Although I think it's misguided, I have to respect your single handed determination to keep this thread going. He makes me want to reach for the stars. Ain't no party like a straight edge party

I'm definitely excited about his return. The only bad part of it is the fact they're having to split the roster to make it happen. If the rumor about him trying to reach out to the Elite and apologize only for them to shoot him down is true, that just makes it more of a bummer.
But yeah, Punk is a massive star, definitely the biggest they have. He makes their product infinitely more interesting and it's a huge positive that he's back. In a perfect world, he mends things with Cabana and they end up forming a heel Second City Saints (this time with FTR) that feuds with the Elite. Sadly, I think we have a better chance of developing a real-life Jurassic Park than that ever happening.

I love CM Punk, but he shouldn't get a title reign.

I love CM Punk, but he shouldn't get a title reign. Midcard or ROH Title might actually be fine I don't think you can trust him with the world title ever again. Have him lose a title defense down the line maybe but he's already held it twice he has nothing more to prove there.

Sting will always be a bigger name in wrestling than Punk and it would take a loooot to change that. Jericho is more debatable but definitely contributed more to AEW.

He can be entertaining but... He has way to big of an ego. He was an anti draw in his big WWE Main Event run. Like... He actively lost viewers. Big time. That's why he never main evented Maina and Miz did. Miz was a draw.
Other than that... I enjoyed the "Pipe Bomb" at the time & his matches were entertaining even if his promos and character work sucked during the "Summer of Punk" WWE edition and his heel title run.

Can't stand the taste of aspartame Same, I tried. Closest I can get is Pepsi Zero, it actually has some sweetness to it My dad drank Diet Coke all the time and that shit tasted like battery acid lol Coke Zero was legit my favorite soda ever. Then they rebranded all of the Zero flavors into Zero Sugar and it just didn't taste the same.

I kind of get it, I think Punk's high points are bigger. Jericho though has the advantage of longevity, being around during one of wrestlings biggest periods, and being a lot more of a professional and therefore not burning any goodwill. He's also done nothing but help AEW get to where it is. So yeah, if you surveyed random people on the street who they recognise more, *maybe* Punk wins. For pretty much any other purpose, I'd take one Jericho over 50 Punk's.

Appreciation thread has never meant "no discussion or conflicting opinions allowed". This has mostly been a hugbox, but when someone says Punk is a bigger name than Jericho and especially that he's a bigger name than MF'ing STING, it's going to be challenged?

Well, except for one major detail on Miz's Wrestlemania main event. Miz wasn't even the main focus of his main event feud. Rather, the whole build was used as a platform to promote Cena vs Rock for next year's Mania main event.
I feel awful for Miz in that respect.

I'll give you that. But Miz earned his main event before that.

I'm a massive Sting fan, so I would always put him ahead of Punk in my head. But as far as modern day is concerned, I would argue he's ahead of both.
