He maybe could have been. But dropping that terrible elbow drop (even if it was on purpose as a weird tribute) disqualifies him from the convo.
Also no where near the athlete Savage was. |

Cena/Hogan
Punk/Savage seems like a good parallel to me, he may not have been the athlete Savage was but Heyman cut better promos than Miss Liz to offset this |

No. CM Punk didnt even have an ice cream bar. Macho Man had an ice cream bar and he did Slim Jim commercials. CM Punk is more like a modern day Dennis Stamp

Nah. Punk was more like a Bret Hart if anything. Savage was treated like a bigger deal than Punk.

IDK...Punk got to feud with all the big names...Brock, Rock, Cena, HHH, Y2J
Not even Braun, the current Macho Man character, has gotten to feud with Rock, Cena, Y2J and HHH |

That's also a dumb statement since only 1 of those people are even part time. 1 is Mania time only. Y2J kind of had a thing with Braun though when Owen's was the champ. |

Hogan/Cena/Roman -- the 'face' of the company who isn't as popular w/ hardcore fans
Macho Man/Ultimate Warrior/CM Punk/Daniel Bryan/Braun Strowman -- the true most popular person w/ hardcore fans who influences future wrestling styles more and is organically popular |

randy isn't popular enough as a face...but he did have that rko 'outta nowhere' meme a few years ago.
The only other option if not Punk is BATISTA the KING of SMACKDOWN!! |

Batista was so good...always 'marked' for Big Dave even when the H8rs showed up
Feel sad we never got THE ANIMAL in another WM match b/c of Vince being salty or w/e |

Not quite, although he was great on the mic and in the ring. Plus he didn't get to headline a WrestleMania. Enjoyed his Savage tribute tho.

Macho never quit cause he couldn't main event Mania, so nope.
If anything Punk is the Nailz of today. Quit cause he didn't get what he wanted, then holds a grudge forever. |

I don't think I even mean any of this I was just bored tbh
I was a really big CM Punk fan tho, he was definitely one of my favorites of the last decade who I got 'genuinely excited' to see (like DBry). ...but there can be ONLY ONE Randy Macho Man Savage |

Going to say no but can't think of an exact reason why.
If Cena is the "Hogan" of this era, then Orton would be the "Macho Man" only because WWE forced it that way. Bryan probably has a better claim to being the modern "Macho Man" mainly because he reached bigger Mania success than Punk, is a bigger fan favorite than Orton, and the better in-ring wrestler out of the three. |

Nah. He always felt like this weird tertiary guy. I'd say he was a modern day babyface equivalent to Ted DiBiase. I don't know. Maybe Jake the Snake?

No crowds chant 'jake the snake' like they do 'CM PUNK'
Punk is still one of the most over guys in WWE -- be's probably more popular than all the women and Seth/Roman/Dean! |

No CM Punk is probably more like the modern day Bret Hart. Didn't care for either and both a whiny shits.
