Punk seems more well-rounded on paper. But it’s the intangibles that split them up. Punk has this ceiling on him. It’s like he’s all talk. UFC shit aside, it’s like you don’t really miss him when he’s gone. Danielson has this glue to him. He’s way more magnetic to me. When he doesn’t do something, I miss it.
It’s why I “controversially” said I buy Bryan as a better promo than Miz. I BELIEVE Bryan. I believe in him. Punk is cool when he’s there, but then you realize he doesn’t really make a big difference.
Both great talents. They don’t need to be weighed against each other. Both no-brainer signings. But Danielson is WAY more likely to get me to pay to see what he will actually do versus Punk, who strings a good story.
