CM Punk has revealed his top five wrestlers of all time.
While appearing on ESPN’s First Take on Tuesday, Punk gave his picks for his “top five wrestlers of all time.” He said,
“You’re putting me on the spot, so this is my top five, okay? It’s not cultural significance, it’s not impact. But a lot of that is honestly factored in because I think — Harley Race, Terry Funk. I think Steve Austin’s the biggest superstar that this industry has ever seen. I would say Eddie Guerrero… Ricky Steamboat.”
When asked about not having people like The Rock on his list, he stated, “Again, I’m a kid of the ’80s… Oh, Jesus. Let’s scratch off Steamboat. Sorry Steamer, I love you. Roddy Piper… Why I got into wrestling, is Roddy Piper. I saw Piper, I saw him as this undersized guy that was surrounded by all these these hulks. And he just talked trash, and I was like, ‘I would like to do that, that looks like something I can do.’”
