WWE Made Bank Hiring this Guy

Hiring this guy was probably the smartest decision WWE ever made.

So Tommy Is The Reason Behind Punk's Success.

[@adzkebabz7278]

Partially. CM Punk is naturally talented and could've got over in another promotion especially with AEW but getting over in WWE is more efficient to be a popular star because its the most famous wrestling promotion. But he already had a successful career in TNA

[@youngchino525]

They should've saved him from the UFC. But then again at least cm punk gets to walk around like he's the toughest guy in locker room even tho he didn't even do anything apart from hit air with those horrible nerd punches 😂

Basically it’s Vince and honestly it would have screwed WWE up severely if he got his way so glad he’s gone now.

[@a-paco-lypse4429]

It wasn't just Vince. There was plenty of wrestlers who didn't like Punk that had pull back then and even do now. Hunter and Shawn are 2. They like him now but that wasn't always the case as wrestling fans know . There's plenty of evidence to back that it wasn't just vince but plenty of WWE staff and wrestlers.

[@maynardperalta3188]

Dreamer GETS wrestling. He was able to get over by NOT winning the ECW championship for years. I guess that's why his name was Dreamer.

He also nearly assassinated Paul Heyman. Glad it didn't come into fruition because as well as Heyman not being alive for Brock to end the streak and be with the Bloodline this wouldn't have happened either 💀

[@360entertainment2]

I’d say he was decently motivated, it’s good thing that Heyman is actually an OK dude in real life and had him hired into WWE.

[@Axs_Nice_Hair]

@@360entertainment2 depends on what your idea of an OK dude is. He's a very charming man so people forgive him for the terrible things he's done. He screwed a lot of people when he ran ECW. He owes A LOT of people A LOT of money. Chris Candido was cheated out of 170,000 because of Paul.

[@rayedmonds6108]

​@@Axs_Nice_HairI love Heyman. ECW saved my fandom on the mid 90's, but Heyman is a shady businessman who screwed over countless wrestlers.
