3. CM Punk vs Raven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNjyl8fSA4s I have talked before about how my following of pro wrestling has waxed and waned over the years, even though my love for the sport has never left. This feud was largely responsible for my interest returning in the mid 2000's. Raven is one of the greatest minds in pro wrestling, and I think anyone who has read my previous Whatculture articles knows of my love for CM Punk. These two put on a masterclass in carrying out a feud. One of the things that lets you know how great this feud was is when you examine the win-loss record of the feud. Despite going like 2-7 in the feud, Raven came out more over than he started, just as CM Punk did. This feud was a masterpiece in wrestling, as both characters back stories play off each other perfectly. If you have never seen any of this feud, I suggest you check out ROH's Death Before Dishonor to see the fantastic dog collar match between the two, or just pick up both the first 2 Best of Punk ROH dvds so that you get the majority of the feud and some of the great promos Punk cut against Raven. Or just watch this promo and you will see not only why Punk was so highly regarded on the indy scene, but why you should be tracking down all of this feud asap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oDeBAG-OQNo
