10 Best Wrestling Threats Of All Time

10. Punk Punches Up

CM Punk didn't invent the phrase and wasn't even the first wrestler to introduce it into a promo, but "Your arms are too short to box with God" was perhaps the finest ever use of it in an entertainment medium.

The biblical prose had been dropped in to a TNA storyline by Samoa Joe shortly before Punk's 2013 deployment (and years after rapper Nas had lifted the line for 2001's 'You're Da Man') but the fighting words were necessarily exceptional as the 'Voice Of The Voiceless' pitted his verbal dexterity against one of the best to ever hold a microphone.

In The Rock, CM Punk was forced to look up to and stare down a man bigger than him in both size and status, in and out of wrestling. 'The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment' was a Vince McMahon pet project-done-good, but his Hollywood smile rattled the cage of the embittered Champion that still found himself clawing for respect 400 days into a legendary WWE Title reign.

He earned that at least, before he lost his beloved prize. The line was a knockout blow on the night, even if 'The Great One' rebounded when they came to blows proper at the pay-per-view. Few have ever entered Rock's rarified air in a promo battle - Punk punched his way in and fought his way to victory.
