Not saying that's what I want to see, but that's what I see WWE doing.Quote:

What makes the top guys is the complete opposite of what you are saying, they aren't one of the generic people who make up the roster (largely due to the gimmicks they are given, not their own faults).
They are different, and that's what gives them the potential to be the top guys.
So I don't think he is like John Cena at all really.
I was also thinking the royal rumble
That title of the blog is Isn't CM Punk like John Cena?Quote:

So what is left for Punk to accomplish? Having the feud that will forever be remembered, ie HBK vs HHH, Cena vs Edge, HBK vs Hart, Austin vs Rock. There is alot he has left to accomplish
Regarding the bolded, I agree.Quote:

I think they're very similar. They're both dominant to the point of frustration. They both have set moves they rely on each and every match - their finishers even both begin with their opponents on their shoulders. They both are great on the mic. They both get huge reactions when their entrance music hits. They are probably on an equal par as the top guys in the company. Both men are at the extreme of their respective spectrum of appeal. Both men resonate hugely with fans - not the same fans mind you, but still. Both men have short haircuts. ;)
But in saying that, I'm sure I could find ways to compare myself to Arnold Schwarzenegger, if I really tried. :rolleyes:
Winning so many titles is more about how quickly they change hands anymore, cheapening the accomplishment of winning a belt and the championship it represents. Half the guys above midcard have held major belts--I mean look at Jack Swagger, former world champ who can't get a win over anyone this year--so it's not like the past when being a belt-holder meant so much.
Most sensible wrestlers are in the profession to make as much money as possible. That's what they're REALLY hoping to achieve--victories and fame, a distant second.
John Cena is the biggest star in wrestling, cm punk is not.
True story.
That's funny because other people understood it, they don't agree but they understand it. Hmmm.....Quote:
