Great pic. Anyways, I couldn't believe it when he mentioned The Rock not being a good wrestler. If that is the case, then what is the definition of a good wrestler in his opinion? The Rock is about as talented as Cena in my opinion.

Topic Title: Kenn Doane is at it again
"Hey, Kenny, who do you think is the best wrestler in the world? CM Punk?"
"No, Punk's good, but not as good as Triple H or The Rock, two of the industry's biggest stars."
........
........
So when you say Kenny is at it again, is "it" supposed to be "nothing of note"?

I was just wondering this. Is he going to be the next Tom Zenk, Paul London, or the Honky Tonk Man or am I reaching a bit?

"CM Punk's OK, I guess, but he's no Mason Ryan."

Seems like he's trolling. How so? I'd venture to agree with him tbh. Kinda dumb to compare a gimmick, it'd be like if he was debating who the real toughest SOB in the WWE is.

Saying the Rock or Trips are the best currently, even though they don't wrestle much, is hardly controversial IMO.

Saying that the Rock is the best in the world isn't much different than saying Angle is the best amateur wrestler in the world. Or Hogan and Austin are the biggest draws in wrestling.
What was maybe true at one point is not necessarily true right now.

I honestly don't get how someone things he is trolling the WWE with that comment. Sure, he said that the WWE champion is good, but not as good as two of the WWE's biggest names ever. I mean, if he had said that the best in the world right now are Bobby Roode and Austin Aries, then I might think he was trolling them a little bit (though there are probably those that would support that view). As it is, he simply said that the best were still in the WWE. If he meant to troll, then he sure is doing it wrong.

Triple H was the #1 draw in 2004; #2 draw in 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2008; the #3 draw in 1999 and 2002, #4 draw in 2001, and the #8 draw in 1998 in all of wrestling. I wouldn't say he never drew. People like to count draws as only the #1 guy. It takes more than 1 guy to make or break a show and sell tickets. Sure there are top draws, but the major strength of the biggest money making period, the AE were ALL of the amazing draws in WWF. Plus Triple H merchandise, whether it's through DX or his own t-shirts are consistently high sellers on the WWE site. To say he doesn't make draw (which in essence is getting money through your talents) is ridiculous. CM Punk is doing reasonably well, he'll never make the same money as Rock, Austin, 2002 Cena etc as wrestling has lost it's place in the market and with the rise in illegal streaming and websites like Barber Shop Window folk are going else where for their PPVs are merchandise, respectively. The merchandise from Barbershop Window might not be authentic but it's of better quality in terms of designs.

But with his past outbursts about Cena, he knew it would get a reaction from some people.

Since this guy is talking about people who can bring in the fans...I've wondered something for a while about Punk. Is he as bad as some writers on the internet claim about his segments losing viewers and not being able to bring in people to watch?
I've read stuff for a while on him and some make him out to be a total flop in that area. They also said the same about Bryan when he was champion.
If that's true...then why bother with them? I'm just curious.

Ratings-wise, I think Punk's segments have been gaining viewers for the last few weeks.

Ken really needs to do somethign else with his life now. Its pass acceptable now. But he'll likley still be doing his trolling in ten years. Only then, HHH will be "evil" for not giving him a job.

I don't understand this statement. He is doing something else with his life. I don't even think that he wrestles indie matches anymore and there would likely be some market for his services in that regard. If I am not mistaken he runs some sort of business and merely keeps in contact with the few select fans that care through social media.
