CM Punk
Trending
To be fair, I think we can all find something to hate about Chicago’s Finest, be it something about his gimmick or even the dude himself. He’s cocky, self-centered, smug, possibly sociopathic...all the good stuff.
Vince usually likes those things and IS those things but Punk made his name on the indy promotions. And Vince hates that!
But there was CM, collecting belts all over the country. Building his reputation and biding his time to erupt onto the ‘big leagues.’ He was the biggest thing in wrestling outside of the WWE. Now he’s one of the biggest to just up and leave the WWE.
So, Vinnie Mac begrudgingly gave him a shot and every time he started to get any momentum, the creative team just pushed him aside.
Stalling him out in the eyes of fans, confusing casuals and infuriating nerds. It wasn’t until Punk got so fed up that he may have implied he wished for the death of his boss on live TV. But we all know how that turned out.
