CM Punk was ahead of his time and would have connected with the mainstream zeitgeist today

ASAP Punky

Punk would be retired. His body was breaking down because he made a name in the Indies with lengthy matches and his pepsi plunges.

Punk is very antisocial, he would have quit WWE in the end.

Punk was really Hot Topic from 2002 when he first hit the Entertainment. He was only really timely at the beginning of his indie run and in 2011 when Occupy happened. Ironically him becoming a legit star kind of parallels how a lot big Occupy people flipped that into tech jobs(Justine Tunney lol) media opportunities and book deals.

So would Brian Pillman.

Pillman would be IWC gawd in 2019

 

[Coerezmoney2212]

The punk-rock element of his gimmick is what all these little rappers are doing nowadays and how a lot of young people want to be like. Not saying wrestling would be cool or not shytty anymore cuz of him, but the tattoos and attitude and weird name and unorthodox look would have been right on the pulse of pop culture. XXXTENTACION was like the hip-hop embodiment of CM Punk in a way

He hasnt been gone that long. U mean of he debuted today? Then mabey the pipe bomb cm punk wasnt the cm pink when he first debuted

 

[Stop_It_5]

a GOAT for sure

lol at wwe and hhh specifically happily burning money in the name of spite and just fukkin everything up intentionally

had this generations version of Bret & Shawn brewing with him and DBry and they grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory
