I'm going to repeat what others have said, but pass it off as my own unique opinion.
Firstly, had CM Punk been around when Bret Hart, HBK, or even when The Rock and SCSA were THE guys, there's no way he'd have held the belt as long as he did; there was no other alternative really. Secondly, his reward for dropping the belt to The Rock is the biggest match at Wrestlemania, I mean, make no mistake, that's the main event, EVERY year. He might not win (I hope he doesn't), but he gets to main event with the Deadman, at Wrestlemania. It'll be a good match, probably be the best on the night, but he doesn't need to win, he just needs to have a great match. Do people think less of HBKs career because he did what's best for business and lost twice? Not in the slightest, in fact, those matches are regularly cited as being two of the best WM matches of all time. Do people think less of Trips? No. Why? Because they stole the show. VKM would never let the streak end, because it doesn't make sense from a business point of view. Stars can be made over the course of a year, or 6 months, whatever, but the streak? That's TWENTY years in the making. No way is it going to end. (This is all opinion, and I could, of course, be wrong
)
