Will CM Punk one day surpass the likes of a Y2J, Angle or HBK?

[R=G]

Kurt Angle did alot of illogical shyt..people think because of him being a Olympic wrestler that won a gold medal that he automatically was some equal to Benoit. What you can say about Angle is that he learned very fast and was naturally charismatic. What did his suplexes lead to? When did he ever consistently work over a leg or ankle joint to get to the finish? He just did out of nowhere and out of context. He was aggressive and upped his energy by the end of 2001 but he was some great ring psychologist who could sell, work, or carry like Benoit/Eddie/Mysterio. The WM 21 match is one of the silliest no sell fests you're ever gonna see...

Silly question.

You can't group all them names together and then ask for a yes or no to all of them.

I put Punk in the top 25 of all time IN THE WWE. But Punk's run in 2009>>>2011/2012 in my opinion.

Like I said before, when he comes back in a couple of weeks, he's going to have the biggest pops than anyone on the roster, including Cena.

Even if you what you said had any truth, do you really think CM Punk could touch the Rock in 1999? You will never see anyone do promos like that again..never see anyone talk to anyone like that again...never see a crowd red hot for a eyebrow rise again... Rock in 1999 was hungry and MURDERED his peers, the competition, dudes on other shows, Vince, his family, cussing LIVE and not giving a fukk, burying cats left and right, calling Cripple a queer for the fukk of it, etc. Get real...it's night and day. y

You can want Punk to be Attitude Era level but he's just a kid trying to matter when all the attention is on superior talent.

Watched this vid and it went along PERFECTLY with your argument, Rock's face turn in 1999 was legendary we may never see anything like it again..he was working the mic like a GOD...EPIC shyt Easily one of my fav Rock and it never gets talked about...had the crowd in the palms of his hands hanging on to every word

Dead @ people who seriously think Punk is going to be top 5 or anything close to it. His career has already peaked and he’s nowhere near it.

He hasn’t even drawn as much as other "number two" guys like Batista and Edge. Look at the numbers feuds like Batista/HHH or Edge/Cena did. Punk can't touch that. The only reason he's even the second top guy right now is because Hardy, Batista and Edge left and Trips/Taker/HBK retired or went part-time.

Bigger stars than CM Punk: Rock/Austin/Hogan/Savage/Piper/Andre/Sammartino/Backlund/Cena/Undertaker/HHH/HBK/Bret/Brock/Angle/Foley/Goldberg/Warrior/Flair/Batista/Edge.

He's FAR behind those guys. Punk is in the 20’s or 30’s of all time at best. He’s about on the same level as Randy Orton.

1. The smarks were behind christian in 2005 massively. Had paul hryman bren around, he would have been just as big as Punk but instead they fired him and he went on to be the best WWE reject TNA ever had

2. Jeff Hardy made Punk what he is in WWE. Jeff gave hin credibility

3. Sabu and Raven are instant legends of extreme

how can you gain credibility from someone who has none... hardy has a following of marks but hes a glorified stuntman... he is one of the worst talkers ever to hold the belt in history and hes an average worker without the highspots.

if you really believe jeff hardy is responsible for the incarnation of cm punk that dropped the pipebomb on the wwe and held the title for 400 days... you probably hate wrestling and yourself.

so are you saying HBGOAT vs Kurt at mania was not good? Let me understand how the PWI Match of the Year (2005) winner HBKGOAT had a bad match? Kurt says this was his best match, it was the best match at mania 21 but you saying it was not good? Ok i get that you hate the GOAT but get real, that match was excellent. HBK sold like crazy for Kurt and put over the Angle lock like crazy.
