He was great in the wrestling world, but he is by no means a superstar, even in this decade when they are starved for them. His only cross over appeal is in the controversy that is presently being handled by lawyers, and his upcoming mauling in UFC. He was fine from 2009-2013, but nothing earth shattering.
I was entertained by him for awhile, but a character like his, based in anger and dissatisfaction, can only last so long before becoming stale, as I felt he did after the Brock Summerslam match.
He is a great wrestler, a good talker, but there are a bunch of guys I would put ahead of Punk. I suppose, in closing, he stood out in the WWE at a point in time when the roster was such shit that he was destined to stand out.
