Roman: Punk Wasn’t As Good Or Over As Cena, Didnt Move The Needle Like The Rock

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

This what nikkas not getting, or don't want to get I don't fukking know. The WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world, I would hope a guy they pushed above anybody else for 10+ years would be at least a little known outside of wrestling

Any time the fans got behind literally anybody else, the WWE tried their damn hardest to sabotage and pull the rug under anybody who got hot

I'm not mentioning Rock, because that's a given. But nikkas being willfully obtuse and parroting WWE nonsense with Cena. Punk gave WWE one of their most talked about moments with the Pipebomb, yet they sabotaged and fukked with it until the angle wasn't hot anymore

These nikkas had Cena main event PPV's vs John Lauranitis bro, while Punk was champion

Thats why I stopped arguing. Its so blatant that Punk was/is super over that im not about battling the revisionist history

Um, you guys do know that the Rock was in one of the biggest drawing eras of all time, right? So yes, Roman is correct. While Punk has indeed moved the needle, he hasn't moved the needle like THE ROCK. Semantics I know, but very relevant in this case. Carry on.

nobody has a problem with the rock part

The store had a constant stream of people according to the manager. I asked if they'd have the dated shirts moving forward and she didn't know. Apparently she didn't even know they had shirts on deck

Austin is more over than Rock to wrestling fans to this day

Don't kill me @R=G but facts are facts

Stone Cold or The Rock?

Naw, 09 Jeff was the highest seller in merchandise. nikka had people booing undertaker.

WWE was pretty awful in that era too, post Benoit/early PG programming.

People should go back and listen to some of the pops Jeff was getting on smackdown in late 08/09. He was over over. ..

can’t downplay his historic significance or revise that era

Rock, Hogan, and Ausitn are on a tier by themselves though so the same thing can be said about 99% of wrestlers which makes the conversation/'hot take' pointless.

Stone Cold or The Rock?

I love Rock. We got prime MJ and prime LeBron in the same era with those two. I'll forever be grateful I got to witness it.

I just think Austin is slightly more over and revered in the WRESTLING BUBBLE. Now outside of that, yeah, Rock is the man.

 

[Killer Instinct]

Roman is a household name now

What the fukk is wrong with you?

 

[Wacky D]

What did John Cena do, aside from chasing fans away from the WWE? Why is he mentioned with the rock? Because he looks like a brolic Wahlberg and is having a good acting career AFTER the fact?

Cm punk & Bryan Danielson saved that sinking ship and got no credit.

Roman/Cena was horrific last night.

They saved the sinking ship. Bro be for real all they did was attract nerds and neckbeards that's obsessed with workrate and match quality.

I wasn't even watching WWE at the time and I knew about cm punks pipebomb. And those Danielson. "YES" chants were apart of American culture. I done seen whole ass arenas full of people do that chit in unison during sporting events.

But go ahead and enjoy the roman/Cena replay. Don't mind me.
