From the outright loud to the outspoken, CM Punk was one performer who had a chip on his shoulder from the very beginning. When learning from Paul Heyman in his quite brilliant WWE-produced DVD that management wanted Punk gone from OVW years before he made the main roster, perhaps that's understandable.

Punk was the kind of star WWE just couldn't keep down - the guy's talent and natural connection to the fans was just too great. In June 2011, Punk was portrayed as a heel who planned to beat John Cena for the WWE Title at July's Money In The Bank pay-per-view and then leave with the belt once his contract expired.

Instead of hating the star, people embraced Punk. This kicked off an era in the man's career that is wholly memorable. Suddenly, CM Punk morphed into a character unafraid to rock the boat and question company management.

Calling out everyone from Triple H to Vince McMahon, Punk's words came across as genuine even when working within the limitations of WWE's scripting. Although tough to do, CM Punk did it brilliantly.
