1. Hes Undoubtedly The Most Organically Charismatic Star That WWE Has Had Since The Rock And Steve Austin
Can we all agree and now universally laugh at that one time that WWE attempted to make Daniel Bryan into Stone Cold Steve Austin by having him use a pallet and forklift to defeat Kane? Or, let's all laugh at The Miz's faux "Holly wood Rock"-style entrance. When WWE attempts to inject the wrestlers they wish to project as top talents with "charisma," it's usually in the form of copying some aspect of the characters of their two biggest "Attitude Era" stars. Did CM Punk ever spray down a WWE ring with a truckload of water or wear $5000 shirts? No. He was his own man, and one of the few WWE talents allowed to be their own man in recent memory. A testament to his hard work, unique persona and charismatic presentation, CM Punk's organically engaging style is so missed that it certainly deserves the chants of the WWE Universe.
