Six years ago today, CM Punk defeated John Cena at MITB
- Thread starter Rell Lauren
- Start date
He wasn't a good enough draw and he didn't like the media appearances and extra outside work that comes with being one of the top guys. He was never going to be the true top face of the company despite how much they pushed him.
He proved to them he could do everything Cena could do. He did the media appearances even if he didn't like them.
How was he not a big enough draw? Where's the evidence? He sold more than John Cena and this is in spite of the fact that Cena has more merch than anyone.
What wrong w/ having BOTH Cena and Punk at top, there is this belief there can only be 1 top guy when there has been like 2-3 each generation

Produced, Arranged, Composed and Performed by....
I have to disagree with some of this - he talked about doing a bunch of 'Make-A-Wish' visits on the Colt Cabana podcast. He was also doing stuff like Fallon as well as pop culture stuff with Nerdist and Marc Maron too.
The impression I got was that he couldn't be the top face in the company because of how they pushed him. I mean, they put him on a card under Johnny Ace...
He didn't present himself as a face of the company. Isn't that why taker called him out on it back in 2009?
But Vince fell in love with bum ass Del Rio and totally sanked all that momentum with Punk at Summerlam, then jobbing to HHH in a shyt show for making fun of him, and that stupid HIAC debacle.
CM Punk is not a star. Sorry, not sorry.
*match and moment was lit though.

How did CM Punk make them stars? Explain it to me. Teach me something for the first time since you been here.all of those guys have been near the top of the WWE hierachy for the last 4-5 years (I stopped watching in 2014, but I still hear of them, doesnt matter if you dont like they were still postioned near the top and w/o punk they'd be jobbers
not even touching the HBK/Taker comment
When Bryan win the belt and pursued the belt, Cena got pushed out of the main event. Punk' s title reigns only got last billing against the Rock and those wack Cena rematches. The one in Boston almost got no reaction. It was kind of a sad sight.
You know what gets undersold in that match?

His facial expressions, especially when he realized there was nothing he can do when Punk left through the crowd was top notch. Desperately calling for Del Rio via the announcers booth was a nice touch
