6 WWE Superstars you didn't know CM Punk wrestled  

#2 Samoa Joe

True dream match

Before TNA/Impact Wrestling, Samoa Joe was one of the mainstays of Ring of Honor. He was the Samoan Bulldozer for a reason and his matches were excellent. They had a trilogy of matches which is considered as one of the best in the company's history. The first two matches were both 60 minute matches and were fought to a draw.

Though Samoa Joe defeated CM Punk in the last match, the second match was considered the best of the three. But in essence, what was the point of the story between the two? They had respect for each other's abilities, but wanted to beat the other and prove who was the best of the best. It was as simple as that.

There was no theatrics, but just two men utilizing various facets of wrestling from power moves, high flying spots and submissions. Both men just didn't want to lose to the other and it is what the audience loved.

Would these matches have worked in WWE? It's quite possible it could have worked well. These men were still young in ROH and as experienced veterans, they could have brought something very different to the WWE Universe.
