Week-in and week-out, ever since he turned heel on Smackdown in 2009 everything he did was pure gold.

I remember when he debuted in ECW back in 2006 and had that IWC "future of the company" stigma about him. He has all the tools, and the audience were constantly into him, be it as a face or heel, but I feel he never managed to shake that stigma. Even when he was WWE champion for a year or when he beat Cena, he was always second fiddle to guys like Cena, Lesnar and The Rock.

He had an amazing run though. Definitely Hall of Fame-worthy if it ever comes to that.

Random nugget: I wrestled on a show with CM Punk back in 2004 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire (UK). Trowbridge is a shitty, run-down town of about 20,000 people. About 100 people turned up to the show. Not only is it a cool thing for me to brag about, but it also demonstrates how everyone has to start at the bottom and work their way to the top.
