You know all things aside CM Punk is still quite a good wrestler

I do not know if I can imagine him carrying Tyrus to a good match though.

EDIT: Dammit now I want to see him try. Go NWA, Punk! I'm sure Billy Corgan can offer you a very generous four figure deal!

Have you watched cm punk wrestle recently. He can't do his own moves anymore, he breaks bones trying anything new and he does Shawn on pills selling.

Like there was an extent to which he was always a little sloppy technically, but made up for it by just a good grasp of ring psychology and storytelling. The guy can generally put together a match (though in his brief AEW run he mostly fought people who also had some grasp of this).

His promos are so loving mid and if you didn't already love him from his work elsewhere (I had never seem him before aew), I have no idea how you're supposed to care about his "aww shucks, you really do love me here in *long pause* [CITY NAME]." routine that he only diverted from one time to name drop David Zaslav of all people.

The Samoa Joe match and the FD match where he was working heel were pretty good though ngl

This is legit.

My wife was aware of the Punk hype for promos/character work when he showed up, and then all she got was returning legend Punk that ultimately transitioned into backstage drama Punk. Needless to say, she was never won over to how special he could be before things went to poo poo.

Other than witnessing how much the fans cared second hand, it was not a good way to understand why he was such a big deal, and The Pipebomb promo/Money in the Bank '11 magic isn't quite the same if you weren't there for it in the moment.

It was ironic and funny for him to ultimately land on a bizarro-Cena character having a love-hate relationship with the fans, but much like that entire Cena era, it just made me feel like both the character and wrestler was being held back by such a compromised role.

As somebody who fell out of pro wrestling in the early 00s and came back in because of Kenny Omega, this is pretty much my reaction to CM Punk. I understand that he was a very important person for a lot of fans in a specific time period, but I missed it and so all that goodwill is lost on me.
