Favorite Wrestlers Part 1: Chicago Made.

CM Punk.

I figured out, that I couldn't do a top 5 for wrestling, it had to be a larger string of posts, that doesn't have a set number, as things change. Thus, these strings of posts will have several wrestlers on it who are retired, or sadly died.

CM Punk currently works on the RAW brand for World Wrestling Entertainment. Sadly he suffered a hip injury and isn't an active wrestler, but realizing the talent the WWE Creative team put him on as a secondary color commentator. Former tag team champion, intercontinental champion and 3 time world heavyweight champion thus becoming the 19th triple crown champion (meaning he won a tag, a middle and a world championship).

CM Punk had a huge cult following in the US Indies before making it big with WWE. I didn't get into independent promotions till two years ago, so when he made his debut, I was less than entertained. He had no character, sure he could wrestle one hell of a match and had an awesome finishing maneuver. Which is called the Go to Sleep, where he picks a guy up on his shoulders and drops the guy's head right onto a knee kick. Watch the video it's on there somewhere.

He still didn't have a good gimmick and the only thing that his gimmick really was, was he lived a straight edge life, meaning no drugs, alcohol or smoking. Then something marvelous happened in 2009. WWE creative, decided to turn him heel (bad guy) and thus CM Punk became the leader of a pseudo cult, the straight edge society and proceeded to consider everyone else below him.

During this time he had some very memorable feuds and cut some of the best promos in wrestling. The man is a freaking genius at promos and thus he made the list.
