when you look at all around wrestlers, its hard to argue that they are not the best in the world. So it is pretty much true. Now everyone will say no but this and that and blah blah blah, but they Are great talkers, great in ring workers, and great at building fueds. If you look at the best fueds of the past 5 years, both of their names will come up alot. They cut the best promo on raw and will probably be the best match at wresltemania.
Now if you guys are talking kayfab then cm punk can call himself the best in the world because he is the wwe champion, and chris jericho can call himself the best in the world because he has won more titles than any active wrestler in the wwe, more than cena, more than orton, and more than cm punk. He also beat the rock and stone cold in the same night.
Now if your talking about how they are booked, then your crazy. Cm punk never lost to daniel bryan cleanly. He was screwed everytime he faced him. And thats the world heavyweight champion. He cant lose steam either. So having punk beat bryan would be stupid. Now if you think punk just should just squash everyone, and go in with guys that you know he'll beat, than what would make people watch. You put him in there with a guy that you know people will watch their match. And if you are talking about jericho, he was the last elimination in the royal rumble, he eliminated 3 guys in the chamber. He won the battle royal for the match. He hasn't lost a singles match since he has been back.
I swear sometimes i think wwe is right in saying you guys don't know what you really want. I mean if you guys had your way then all we would see is squash matches.
