Well, I don't have Punk in the top 10 in the world, right now or any time since his debut, but I put Savage in the top 10 of all time.

He is an excellent worker, but his matches in ROH vs his matches in the E? not even comparible. Obviously he is restricted by TV time, card positioning and all of that, but how can he go from the work he did with Joe and Colt cobana, then go to OVW, and then get even more training from the Brits, whilst on the road, and somehow wind up with a moveset that makes him look very average? In-ring is the only place he has any chance of beating Savage, because Look, Charisma, Stickwork, over with the crowd, infamous matches and fueds all go to the Macho Man.

And in fact, fuck TV time limits as an excuse. RVD used to come out and light up the ring for 5 minutes at a time on WWE TV every week.

I wouldn't put this much into talking about why Mark Henry shouldn't win, because the skills and potential aren't there to make it an interesting match up, but Punk can and should be showing better quality accross the board now he has finally made it.
