9. CM Punk
In the modern day era of professional wrestling CM Punk is the man when it comes to speaking ability. Nobody holds an audiences attention quite like the controversial WWE Champion, who has made relevant the term "pipe bomb" which apparently when you boil down to its essence, is the truth. Ever since taking a seat atop the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada two years ago Punk's star has continually rose and his WWE career has been patched with some fantastic microphone work. Whether it be in the early days of ECW, "the only addiction I have is wrestling," the Straight Edged Savior, "this is real, this is true, this is straight edge," the voice of the voiceless, "I hate this image that you're the best, cause you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best in the world," or in his current form, still brewing up a storm with a line such as, "understand when you step into the ring with me, you are boxing with God!" Whereas Savage depended on his colorful persona, Punk derives this ability from his opinionated attitude. Whether the viewers agree with his words or not is subjective, but one thing is for sure, this guy can talk with the best of them, case in point his recent promo with The Rock.
