Should we acknowledge that CM Punk's accomplishments and 'trailblazing' is being erased because.....

I think he did it first, not necessarily better. And Punk being first/the trailblazer may have more to do with them holding off Bryan's push

We can all agree that Roman Reigns is terrible though

Definitely and no one was arguing the last part of that statement in here until recently. :dead: at Roman catching strays

Yeah. Didn't catch his MNM run so I have no idea what Metro is supposed to mean for Morrison besides metrosexual?

He was still "metrosexual" during his Morrison run. Not sure why he hates a midcarder like Morrison on the same level as Cena and Orton. :mjlol:

Far as the big man/small man argument...

Obviously most of the top guys have been people who had builds and looked like they could whoop your ass, because that's just what the prototype (no pun intended) of a wrestler has always been. It's never been about pushing someone who looks like someone in the audience could square up with 'em. But it's moved past that 1980s big guy mentality a long time ago. Even back then, people like Savage and Piper weren't necessarily big either. And really if you look thru all the years, there's just as many big muscle guys who went nowhere as ones that became stars. Same way we got our Hogans, Warrior, Brock, Batista, etc... there's also a GANG of Ted Arcidi, Barbarian, Warlord, Kurrgan, Nathan Jones, Luther Reigns, Matt Morgan, Chris Masters, Snitsky, Heidenreich, etc. who were big and usually fizzled out fast. I think being big HELPS, but it doesn't ensure a push like it used to. There was a time the idea of a MF 220 pounds being champion was a longshot at best, but it's happened. I don't think there'll ever be a day WWE is just packed with a bunch of Kalistos and Nevilles, but the range in size is more diverse now than it was back in the day.

No idea, maybe because he teamed with Miz, who got shytted on? From what I saw of him, he was on the level of an Evan Bourne where you could appreciate the athleticism but they were kinda bland, almost "vanilla midgets" but not quite there, if that makes sense. Also, I would definitely place Miz over Morrison.

How the fukk is Puke a "trailblazer"? The likes of Jericho and Guerrero were small world champions years before he was doing anything. Those guys were actual trailblazers.

And what "accomplishments" are people referencing? He was a mid card champion who never main-evented Wrestlemania. Philip fans are the most annoying on the planet.
