Which CM Punk Is Your Favorite?

[Lockard23]

I preferred the Punk this past summer before he turned face. Still, I love him and glad he is finally getting his due, although he has lost some of his edge.

I myself like the Punk of today. The fact he is in the spotlight feuding for the WWE title helps but I have liked him all along including his pre-WWE days.

I would rank some of his WWE 'eras' in this order:
1. Current.
2. 09 title win to losing belt to Undertaker.
3 (TIE). Start in WWE, even the backstage promos on TV and up to his ECW title win, that was a nice little chase he had to get it if I remember. Also his time as a commentator.
4. SES leader
5. 08 title win
6. Treading of water (Tag team with Kingston and IC title win around that time) from losing his first world title to what at the time I thought was a pointless second MITB (instead of Christian) up until his title win of course.

This is the most self righteous response I have ever heard. It has been at least 5-6 years since any internet fan has liked John Cena, and I don't remember many liking him then.

What the hell kind of a ridiculous statement. There are still plenty of internet fans who like Cena, both now and 5-6 years ago. You just can't tell because they're not the ones bitching about him, but they do exist.

As for Punk, his current run is far and away the most I've ever enjoyed him. I always knew how talented he was but I never got really got into him as one of my "favorites" until he did that shoot promo. I love the "Voice of the Voiceless" character, even if I don't always agree with everything he says, and I'm glad that his WWE career has gotten a real good second life after things had gotten so bad that he wanted out.

As of now it has to be SES Punk but the present character of Punk has the potential to be the character he is remembered by years from now. What is holding back from that taking place is the fact that while he is a rebel, he does not have much of a cause to rebel against. The perfect antagonist to a babyface antihero is a heel authority figure. HHH was a face and Lauranitis isn't all that well established yet. Also he is no Vince McMahon.

But as it stands now his SES character has been my favorite. That character was drawing epic heat in 2009 and anyone who would come out to interrupt him got a great reaction, even face R-Truth, a mediocre performer if there ever was one. Every week he would come out and insult the fans for their usage of drugs and alcoholic substances. For weeks and weeks those would be the best moments on Smackdown. He had singlehandedly made Smackdown a must watch show and that too without really having a feud with anyone in particular on the roster. That, my friend, is the sign of a true performer.

First of all I'm not a "troll" as you computer nerds like to call it but as Punk says I'm the voice of the voiceless I say whats on everyones mind. It's the truth everyone jumped on this CM punk band wagon and now everyone is hailing him as the next stone cold. THen everyone claimed to love CM punk before his "shoot promo". You Punk fans are the definition of "stupid marks' Because you don't even know your marks.

FOR EXAMPLE

You all claim to hate John Cena and his fans because he can't wrestle he's too PG all his fans are kids, when a couple years ago you couldn't go on a wrestling site and now hear how Cena was the best thing in the world THEN ALL THE SUDDEN, it became cool to not like Cena. Now he gets booed out of the area people are throwing his shirts in the ring after he throws them to the fans (which by he way is such a jerk off thing to do). So what to do now he was the face of the WWE and the WWE universe hates him. I know lets get someone who is anti cena someone who likes to break the 4th wall and make it seem like their against the establishment ENTER CM PUNK. He does his promo and now everyone loves him because he is the anti hero that people love so much but wait a minute after he was going to leave go to ROH or just quit all together but luckily they bring him back at the zero hour. Ironically enough once he is back all his merchandise is flying off the shelves and people are dying to see him. All the sudden people are claiming they have been his fans for years like the Bulls and Cowboys in the 90s. Vince played you tools, like xbox 360 he gave you a new guy spend more money. All the CM Punk fans did exactly what Vince wanted you to do.

Sadly this the problem with wrestling fans they need to be told who to like they can't form opinions on their own, so once they didn't want to like Cena anymore Vince game them a new guy to rally behind and fall in love with.

But i digress Cm Punk is just a fad he will fade away into nothingness because at the end of the day he is just a mediocre performer he doesn't really have a great look (Be honest with yourself when he was looking at Kevin nash saying I'm going to kick your ass how could you keep a straight face), his promos are decent but they have started to get stale and this whole i speak my mind I'm against the corporate guys is going to fade quickly as it already has to a degree.

To borrow a phrase from Vinny Mac "I garendamtee you" in a year from now all this so called CM punk fans will be doing the same crap they do with Cena now. Eventually it will be cool to hate CM punk then everyone will be claiming they never liked him.

Well, I can't speak for others, but I HAVE been a fan of Punk before all this Best in the World stuff began, but some might be actual fans becuase he's good in the ring & can talk. Due to his knoweledge of submission and martial arts, if he said he would kick someone's ass, I don't think I'd be laughing. You rip him, yet call yourself the voice of the voiceless? Wow(I quote because you're gonna find I repped you prematurely).

Anyway, for me, it's a toss up between ROH style Punk and present day Punk. ROH because he seemed more natural on the mic, and didn't appear to play a character too much. He was just a regular guy who could talk and wrestle. Present day because he really seems like the voice of the voiceless. He's fed up with the bullshit of pro wrestling and took a stand.
