Seriously,why Cena and Lawler refuses to says that CM Punk isn't the best in the world.He is around the title picture for more than a year,he beat Cena so many times but they still refuses to says that Punk is the best in the world.How can Lawler and Cena still be face ? They acts like CM Punk was nothing and this is stupid.Du ring less than year,he beat everyone clean and respect the rules.

of course... because he's not.

he's not even the best wrestler in WWE, Daniel Bryan is. and the second best is Alberto Del Rio.
Tell me I didn't just read that

Because you can't say someone is better than you at wrestling in the WWE ffs.

Because its fake and scripted ;). If the 'wrestling' was real in WWE then Kurt Angle (when he was there) and Bryan Danielson would be at the top. Both great wrestlers. I consider them two the best in the world technically.

They don't because WWE doesn't favor logic, they favor adherence to the heel/face stereotype. With everything Cena always goes on about he should logically respect Punk as the champ because Cena's been beaten several times now (what he thinks about Punk as a person is a different matter). The creative department can obviously not write consistent personalities.

No one agrees with the best in the world
Best movie in the world?
Best music in the world?
Best actor in the world?
Best guitar player in the world?
Best singer in the world?
Everyone has the right to an opinion, and seriously that's just a storyline

Re: Why everybody refuses to says that CM Punk is the best in the world ?

lol many people held the WWE Title, does that mean all of them are the best? Plus everyone is trying to be the best, what kind of a loser would admit to someone else being the best? I'm laughing at people who think it would make any sense. This is just idiotic. Cena is trying to beat Punk, why would he call him the best, thats basically admitting he's the better man and Cena has less chance of winning at NOC. As for Lawyer, out of all the people over the years, why should he pick Punk?

Plus you praise many wrestlers, but you don't simply pick one and call him the best, specially when they demand you to.

That happens regularly in real combat sports. Respectful challengers (guys who would be faces in pro wrestling) hail the champ as the best because of what they have accomplished, but still believe they can take that spot and become the best.

Kayfabe wise, and even in reality, the belt used to mean you were THE GUY. As Flair always said... to be the man you have to beat the man. No one has beaten Punk yet... so this attitude Cena and Lawler have is strange. THere is a reason most wrestling fans aren't booing Punk even when he walks out. He's right.

Because he's heel. That's the point.

When he was face BOOM, YAY PUNKKKK #### BITWWWW... But he's heel now. He still gets cheered anyway because he's still too cool to be disliked and people know he's right anyway. They're not stupid enough to not realise Punk hasn't been in the PPV main events. Okay maybe they are, fuck it.

The OP is talking about kayfabe and general audience by the way, not some smarky comments alluding to D.Bry and ABD. In the land of kayfabe (which smartasses is exclusively what we're referring to here), Punk has had a long title reign and CAN justify his 'Best In The World' gimmick.

Re: Why everybody refuses to says that CM Punk is the best in the world ?

The only thing that bothers me is that especially Lawler was all over Punks nuts with "he's da best in da woarld" just weeks before raw 1000, therefore it's even in kayfabe there is no real reason to stop admiting it. Nobody beat him, or has risen from out of nowere and achieved more, no belts have changed, so the whole hook of the angle seems so absurdely forced. But as somebody said already, without it we wouldn't have a storyline, they just found the BretHartRespect.doc template during a creative meeting ^^

Like said before me... because he ain't the best in the world. If being WWE Champion counts, then Cena is still above him since his longest reign goes beyond one year and he only lost it by vacating it.

Clearly, he is not the best in the world.

When he faces The Rock he will obviously lose, so in WWE's eyes The Rock is the best in the world!

Because he isn't.

You just made my headache worse....

Some people here can't differentiate between reality and kayfabe. You guys call yourselves SMART marks?!

The OP clearly asked why people refused to acknowledge Punk greatness IN KAYFABE which means this is CM Punk who has beaten many people and defended his title cleanly for almost a year. Please don't make this as Phil Brooks who won a scripted title.

As for my answer, all I can say is truth doesn't matter in WWE. Being a face does.
