What success? The success he had headlining since Survivor Series 2011 that didn't budge the needle..lol. Didn't budge the needle to the point that they had to bring in Lesnar once Rock went back to Hollywood post Mania 28. And Bryan was hot since Miami. CM Punk didn't have one fukking thing to do with it. In truth, Punk wouldn't be who he is without Danielson because his whole Best in the WORLD gimmick is a ripoff of Bryan from 2006. Just like that Summer of Punk shyt is a ripoff of the Austin 97 run.
I overlooked these days when he had value but like Riley "Escobar", likes to point out..CM "Heel" just couldn't bring it when it mattered.
