Like I said, without the obvious unfair advantage that Punk has. The Rock actually had to cut amazing promos that required charisma and doing shyt that nobody other than The Rock could think of and not just go out there to do a shoot interview talking about whatever the fukk, and leave.
I didn't say it was his choice. But he turned the negative heat and went in the zone for like 6 months where he literally became the guy people had trouble booing even though he was a heel.I'm sure if you look at the ratings from that run they would be a lot higher than they were prior to his return or after he left. That's something that can't be disputed.
I already admitted that The Rock's whole gimmick is outdated at this point but you can never take away what he's done in the past.
face. Rock was untouchable during that run, everything he did was gold - everything. From his stuff with The Hurricane to his shyt with Austin and all of the guitar playing/concert shyt. All of that was gold back then. Looking back it might seem corny because it's been played out now but back then it was fresh and he overshadowed that whole roster. When you consider he's been out of the game for a few years at that point - it's huge. After that last match with Goldberg who he basically put over he got on the mic to tell the fans he was leaving again and that whole arena was disappointed as hell. I was 13 at the time and I actually watched wrestling regularly - nobody was tired of that run or Rock's antics at all.
Did you watch anything in the last several months?Tbh, I'm not really into wrestling like that anymore and I don't watch Raw/Smackdown or anything like that. I've just been reading through TSC lately and it's gotten me interested again. I wanted to see what the hype was about CM Punk so I checked out a few youtube videos and I just wasn't impressed. Yea he has balls but he basically just got lucky. He wouldn't be shyt without being able to talk about topics forbidden to everyone else, imo. Just another mid-carder. I've seen the Nash thing which was cool but again, he's over there talking about The Kliq, knee surgeries, and all sorts of other shyt that no one else can talk about. He has an unfair advantage. As far as Sheamus and all the other stuff, idk because I haven't seen any of that.
Stone Cold put over a whole character with catch phrases, merchandise sales, and everything else that came with it. Again, Punk does not have the charisma to be anything like Stone Cold outside of the parallels you drew between his actual personality and the character of Steve Austin. Just the fact that you're justifying Punk by comparing him to Stone Cold means he ain't on the same level. Stone Cold was original and couldn't be compared to anybody, same with The Rock. Punk is not that, breh. 
imagine if dwayne would do shoot promos? he already had punk and his stans crying from one little tweet
but dwayne is a nice guy and doesn't need to shoot for attention like punk
