Punk's mainstream career is reminding me of Warrior.

Starts off with a lengthy run under Vince where he gradually reaches a title reign of respectable length, but is constantly in the shadow of the company's golden boy. Then he has a blow-up with Vince and vanishes after a major PPV.

He starts returning again and again with shorter and shorter tenures. His third run is especially self-indulgent, but nobody seems to care as much anymore, and he's gone in a couple months. He jumps to the other company to huge hype, immediately cuts a promo that has people scratching their heads, then vanishes after a PPV match due to injury.

I can't wait for the comic book where Punk rapes Santa.

As someone who has experienced both I think the high from Punk is higher because you know he's stone cold sober everytime he makes a decision that explodes his life

agreed but also because conor and bones are way sadder as they're usually injuring old men at a bar or a pregnant women in her car so it's more sad than just funny

Who's the Renegade in this scenario?

Also, what's the closest equivalent here to the Warrior comics?

Edit: Dammit, Endless Mike beat me to the comics one.

That was my first thought (he was certainly being molded that way when he was actually in-ring), but nah. Corey found his niche in wrestling and is actually really good on commentary.

Bullshit! People say that but every WWE clip I've heard he's loving terrible. I guess he's better than Matt Striker and Kevin Kelly but that's not a huge hurdle to clear.

There's a reason most companies and execs read canned statements in situations like this and it's amazing Paul didn't do this or thought he'd just get puff questions cause it was such a bad answer

To each their own, I guess. I really don't have any complaints about him as a color guy unless there's a guest commentator, who he always insists on starting poo poo with whenever they say stuff at the same time, but I chalk that up to three-man booths just being unwieldy. I think he's neat. He's at least been successful.

Whereas the Renegade...uh...

He was too focused on where to deploy that Forbidden Door crack when someone finally asked about bringing in the TNA Knockouts champ for a one off again.
