He is the last of the greatest generation, the last one still keeping the lights on, the last wrestler to become relevant. He is the wrestler who is a wrestler, the guy who couldn't do anything else to save his life, gifted with the perfect skillset that makes a wrestler good at it. He can work anyone into a 4,5 stars match, and is possibly the last person who knows how to tell a story in a fight. That is actually necessary, since WWE is so terrible at writing these days, they should just skip promos and get straight to the PPVs.They just don't make them like they used to. People like Punk, AJ Styles, they are the last breath of when wrestling was about unknown people with ambition. The Ring of Honor type of guy just can't make it anymore, it is all nepo babies, people who fucked their way to the top, or who impressed HHH with youtube view count.The algorithmn controls wrestling now. When Punk leaves, there will be no reason to watch anymore. You can only have so much of coconut community theater, aura farming, and celebrities nobody knows.Wrestling will continue, but the 'wrestler' is dying.
>>20499196He was never good. It's already over. It's been over.
>>20499196Correct. All the lies and exploitation of women he breeds will be gone.
>>20499196>He is the last of the greatest generationKek what? guys from the AE are the greatest generation
>>20499210>breedsBreeding implies he could get a bitch pregnant.
>>20499196Punk has always been an overrated self-important shitter.
I honestly only think he initially got over because he was the best free agent available at the beginning of the game when you'd play the original EWR years ago and that made the smarks fall in love with him.
>>20499196nah, not if guys like jericho, rey and edge are still around.actually punks part of the pussy generation with guys like daniel bryan. Can't draw, dont look the part, but they convinced marks that their ""workrate"" makes up for it
>>20499196He came in at the end of the ruthless aggression era.He was a sign of a dimeless future.
>>20499196He was never good.
>>20499199tsmt. it was over as soon as Phil got into the WWE
>>20499196Who the fuck can even reach this level today? There has to be someone to replace him. The only candidates I see are Trick, MJF and Fletcher. But the three of them have flaws and are in enviroments that stop them from improving by training and that likely will impede them of reaching Punk status.Is wrestling doomed?
>>20501854>TrickHas potential as long as a certain big nosed booker doesn't fuck up his booking (he will)>MJFHad potential once but now it seems his ceiling really is as a temu Miz like the memes, also pathetically shills for AEW 24/7 on twitter>FletcherMany people here disagree but I shoot think he has potential, he just needs to be steered into the right path instead of whatever the fuck he's doing now looking like some bald drag queen story hour mfer
>>20501865Thats what I exactly meant anon. No one can reach a true main eventer status because the enviroments are rotten.
