It's not Punk's actual size that matters, it's his actual body. He needs to be more ripped. It would just make him more believable as a threat. For example, Miz has more mass than Punk but Punk looks more threatening due to his overall look so it's not strictly size that is the issue. Both Miz and Punk would be helped a lot by having more definition.
Is his size a big problem? No, not really, as is shown by his success so far. The problem I have is though is that he's treated like a big threat. That's the difference between him and Bryan. Bryan might be small but it's acknowledged and he's considered an underdog. Yes Punk is taller than Bryan but mass wise Bryan looks bigger and in a fight they'd be a pretty even match up. Bryan's whole thing is he makes up for his size in anger and intensity. Punk just wrestles like a normal main eventer, like he's not smaller than guys like Cena, Orton, Sheamus, Triple H etc.
Like what annoys me is Punk not even being a little bit scared of Lesnar and seemingly actually believing he can beat Lesnar's ass. Who is his character kidding? It's just not a believable threat at all when he says he can't wait to get his hands on Lesnar. Even when Triple H was making such threats it was barely believable so what chance does Punk have? There's a difference between being afraid but courageous (what I think Punk should be playing right now) and him legitimately thinking he's equal to Lesnar. It just seems so bloody ridiculous when you look at Punk's size.
A way they could get around his size is acknowledging he has a fighting background or whatever but they never seemingly have I don't think or they don't play on it enough. That would level the playing ground somewhat. Even then, Punk really should work on his look. That's not me "wanting juiced up big guys" but it would just help him so much and he has no excuse. Look at the weight Bryan's gained since coming to WWE and most of that was on a vegan diet. Punk has no excuse apart from seemingly being stubborn.
Is he doing fine right now? Definitely, he's doing more than fine. But if he's always looking to go to the next level and is always looking to improve himself like he always says he should try to at least gain some definition if nothing else. I'm sure I'll get replies saying I'm gay or whatever but that's just how I see it. As a wrestler your look/size matters, more especially when you're a face Punk trying to claim you can't wait to kick Brock Lesnar's ass.

In addition, CM Punk's in ring skills are not good enough to make up for his bad physique.. for example, his signature moves suck and his finisher is often botched. His elbow isn't executed well, his gts barely hits their face, and to be honest i can't see his gts being effective against brock lesnar.. hes just too bulky to be hurt by cm punk's puny knee, unless its a face shot. and also man, lesnar aint going to tap out to the anacanda vice.. why did wwe even make the decision to make punk fight lesnar?
