Best and worst of WWE over the past decade - Fans reject Vince McMahon's favorite, Triple H shines

#4 Best/Worst: CM Punk's pipe bomb and his departure

I don't think it will come as a surprise to anyone if I describe CM Punk's pipe bomb as one of the greatest promos of this decade, if not in WWE history. Punk became the voice of the people, speaking for them and complaining about a fanbase that was quickly becoming jaded with WWE programming.

But then followed the ugly mess that involved CM Punk's departure from the company which I won't get into, but that was certainly one of the biggest 'worsts' of the entire decade. Punk would go on to have a very short-lived career in the UFC and let's just say that he did not fare nearly as well in the octagon as he did in a wrestling ring.

CM Punk is back in WWE again (in a sense), although he is an analyst for FOX and not an active competitor and so far, everything points to him being confined merely to that role for now. But then, stranger things have happened in WWE and people who've vowed never to step foot in the company have come back for another run, several times.

Who knows what the next decade holds for a certain CM Punk? Maybe The Goddess knows the answer to the question.
