CM Punk: No credibility before his match with Taker?

[Snowman1]

In kayfabe, he may have lost to John Cena but that match was highly competitive. He took John Cena, the guy who's been overpushed to the point where nobody on the roster could conceivably touch him, to the limit. He proved in that match he was right on Cena's (kayfabe) level, so he's the best this company has to offer.

Also he had the Rock down for an 18 count. The f*cking Rock. And that year and a half title reign.

Booking-wise, he is ready. The only real question is his size, kinda hard to believe this scrawny little dude can pull it off.

Punk is the top heel and remained the champion for more than a year, saying he has no credibility because of three matches is illogical IMO. I wouldn't short sell it so quickly until we actually see some build between the two

Saying he doesn't have credibility anymore doesn't make sense, it's that he jobbed to Santino or something, he lost to 2 of the greatest of all time (although I think it was a mistake for him to job to Rock TWICE), but he is definitely still credible.

Plus, him sharing the same ring with Taker on the grandest stage of them all will help him and give him even more credibility whether he wins or loses.

Nobody is saying punk isn't credible. He is the 2nd most credible full timer. But the question is is he credible enough to make anyone believe he is a threat to taker? The answer is no

In that vein of thinking, no one is. Not even the Rock has had the longevity and WM success Taker has had. If I were in charge, I would use the streak to make the next big star, otherwise leave it as it is.
