Who's the bigger star?

Of the former RoH World Heavyweight Champions, Samoa Joe and CM Punk, who do you think is the bigger star? Arguements to be had on both ends, lets go to the tale of the tape...

Samoa Joe


Accomplishments under TNA contract
*Current a main eventer of TNA
*Recently made Kurt Angle tap out on PPV
*Year and a half unpinned and never tapped
*2-time X-Division Champion

CM Punk


Accomplishments under WWE contract
*Arguably WWE's ECW Brand's most over star
*Made his WWE PPV debut teaming with Hardyz & DX and was in the Main Event at D2D
*Had a several month undefeated streak
*OVW's World, Tag, and TV Champion

Both of them are former RoH World Heavyweight Champs, but they went different directions. The question I pose is who is the bigger star. I think clearly Samoa Joe has enjoyed more victories and higher honors, but they were for a promotion that pulls in .8 to 1.2 ratings. While CM Punk's accomplishments may not be as note worthy, they were for a WWE Brand of Television, that despite being the obvious C-Show of the WWE umbrella, it still pulls in 2 to 3 times the amount of viewers that TNA does. So who do you think is the bigger star? Again, this isn't who you like more (though that would be interesting to know as well) this is who is the bigger name.

With that said though, there is no belt in the industry that HBK could win that would add to his career. HBK's career is built around him being HBK, not winning a bunch of titles.
