1. CM Punk Was Maybe The Best All-Around Performer Of His Generation
CM Punk never met a microphone or wrestling ring he didn't like. He had a crippling infection in his lower back and still did his job. He likely should've ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak and defeated The Rock in a four-month span. These are facts that we can sit and argue until we're blue in the face (and we will), but there's really great arguments as to why they're based in truth. By comparison, there's a large segment of the WWE Universe that would've been completely okay with Seth Rollins losing to either Sheamus or Sting a month ago. Insofar as Rollins possibly eclipsing Punk's legacy, facts never lie.
