5 Wrestlers with cult followings

#4 CM Punk

<p>

It almost seems unfair to include Punk on this list because of his massive mainstream success, but that success was built upon his dedicated fan base.

CM Punk draws attention everywhere he goes, from the UFC to those speculating he could show up for All In.

Why he has a cult following: CM Punk has a lot going for him in this regard. One, he worked his way up to the big leagues through the indies, busting his behind night after night for little money until he hit the big leagues. Two, he's highly talented in the ring. Three, he has a devil-may-care attitude and boundless confidence that make him attractive.

Finally, he walked away from WWE on principle, literally passing up millions of dollars because his heart wasn't in the product. A man of conviction enjoys a certain degree of respect. But most of all, much like the others on this list, he seems like a man you could sit down and have a beer with--or maybe a Pepsi.
