Punk vs Bryan

>>2228732
Crappy Match Punk never main evented Wrestlemania.

Punk. Bryan would never had a chance without him coming first.

>>2228732

Bryan's the more influential wrestler and had the bigger impact on the indies.

The WWE is not the whole of wrestling. Jesus Christ.

>>2228732
Neither.

Wrestling hasn't changed due to either of them, therefore neither had an impact.

Hogan had an impact on wrestling, Austin had an impact on wrestling. Not these guys.

Well, seeing how a majority of indy wrestlers and even current WWE wrestlers try and emulate him, I would say that is a significant change.

Bryan Danielson has a bigger impact on WRESTLING, but Punk and Jeff Hardy were the guys who made that the "indie style" would have a bigger presence in WWE. Without that two and some others, including Daniel Bryan, guys like AJ Styles, Kevin Owens or the entire NXT main eventers probably couldn't be considered something more than "indie darlings".

However, in general terms, neither of them is equal to Hogan, Austin, Rock, Cena, Taker when we are talking about make grow the wrestling popularity and draw dimes

Punk had the biggest impact, he brought more smark interest to the company, the same smarks that don't pay for WWE but want the entire show changed to their satisfaction.

Now we have indie jobbers everywhere because WWE decided to cater to the fat demographic at the cost of ratings. On the plus side they've been focusing on the more traditional wrestlers like Goldberg/Lesnar/Roman/Braun so things may change.

The way Bryan btfo Foley makes me think Bryan actually hates Cuck Foley.

>>most over wrestler since Austin
KEK

>>drew the highest ratings RAW has seen since 2006
literally making shit up

>>still the most over guy on the roster as a GM
not even the most over authority figure on smackdown

>>Always gave 100% for the fans, never sulked
>>never complained
Objectively wrong, he cried backstage when they had to stop a match because he got injured again

>>works Vince and Steph from backstage constantly because he knows they won't fire him
>being this much of a mark

>>made tag-team wrestling relevant again
>>made the world heavyweight championship relevant again
>>made the IC title relevant again by being associated with it, despite never defending it
>despite never defending it

I literally just made it up for that post

>>2228732
>Wrestling as a whole
D-Bry
>WWE
CM Punk

if it weren't for CM Punk, D-Bry wouldn't have had a shot in WWE, wouldn't have main evented WM30, NXT wouldn't be as badass as it is

that's the bottom line

>>2228896
Emulate him how?
