CM Punk
CM Punk is one of the most loved wrestlers in the history of WWE

CM Punk left WWE over three and a half years ago now. Despite that length of time passing there is still a very large chunk of the WWE Universe who clamour for him to return. There is a very good reason for that, aside from Punk being a great wrestler of course.

What Punk did better than any WWE Superstar in the modern era was play on the real. The reason his segments were popular each and every week was because you never knew what was going to happen and that he would speak from the heart. One thing you knew you were always going to get from Punk was the truth.

He's straight edge and he speaks his mind. These were two real aspects of his life that came across in the ring. The famous pipebomb promo wasn't scripted or planned, it was merely Punk being himself and telling the fans at home exactly what the real him thought of the company and the people he worked for.
