Gave the nod to Lawler.

Felt Bryan was better in terms of in-ring skills, Lalwer in terms of promos, and split in terms of character/gimmicks. Mainly gave Lalwer the edge because of legacy reasons and Bryan's time at the top being cut really short.

In regards to who played a bigger impact for indies in the WWE between Punk and Bryan, I'd argue Punk played a much bigger role. His successes helped paved the road for Bryan's success and WWE's current craze for indie stars. Bryan became influential for smaller guys being seen as legit top star material in the WWE but would have had a lot harder or impossible road if it wasn't for Punk first.
