Not everyone has to have Punk in their top 5 or 10. I mean while he is in mine I could see why he wouldn't be in others. Just all down to preference.

I'm just quite suprised, I mean the guy has great matches, has great promos and while he's in a feud, he usually looks like the one that will dominate.

Well this is top 5 in ring wrestlers so the promo aspect doesn't count here.

I feel he is as well as he is in my top 5 just saying it don't surprise me that people wouldn't put him in there considering other options.

Fair enough, but I don't know how anybody could POSSIBLY come up with a statement like that. His execution is sloppy, he has very little chemistry with most of his opponents, only the best ones can drag him to something watchable. I guess he's the best if you're a MOVEZ!!!!! guy since he has the best moveset in the company, but there's a little bit more to it than that. I didn't watch him in ROH, maybe he was "incredible" there, but he damn sure isn't in WWE, and when I see how well Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio have adjusted from different styles to the WWE and how much Punk struggles conversely, I'm not that inclined to believe he was much better.

Shockingly enough, I agree with this for the most part. I've never seen him in ROH so i'm purely judging him on what i've seen of him in the WWE. He's not a bad wrestler by any stretch of the matter, but I also wouldn't put him on the pedestal everyone else seems to do. I'm not gonna deny he has good matches, but I rarely find that he has what I consider great matches (bare in mind I don't do do the star rating system) and even his MITB match wasn't great, but because of the storyline leading into it and the whole atmosphere it ended up bumping the actual rating for it.

And to Deuce, what makes him so "incredible" in the ring that he's better than everyone else? What matches of his do you consider some of the best?
