I think he made it as far as anyone had done in over a decade, and that is quite the accomplishment.

When he first started out, we was indeed nothing special... it was just like "Oh, so this is the guy the internet goes crazy about?".

When he won his first world title, it was like "really? This guy?".

When he won his second world title and turned heel and started developing an actual character.... he began to win me over both in the ring and outside the ring.

Then, of course, he really took off with the Summer of Punk thing. Sure, the start and the finish were a bit bumpy.... but on the whole, it established CM Punk as "on another level".

Even after he lost the title, CM Punk still felt "special". Indeed, they made sure that they always had a "plan"/"story" for CM Punk to be involved in.... and it always felt like a main attraction because CM Punk was there.

I still feel like CM Punk's exit has left a void that has yet to be filled. There is no one currently around who they present as special as they did CM Punk.
