Punk's not doing as well now because he's being booked as the 'underdog champion' at the moment. During the summer of Punk he was booked as a cocky, skilled, showoff and given a chance to drop pipebombs on a regular basis. Now we're lucky if we get a decent insult out of him. It's all "You're gonna go there? Well I'm gonna kick your ass!". He's almost getting a hybrid of Mysterio's underdog and Cena's superman gimmicks.

Punk also doesn't have that shock factor he had initially during the early stage of the Summer of Punk when he was questioning everything but that's due to him turning into a face wrestler.

These two posts combine basically explain it for me.

1. He's not the focus
2. He's not in control of the feud

Thinking about how The Rock and Austin used to come off in their feuds, they pretty much owned their opponents even if they lost the big match (rare). When they were face nobody ever seemed to get under their skin...or at least that's how I remember it.

The Rock lost quite a few big matches.

I think this highlights part of the reason the Rock is actually great and Punk is not.

The Rock and Austin also didn't really need to be forced as the focus; it came naturally.

Actually, we could probably come up with a top ten list of major ways Punk isn't even remotely close to the Rock and Austin.
