4. Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs CM Punk
Now that we've already dealt with one rebel vs rebel bout, in the shape of CM Punk vs Randy Savage, there can be only one other place to go for the Punk. This bout turns up in fan conversations, and indeed all over the net whenever Wrestlemania is about to come around - primarily because of the enduring popularity of both figures, and because of their showmanship (similar to the appeal of the Punk/Savage faceoff.) While Punk/Savage clashes two rebels who worked hard from the brand from very similar stand-points, the appeal of pitting Austin against Punk represents something else entirely. Both might be rebellious figures, with anti-hero pull, but there would be an inherent rivalry to add to the bout's draw in the clash of sensibilities. Punk is the self-confessed "Straight-Edge Superstar" and Austin always positioned himself as the beer-swilling, brawling bad-ass with attitude to match his muscles. You also have the clash of styles - Austin is the archetypal brawler, efficient and devastating, but without so much flair or style, and Punk's style is perfectly honed, built on a strong foundation of technique to match his charisma and his talking skills. That should ensure some in-ring volatility, and an opportunity to settle the question of which style is best.
Who Should Win? Austin Punk might be a flawless performer, and hugely gifted in terms of his technique, but he knows when to lose well, and an Austin victory here would be the smartest answer, even if it opened up questions about the Attitude Era still reigning supreme for fans.
