Is CM Punk a copycat?

[AWrestlingGod]

I will give you the Canadian Destroyer, but for the rest, watch some more Lucha stuff

Haha I watch more Puroresu wrestling and American wrestling than anything so your probably right. Though I am fond of some lucha stars most notably Aerostar)

well, there is that too :P

He copied an entire moveset not just the finisher.

It would be like a wrestlers doiing ric flair chops and a figure four and going to the top rope only to get thrown off, and doing the eye poke etc.

It's like comparing using quotes in an essay to copy and pasting an essay.

And while we are talking about unoriginality the cult leader brain washing heel crap from punk seems very much like Raven.

Yeah, I've read that before.

I've read that, but never seen anything that substantiates it

Eventually there are going to be similarities in characters. Look at Hogan and Billy Graham. This would mean Cena is somewhat of a copycat; He's a pro-america, superman, limited moveset, big man character aimed at children (like Hogan).
CM Punks character is essentially the anti-norm; He doesn't drink, smoke or take drugs, he's self-righteous, his beliefs are more important than yours, he's better than you as person because of his beliefs and has no weaknesses (both in the ring and outside in his personal life because he has no vice) etc
Before that he was the guy who took a stand against Vince and wanted to "give the fans a voice" and initiate change.
Bryan was just the "best wrestler alive".

I would say no; there's more to his character than just being "the best in the world" and people overlook things like that. Every character has similarities, but it's subtle differences that makes them unique. Just like every human being is influenced by something else and live their life by morals that have influenced them.

Just read the raven thing; i'd say he was more Charlie Manson than Raven. Down to the head shaving and his beard, it was eeriely similar (that's if you know anything about manson)
