CM Punk's candor, both in the ring and in his documentary, made me a huge fan and kept me watching WWE long after the company lost its mojo. Photo from DailyWrestlingNews.com: http://dailywrestlingnews.com/tna-star-invites-cm-punk-company/
I basically stopped watching WWE after Batista got buried and left the company, the Nexus angle ran its course, and the company's attempt to put Cena over at Wrestlemania 29 failed because it was the FOURTH time that The Rock dropped the belt (now known as the WWE World Heavyweight title) at that event. Nonetheless, after CM Punk's infamous pipe bomb speech on 6/27/2011 (in particular the part where he had the balls to openly criticize Stephanie McMahon and her husband Triple H), I became glued to the screen every time he showed up to give us a break from the "Cena Gone Wild" show. In addition to CM Punk's candor, I loved how he incorporated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves into his matches, as well as his references to Marvel superheroes by shouting "It's Clobbering Time!" before matches and his Wolverine-esque sideburns. His documentary, "CM Punk - Best In The World" is one of my favorites. I was able to relate to him not fitting in with his peers at school and his resentment over the overt favoritism his family showed his brother, and admired him for having the courage to reject addictive substances because of his alcoholic father. For that reason, I will pray for 15 minutes every day that CM Punk puts his faith the man who is truly the Best In The World: God incarnate, Jesus Christ Himself.
