Over the past few weeks i've noticed Punk's character has started shifting, his promos are beginning to remind me of Chris Jericho a bit.
After his super serious storyline with Heyman and co it now seems Punk has loosened up and is having fun goofing around with his interviews.
I think being a bit more "loose" suits him alot better, I am actually interested in him as a wrestler again for the first time in ages.

Disagree I prefer intense "the world owes me" Punk. I personally think now he's merely filling time before his Mania build-up push begins.

The Punk of January-April was the best Punk.

No, the last thing you'd want is CM Punk "loosened up" and "goofing around" because the last time we had a loosey-goosey, fun-loving CM Punk, he coined "goat face" for Daniel Bryan and spent the entire month of June 2012 saying nothing but "crazy chicks, AM I RIGHT?!?!" That was the worst iteration of CM Punk.

I'd take goofy face comedian Punk any day of the week over cowardly "please boo me!" Punk.

If it's just Punk relaxed and being Punk, then great. If it's forced one way or the other (As he has been over the last couple of years), not so much.

For the first time in years I'm actually not interested in punk. His current character just feels bland. Sure he still brings it in the ring but since his feud with Lesnar ended he's not been entertaining in the slightest. Hopefully this might change now that he's feuding with the shield.

You don't see him coming up with corny disses directed towards The Shield or the Wyatts or anyone else on the lame level as "goat face".

I dunno. I love Punk but this is the only time where his promos have bored me.

When you have to force a character it just makes bad Television. At least with Cena, whenever he's getting booed there are cheers to counter it, with Punk, he was getting face pops after just essentially pissing in a kid's bowl of cereal and it came across as stupid to me.

He feels generic to me. The bitching WWE champion was really his best days.

Even when Punk is going through an uninteresting stretch, he always feels like any second he could do something and BAM! interesting again. So in that way, he's always interesting to me.

Loose, sarcastic Punk is hands down the best Punk. I don't mind him being a tough guy when he has to sell an upcoming match, but when he tries to be angry Straight Edge Steve Austin all the time, it's lame. He needs to be less like Wolverine and more like Tony Stark.
I like "Shut Up Josh" Punk, or the one that allegedly hit a big boot and legdrop on Bryan during a house show (is there footage of that?)

Yes, that's the word. Bland. It's nothingness. It's how I'd want him to be if he came around for a beer but I don't always find those who I want to share a beer with 'TV' entertaining.

I still find comparing the ever-so-Straight Edge Punk with a noted fictional alcoholic like Tony Stark to be very funny, even if it does fit greatly (well, their personalities).

Punk is one of those rare guys who always entertains me regardless of his current gimmick or personality.
He could be Battle Kat II: Catnip Free and Better Than You, and I'd still mark.

The most into Punk I've been this year was this promo where he challenged Lesnar.
That's the Punk I want to see. Or the Punk that feuded with The Rock earlier this year.

For my own sanity, I prefer him loose and relaxed, but even so, he doesn't feel like "CM Punk" unless he's his bitter, "everybody sucks but me and Colt Cabana", world-hating Smug Curmudgeon who is out to ruin everybody's credibility.
Basically a pop-culture version of "FTW" Tazz (or what HHH (especially in his original "I AM THE GAME!" phase) would have been without Stephanie behind him). That's what "CM Punk" is to me.
Loose/relaxed Punk is "Eh, Phil!" to me.
