I think Punk's WWE career surpassed all MY expectations at least. If you're judging on a stereotypical IWC fan's expectations, no one is ever gonna really reach it. When Punk came in, I was in the Lock Jaw camp. He seemed like an entertaining enough guy who the internet had "World champion/WrestleMania headliner" aspirations for. I thought if everything went right, he could be an amazing addition to the upper-midcard for a long time.
Not only did he end up being a legit world champion for over a year, it didn't seem like he was in over his head. It worked. Which was definitely not something I could envision when he started out. So yes, he definitely lived up to his potential but once he got there, I do feel like he could have been even more.
