I like Sheamus, but I probably wouldn't build my company around him. I'd have no problem doing that with CM Punk.

Sheamus. As good as Punk is on the mic, i think Sheamus is slightly better. He captivates the audience and makes you want to listen to him. His storytelling ability in-ring is better too, he's agile and is an amazing seller. I'd also consider him to be the bigger draw. I like Punk but cant go against the Celtic Warrior.

H. I have voted the same as you on every round. My question is, do you seriously believe Sheamus is a bigger draw than Punk?

sheamus I like, I think he has improved a hell of a lot in the ring and with his promo skills, he has adapted well to his push as a face which is something I wasnt sure he would do after his success as a heel. I think shaemus will be near the top of the pile for a long long time to come.

Punk.....if u believe the hype he is the new messiah. He is excellent in the ring, promos are excellent, character excellent ticks all the boxes and should be a head line act for the next decade or more....

but for me since he cut that memorable promo ( match at MITB aside) he has done nothing to really excite me, the insider refrences are great for us lot but the general audience dosnt have a clue...I cant put my finger on why it is but i just find Punk well a little boring to be honest

Im not hating on punk before people crucify me im just saying how I feel

I dont want Punk to win this tournament and for that reason im voting for the big fellah

Of course not, i was pishing about waiting to see if anyone took it seriously!

I voted for Punk!

He is doing a lot better than I thought he would though.
Punk backlash?

I like Sheamus a lot, if the WWE took better care of his character he could be absolutely huge but while they are making him look strong they're also making him out to be a nice guy face, he's a badass who should be a loner, he should be booked as such

I'm with you on the insider references Lex how can you build a new audience when one of your top guys is only catering to 10% of the current viewers.... This is not a fault of Punk the wrestler more his character. Saying that he's still the best thing in WWE by quite a distance... Never liked Sheamus but he's developed well recently... This should be Punk by a landslide

Haha sorry, long work day (which is not finished yet) well played sir.

Thats alright buddy, did you vote Punk too? And i know what you mean about a long day at work...

When I first opened this...for a split second...I thought "Hmm...tough call."

But I instantly realised it's not a tough call at all.

Obviously I rate Sheamus. I think he's brutal as a heel and could easily play the badass face roll.

But he's just not in the same league as Punk at the moment.

Easy decision. Sheamus is great and has a bright future. But for every headline impressive performance, I believe you get an equally impressive under the radar one. And CM Punk has delivered it. And whilst CM Punk has been dropping pipebombs, CM Punk has been quietly cleaning up the debris.

You only have to see the immense reactions Punk gets from the crowds in the arenas (and not just within the IWC) to give him the nod.

Statto00 actually makes a very good point there. Punk is generally regarded as mainly being popular with the IWC but when you hear the reactions he gets pretty much every week it would suggest that he's actually very very popular with the widespread audience. You dont become the No1 merch seller because a load of guys on the internet like you.

I like Sheamus, I think he has a great look, is good on the mic and can pull off a decent match. He just looks tough. He has done well to recover from the slump in his career, although it's no surprise as Smackdown is infinitely better at making people look good (see Mark Henry and Cody Rhodes this year, and Del Rio the year before).

But...

There can only be one winner in this round, I've been a big fan of CM Punk since his WWECW days, and he's only got better.
