While a number of wrestling insiders would disagree with Stephanie McMahon's belief that CM Punk's wrestling skills are not quite ready for primetime, she (and those whose heat has already been reported) is not the only WWE employee to have a less-than-stellar view of the wrestler.
According to PWTorch.com, several WWE wrestlers believe Punk comes off as "****y" backstage.
Punk drew heat from some wrestlers for mockingly asking if he could dress in the same locker room as them.
Meanwhile, WWE officials continue to view his tattoos as a drawback for numerous reasons.
Slim's avatar is of Punk, so you can see from there. I think the problem they have with Punk is the same problem they always have with new people: They didn't train him, they didn't brainwash him in the WWE style, so therefore he sucks. I can't wait until he's back in RoH...
I have not seen him wrestle but from what I hear is that he is very talented and he should be on the main roster right now.

Stephanie McMahon being a significant judge of wrestling skill is kind of funny in a sad way.
It also helps when she has a little birdie by the name of Hunter whispering in her ear.

Maybe he's getting a little of the ROH backlash from the WWE boys. Batista recently suggested in an interview that guys like CM Punk and AJ Styles didn't know how to "work" properly. A classic piece of WWE indoctrination which basically just means "they don't know how to work our limited style too well".
Samoa Joe did a counter interview saying Batista was showing what a dumb WWE-mark he was by suggesting Punk couldn't work as he'd worked scores of matches with the guy and knows for sure that he can work.
