Wrestler Evaluation: CM Punk - Week 1
 

With the death of RTTT, I think something new should be born. I was on another site and they had a similar thing, instead of Rating a wrestler, lets take it deeper.

*Rules*

Every week I will have us evaluate a wrestler or tag team whether it be an ECW extreamist, a WWE superstar, a TNA wrestler, or great from the past ranging from his in-ring ability, to their mic-skill, all the way up to how their career and future is been doing/is looking, as well how they clash with the feel of the rest of the brand or the time frame.
---

*Scoring*

Rate each category using the following:

[1] - [2] - [3] - [4] - [5]

1 = Horrible
2 = Poor
3 = Mediocre
4 = Good
5 = Awesome

You may use halves (decimals) as well for each number.

There are 3 sections to the evaluation (In the Ring, On the Mic, and Outside the Ropes) each having 4 questions making your total possible score:

60 out of 60

Once you get a score for every question, add them all up; that is your final score.

After that I will add all the scores together to get an average score.

Ready?

• Punk lost the ROH World Heavyweight Championship to James Gibson in a four corner elimination match consisting of himself, Gibson, Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels.

• His final match in Ring of Honor took place against his good friend and Second City Saints stablemate Colt Cabana in a two-out-of-three falls match. While making his entrance Punk was noticibly crying on the way to the ring. The match ended with Cabana defeating Punk after Punk won the first fall and Cabana won the second and third.

• Punk was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling, a WWE developmental territory. In his OVW television debut, Punk suffered a ruptured eardrum and broken nose at the hands of Danny Inferno, after he was hit by an overly stiff right hand. Despite the injury, Punk finished the match and quickly recovered.

The finals were Brent Albright vs CM Punk with Albright defeating Punk to become the new champion. Punk and Albright continued their feud with Albright becoming more and more unstable and paranoid about maintaining his championship after several close call matches against Punk, resulting in acts such as threatening Maria. On May 3, 2006, Punk finally defeated Brent Albright in a strap match to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship. As champion, Punk retained the title in matches against opponents such as Shad Gaspard, Ken Kennedy, Johnny Jeter, and The Miz.

• Punk and Seth Skyfire defeated Shad Gaspard and the Neighborhoodie to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship. With the victory Punk became the second OVW wrestler to have held each of the promotion's three championships, following Brent Albright, and along with Skyfire the first to hold two championships simultaneously.

• They would lose the Tag Team Championship to Deuce Shade and "Domino" Cliff Compton after an injured Skyfire tagged in an already injured Punk.

• This lead to a feud between Punk and Skyfire after a rematch for the Tag Team Championship on in which a healthy Punk purposefully tagged in an injured Skyfire to be beaten by Shade and Compton.

• A match was scheduled to take place between Punk and Skyfire for the OVW Heavyweight Championship however prior to the match Skyfire was attacked by Charles "The Hammer" Evans, who Skyfire had also been feuding with, and was replaced in the match by Chet the Jet who pinned Punk to win the OVW Heavyweight Championship.

• On June 24, 2006 Punk made his ECW debut during a house show at the former ECW Arena, defeating Stevie Richards.

• Punk made his ECW TV debut during a house show at the former ECW Arena, defeating Stevie Richards. He made his TV debut on the July 4th episode of ECW on Sci Fi, cutting a brief pre-taped face promo about his straight edge lifestyle emphasizing the disciplinary aspects of being drug and alcohol free.

• ECW continued to air similar promos each week, with the July 25 vignette having Punk stating that he would debut in ECW the following week.

• Punk made his TV wrestling debut as a face on August 1, 2006 at the Hammerstein Ballroom, defeating Justin Credible.

BTW, Nice idea Destor. I didn't know this was here.

And, my awesome professional opinion, is that while he's a really good worker from what I've seen, and has all of this charisma and ability, I can't really get behind him much yet. Hopefully, his straight edge gimmick will be a good heel gimmick, because as a face it's rather bland. He might as well be teaming with Cena at this point.

Too much work as I am lazy.

54 btw Jaton :o

No real work. Copy paste. Cut out the number you don't want. IF YOU ARE REALLY LAZY I WILL TALLY THE NUMBERS MYSELF

-Punks breakout fued In IWA was chris Hero. They've had several classic matches including their 93 minute 2/3 falls match.

That's pretty impressive.

I've followed a little (emphasis on little) of IWA work, but thats a lot more title reigns then I was aware of.

Since I've only seen 1 match by him. I can't make a fair evaluation.

I like what I've seen so far tho.
