Isn't that the end result if he gets what he wants? He becomes one of the top guys, gets his friends hired, movies, interviews, face in cups, etc. In a few years will someone give him the same speech be gave Cena?

Punk's Yankees analogy doesn't really work with him. He's never been portrayed as an underdog. Cena's a now 11 time World Champ, but still put over as one.

He's portrayed as not the company guy, the guy not in the forefront. But if all goes to plan that's exactly what he will end up being, right.

Punk is more like the Chicago White Sox. Won a recent World Series, made another playoff run, but largely has been jobbing between pushes.
Would that make Orton the St. Louis Cardinals? Would Big Show be the Atlanta Braves? As in Show has won titles in WCW, WWE, and ECW (much like the Braves did in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta) but largely is seen as an underachiever.
Is Chris Jericho the Oakland A's? A guy who won some titles a long while ago but had a serious dry spell before winning again. Oh, and Jericho is basically like the 21st Century A's against the Yankee likes of Cena and HHH since he always comes up short.
Del Rio might be the Tampa Bay Rays at this point, since he looked to be getting a serious main event push but came up short in his title opportunities and is now drifting down the card.

Punk's Yankees analogy doesn't really work with him. He's never been portrayed as an underdog. Cena's a now 11 time World Champ, but still put over as one. The Yankees aren't the under dogs in the analogy. The Yankees are the dynasty / evil empire of baseball (Depending on who you ask  ). The Boston Red Sox were as up until the early 2004 they couldn't win a world series since 1918... and were the perrenial underdogs because every time they got close they would screw it up somehow. However, since 2004 they have won the world series a second time and have made the playoffs like every year but one. The analogy was that Cena and the Boston Red Sox aren't the underdogs any more but the exactly as much as the Dynasty that they hate. |

Yep. He's getting there.
And thats not a bad thing or a "WWE has ruined Punk" thing, its just inevitable. The guy makes WWE money now, we know that, they know that. So he's going to look good every week, he's going to be high profile every week, and he's now one of the "golden boys".
Which was what he wanted in a way to begin with. I bet he gets a movie soon. He already said he turned one down this summer and kinda regretted it.

He is one of only 3 men to hold the WWE, World and ECW Title (2 if you just count won in WWE) so he's a lot closer than you think.
I still find it amazing Show and Kane are the other 2.

If people want Punk to be the Man, you better hope he become the Yankees.

Punk is the Red Sox, in that he does the same things as the Yankees and then calls them out for being an evil empire.
