Do people even want CM Punk back anymore?

He was my favorite guy on the roster before he left. But now he's completely soiled his "brand." His appeal was in his ability to play both smarks and marks, along with passable in ring abilities, and good promos/charisma.

Pretty much the only person on the roster he's ever had extended contact with is John Cena. So unless Jeff Hardy had the title, and Punk returned at #30 in a Royal Rumble, I don't see him having anyone he'd obviously pair well with.

I think his remaining fans will hype it up like crazy. But he'll just end up floating around doing nothing important, and then the hype will fade. And all we'll have it a hollow shell of someone once enjoyable.

If he wants to come back successfully, he needs to do a few things. He can either train more and be somewhat decent in the UFC. Or he can go to ROH to get his smark support back, and then NJPW to get his in ring abilities top tier. After that he'd also have to make amends with the WWE management, and make sure he gets a good story to return to. But on the other hand going to ROH and NJPW will lower the hype for him by quite a bit.

Honestly Phil is a faggot who ruined his life over nothing. He was never "the guy" so he won't be brought up in 10 years in the same way Cena will. He'll basically be Bret Hart in the sense that he's known by fans, but has nothing truly remarkable. His biggest accomplishment was holding a belt for a year and a half, and that's about it.

I'd like to see him return for nostalgia's sake. But honestly there's no way he returns to the same fame he had when he left. Phil would have had his mania main event and probably another title reign had he just stuck around. A 40 year old man has no business throwing a temper tantrum and going to get into fights with men in the prime of their life.

the >product has been so bad that fans would welcome anybody

>>2596666
>It feels like his spot's been filled by talent from New Japan

Except nobody WWE is signing is nearly as good on the mic as Punk is and the last thing WWE needs right now is "good workrate"

>>2596666
He's old, i hope i never see him in wwe again.

>>2596680
Shouldn't you be at church Paul?

>>2596693
You're right, they're not as good on the mic. But regardless they're taking the 'not quite the guy' spot.

>>2596666
He's better than 90% of their commentators.

>>2596666
I want him back only to deny him the WM main event at the last moment

>>2596753
that's because there's no one there so they settle for less. But if he were there, he'd probably take back his prestigious #2 guy spot.

I wouldn't mind if he came back to wrestling. I'm sure NJPW would be happy to have him.

Lol Punk isn't anywhere near the level of Bret Hart.
