WWE needs to do Punk/Rock at SummerSlam and Austin/Punk at WrestleMania. CM Punk has everything going that way. He really feels like Austin in 96/97 where he just needs that extra spark to light Jim Ross's proverbial and literal "powder keg". The "shoot" was his "Austin 3:16" promo and the matches with Cena and Jericho accomplished what Austin's matches with Bret Hart did. CM Punk has already captured a "lost" segment of the audience in the older male demographic and he can bring even more of them "back" or bring in new ones. All he needs is that one amazing heel who somehow relates to that 1 person everybody knows and hates. I think a Cody Rhodes or Dolph Ziggler could easily be that guy.
