#1 CM Punk (pipebomb)
Trending
Often, a person is measured by what he does and not what he says. But in the case of CM Punk, he was measured by what he said. Punk was known as the man that proved himself to be every bit as good as he said he was, by going into the ring and backing it up time and time again.
On one particular Monday Night Raw, Punk was given a microphone. It was that night that the infamous 'pipebomb' went off. Some may dispute his actual status at the time, but leading up to that historic promo, he had been a heel.
Fans loved the fact that Punk wasn't simply opening up what people on social media were already saying, but was doing so in a way that was cutting-edge and fun. It peeled back the veil that wrestling puts in front of fans, behind which secrets are kept that aren't supposed to be talked about.
What followed was the summer of Punk, where he went from being a top heel to a top face quickly. Regardless of how he was being booked on-screen, his honesty and open nature had been what fans loved about him. Punk's pipebomb turned him face in a manner that fans couldn't have seen coming.
