8 Reasons CM Punk Maintains Such Fanatical Support

7. He Had Incredible Charisma

This aspect of Punk's absence is felt a lot more keenly than his top-notch wrestling skills. Few of the company's top superstars are regarded as truly charismatic, either splitting opinion due to their personal style (John Cena) or universally regarded as boring on the mic (Brock Lesnar). Punk shone incredibly brightly in this regard, both with his infamous "pipebomb" promos and during his sporadic guest appearances on commentary. Blessed with a natural wit and cutting sarcasm, he was equally adaptable to roles in both a heel and face capacity (as long as he wasn't cast as a smiling do-gooder - he probably wouldn't manage that). Punk's promos, so often a highlight of Raw, are definitely a sorely-missed feature, and a big reason for the seemingly never-ending support he receives.
