I am only doing this to see the visual stream of consciousness you will type in response.
Punk is overrated because:
1. His moveset is pedestrian and his execution of said moves borders on the criminally sloppy yet his fanboys tlak him up like he on Bret Hart's level.
actually punk's moveset and striking are as close to stiff muay thai influenced shoot style accurrate as you can get with wwe moveset limitations.
i enjoy seeing his looks stiff but is gentle execution.
namely his stero loud kicks, his enfamous knee to bulldog and slingshot springboard clothesline.
those are the good things about punk. as he actually makes the moves as close to authentically stiff as you can get in a wwe ring.
whereas most wwe performers are so neutered. it looks like they are pawing one another, most of the time.

2. His mic skills are serviceable at best yet his fanboys gush over his promos like he is the second coming of Flair or Dusty.
i just don't see how you do not find his mic skills great.
nobody can recreate duhtay, and nobody can recreate flair.
yet, punk is the what if muay thai trained version of steve corrino and mike sanders, rolled into one.
that could work inring but better on the mic with hof inring psychology.
coupled with a sound stiff moveset and workrate that is as close to authentic striking wise.
you will get from a wwe performer.

3. His charisma/screen presence is sorely lacking yet his fanboys actually think he has major star power even after he looks like the definition of a Vanilla Midget when put into situations wherre he has to be onscreen with legit superstars.
Now you can go to work on your retaliatory screed.
if people praise hbk on the mic and his charisma.
which i personally never thought was great.
then i think punk definately, is naturally more charismatic and funnier than hbk.
with a higher level of keen psychological wit and personality inring.
who is of the same height, ilk and build as a performer.
minus the roids, to blow up his physique.
if, we straight up compared punk to hbk.
plus he has more classic matches, and ramped up faster than hbk, as a singles/tag performer.
nor is phil as overrated as hbk either.
which is more based on the gateway aesthetics of hbk's fanbase.
those hbk stans do not have an actual full knowledge of the history of wrasslin.
[most of hbk's fan picking him because of gateway aesthetics. are as delussional as if i said hulk hogun was the highest quality wrassler inring, of all time. all because he was my gateway entry into watching wrasslin]
when it comes to punk.
punk was one of the few great questionmark to next sureshot original indy talents.
that worked his way up with a high all around quality grassroots movement.
not a political campaign of bullshyt hazing and gamesmanship.
i think maybe you were not familiar with this grassroots rise to stardom.
so you are judging his talents with severe scrutiny.
after he arrived to the big dance.
which is the wrong way to go about it.
what i urge you to do is possibly go look up his ascension. then understand his series in his career.
then maybe you will appreciate what he does and how limited he is, and still produces high quality work.
