to get there and he can hit a money promo obviously but in a heel capacity, Daniel Bryan has sounded cleaner and more cohesive this year than Punk. His promos carried Smackdown with accustomed ease this year. Better ring worker? It's not even close. CM Punk is not even better than Natayla yet alone Daniel Bryan who has been on a roll for years now. Face or heel, it doesn't matter. His offense is ultra crisp, he sells like no one else except for maybe Mysterio in the WWE, great submission wrestler, his psychology to get the most out of you in the ring is second to none, and every thing he does count. The strikes, the leg work...all of it. It adds up more as the match goes on and if you are a decent worker who can sell what he gives you, it looks better as the match reaches the finish. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are night and day to me. It's not surprising that they have great matches..who doesn't have great matches in the WWE with Daniel Bryan? The kid has gotten more out of Mark Henry, Big Show, and other half workers than anyone you can name who works in the States.

 

[The Push Man]

Bryan's the best in the business.

 

[Art Barr]

bryan has been the best worker in the business for seven solid years, now.

punk is an incredible talent,...but never was he on dragon's level.

punk is behind aries, aj, joe, daniels as far as workers are concerned.

although i am wildly crazy about his pedigree and work.

as, the other guys i listed.

i also,..think if sabin was given more.

sabin would rank a tad bit higher as well.

punk is the shyt though,....no doubt about that.

i also like the fact he fit the height requirement.

to make it so the indy guys of his distinction could be considered.

so i totally respect him as a pioneer and his contribution.

for the guys in his gen, to break down the stigma.

In the wrestling part, no one in the US is fukkin with that boi D Bry.
Promo game goes to Punk due to the fact that outside of WWE I've seen what the guy can do when not restricted and its truly something special.

Overall, It goes to D Bry because of the beard. Its taken a life of its own and makes his facial expressions that much more vivid which ups his overall performance.

Austin Aries is a nice combination of the two though. Right now he is the best in the world to me due to being the most complete package of a worker.

CM Punk is not even better than Natayla yet alone Daniel Bryan.

+ + + + + + + + =

[Libra Lady]

I like both but I have been enjoying D-Bry more lately.

 

[ThatKidBlackHippy]

so Bryan and Punk is amongst the few things that got a casual viewer interested

But yeah, ever since they were in the indies, Bryan has been seen as the better in ring worker. Punk is clearly good too but Bryan is on another level with his ring work and can be put against any great of any era. Punk was seen as the better promo/charisma guy, tho recently Bryan has closed that gap significantly.

I'll say this tho, Punk's promos in the past have been a lot better than what he's been dropping the past year if thats when you started watching. Youtube his older WWE and indy stuff cuz like some others said the current Punk is nerfed and tamed.
