What year was CM Punk the best in the world?

[R=G]

The year he was running with the SES gimmick is definitely one. SES>>>Wyatts

Nexus was much bigger and more talked about than Punk in 2010. Lol@dudes acting like Nexus didn't have the wrestling world buzzing as much as Lesnar's return or the Pipe bomb....hilarious.

Lol...the secondary champ role that wouldn't have ever been if the Rock didnt need a credible guy to go over? Haha...Edge was more in the spotlight than that.

Only reason Rock even got the belt was to put over Cena, Ryback should have been the one to beat Punk

Cena wasn't put over though. Came out of it the same. The Rock ended the big Punk fairytale push. They turned on Ryback to keep going even though Ryback drew on PPV...something Punk couldnt do all year.

Even though he came out the same, he was put over. Similar to Rock/Austin WM19. When a wrestler is already one of the greatest there isn't much higher they can go

I see you trying that game

That gif perfectly sums up all the responses thus far to the OP

No, no, no...Bryan didn't have to get any character game up. He just weren't pushed like Punk, Cena, and Blandy was. As soon as he was on his own and not tweener? Crowd treated him like a future legend in the business by MITB 13.

Yeah he did have to get his character game up he was a vanilla nerdy dancing ladies man scrappy vegan wrestler's wrestler before the YES! chant. Hell a decade before he was jobbing to a midcarder John Cena and Jamie Noble. Like Punk, he had a solid fanbase from the beginning but it wasn't until his WHC 2012 reign and the fallout of it where he became THAT nikka in WWE.

U.S. Champion

I didn't even diss Bryan at all in my original post so you can elsewhere

Cena isn't that though. He matters because Lesnar quit.

He Is, Company been on his back 10 years straight

Well he only got the lead spot 9 years ago and he isn't responsible for the major successes of the last several years..Mayweather, Trump, Rock, Lesnar were. He wasn't even allowed back in the main event of Mania until Rock returned. Taker was seen as more important

How long will the Punk chants continue?

Its gotten to the point where its done to be annoying but no one cares.
