It’s hard, right?” he said, and when asked whether he’d put himself on his own list, Punk disagreed and explained that overall, he’d prefer to choose someone who was not just considered the best of all time, but ‘wore different hats.’ “Everyone normally says like, you know, [Ric] Flair, Shawn Michaels is a good pick, Dusty’s another good pick.”

Punk was then jokingly asked if Logan Paul would make the list, leading the veteran to quickly shut the suggestion down while proclaiming that he wouldn’t even be Top 100. “Very, very, very good, very skilled, picked it up very fast, but you’re talking to a wrestling history buff,” he noted, dismissing Paul if he were to potentially become offended by his statement. “I think Dusty is a very – I think Dusty is a very good pick. Yeah, Dusty, six; six with a bullet.”
