He gets 20 min. every RAW for the same promo. He never loses. Yea, he has to cheat to win but the end result is the same. This is how HHH would have been booked if he wasnt on roids, uhh I mean look like he's on roids. New age HHH. I bet HHH is backstage living vicariously thru Punks title reign! It's a CM Punk overload!!!

While I do think this long of a reign for Punk was unexpected, he's certainly no Triple H. HHH had some entire episodes of Raw booked around him and friggin Scott Steiner, and this was when Raw was two hours!

Not to give the TC any legitimacy here, but I've always felt like Punk was the "new HHH" pretty much from the time they moved him off of ECW.

Punk has been one of the most vulnerable champs in the last 5 years
I still don't get the SuperPunk argument

I'd take 20 minute promos from CM Punk over 20 minute promos from HHH any day. 20 minute promos from Punk are better than an entire show of Cena.

This comparison doesn't work. For the majority of in 2003 Triple H couldn't have a good match to save his life.
And until we get a Punk/Ryback push up contest and pose off, he is nowhere near as bad.

He's Superman because he never loses! I thought the argument was that Cena was Superman, because he never loses. That's so irritating when a top guy never loses on Tv or anything!
Oh right, we're talking about Punk. Nevermind then.

LOL. I knew this would get a rise out of some people! God forbid some1 has a not so great opinion of CM Punk! Nothing negative was said about him, just a comparison. I didn't say he was HHH, he's a new breed of HHH. This is the skinny fat___ version of HHH. He doesn't squash anyone but he doesn't get any1 over either. Name 1 guy Punk has elevated. The last guy that was elevated in a CM Punk feud was CM Punk when he fought Jeff Hardy. It's kind of funny that a druggie (definition of druggie: person who CM Punk hates, frowns upon, laughs at behind back) was the one who really got Punk rolling. Maybe in a few months when the Punk diehards are watching RAW and Punk's dropping 1 of them "pipebombs" they'll think to themselves, u know what, I coulda sworn he said this same thing last week and the week before, etc. On a side note, I love wrestlecrap.com. Best .com in the world!

But this is a world where being booked as a big star is often seen as a character flaw for some reason. I mean, there's actually debates here (and it's worse in other places), where wrestlers are judged based on how many times they lose. Like if they lose a lot, they're considered better people than if they're booked more strongly.

I don't think this is a totally negative comparison. I mean Triple H's 2003 title reign still gets brought up to this day, when a LOT of title reigns over the last ten years have been completely forgotten. I'm not saying everyone liked the title reign, far from it, but it's still relevant and there's hardly any doubt it truly made Batista a star when he beat HHH at WM-21 for the title.
As for comparision points, I can see it:
-Ultra-Charismatic Manager (Ric Flair) for Ultra-Charismatic Star (Triple H)? : Check (Paul Heyman)
-Big Monster Challenger (Goldberg) who the Champion has to cheat to get around?: Check (Ryback)
-Frequent Promo Time either opening or closing Raw?: Check.
-Stable of younger guys being introduced around him? (Evolution): Check (The Shield + Maddox)
So the comparison is fair, it has merit. It's a long heel title reign in the same vein as a previous one, everyone PITCHFORKS DOWN.

I can see the comparisons, it's a legit complaint.
However, I don't remember Triple H coming out and selling the virtues of a mid-card "workhorse" like Tyson Kidd.

He consistently buries Ryback. And buried the concept of Daniel Bryan's character.
I may not be using the word bury right... but then I am not sure anyone on the internet does!
