^^^ Let's see if this inspires some interesting debate.
Punk is mostly the hype the internet spreads around him mixed with a "different feel" when compared to others on the current roster. Punk in works for the now but would be lost in the shuffle in another era.
You touched on this in your blog but I think it's worth saying. John Cena walks out of an arena not happy and passes fans and doesn't say anything to them and they are still making threads about how much of a jerk Cena is three years later. CM Punk tells a fan to drink bleach, and vince is a jerk for ending his over 400 day reign to a part time wrestler. I'm not a Cena mark, in fact if I were to make a top five favorite wrestlers in the wwe list, punk would make it and cena wouldn't... But I don't understand this feeling that Punk is above acting decent. As if he were truly a higher power, and didn't have to follow traditional social protocol. I mean, he told the fan to drink bleach because the fan was against gay marriage... but there are videos all over the internet of punk calling a fan a derogatory name for homosexuals. Punk shouldn't end the streak because in my mind, he isn't owed anything as others have suggested before on this site. WWE has pushed him even though he has given WWE plenty of bad press. Why end the streak that so many great legends couldn't end, by letting someone who is already pushed beat the deadman.
