In the 40-50 range.
His fans will cry and say he's top 20 all time though.

Top 100. I can think of at least 10 guys more relevant, one of which is Cawdy although I'm not a big fan of his.

How many 5 star matches does Phil have? 1? Cause Cena carried him? Cody is better

If you want to argue meme stars then they both have the same amount of 5-star matches, and Punk didn't need the AEW bonus to do it

if he had stayed retired, he would be considered a huge what if and be top 30 to maybe inside the top 10. he's exposing himself in and out of the ring. probably still top 100, but his legacy is insanely tarnished at this point.

I'm just going to list people off the top of my head, in particular order, but who are for sure over Punk.
>Bruno, Savage, Hogan, Flair, Bret, HBK, SCSA, Roddy Piper, Billy Graham, Andre, Jake, The Rock, Sting, DDP, Steamboat, Goldberg, Snuka, Steiner, Benoit, Cena, Taker, Thesz, Harley Race, Dusty, Angle, Jericho, Lawler, Lesnar, Styles
That's 30 easy with no doubt. And that's not including names that are better than Punk but will be argued and make people seethe like Hunter, Nash, Razor and Edge. I don't think a guy can even be in the top 75 if he takes 7 years off though

Yeah when it comes down to name recognition, Punk's name recognition is going to be limited to AEW fans, while Cody will end up with a long and influential run in WWE. There's just more marketing power behind him.
I don't find either of them very entertaining.

Except Punk was already at the top of late 2000s-early 2010s WWE, while Cody is unironically a career midcarder and isn't planning to wrestle for more than a few years in his WWE return.

People have the attention span of a gnat now. The only people who will end up considering Punk's legacy as better than what Cody will end up building are niche fans. Normies will know Cody and there are more of them than us.
I have no dog in this fight, I just think it's a numbers game.

Probably top 100 in terms of being a draw. Certified merch mover and great on the mic as a heel or antihero, his pure baby face stuff is the drizzling shits however. 4/10 in the look department, still he looks better than some other guys in AEW. Hes always been serviceable in the ring, and his finisher is great and looks legit. Personally, he’s in the 60-50 range but objectively 40-30s

Are you stupid? Punk was at the top during 2011-2012 were unironically more people watched RAW than now a days. Every single dronie is aware of Punk.

Punk is not that much of a draw if we compare him to wrestlers who wrestled during the golden age up until the Attitude Era. So he is probably only in the top 50s. He would've easily been top 30 if he dropped his ego and actually gain mass by using steroids, trt and protein shakes. It's a shame really because he is supposed to be a smark and should've realized that physical looks is an important factor in prowrestling.
