I think it's just because they like him as a wrestler. I think, at the very best so far I've seen/heard from him at the announce booth, he's average, a 5 on a scale of 1-10 at the very best.
Punk is no doubt a great wrestler and good on the mic AS A WRESTLER, but just because one is good at promos as a wrestler does not mean he has what it takes to be a color commentator, at least on a consistent basis and not a one off thing. I don't think even someone like the Rock could of done commentary full time. It is a totally different ballgame. I actually find Punk, so far, a bit boring on color. Again, great superstar, not so good announcer (although, to be fair, he could improve over time, but it may take awhile).
BQ: Do you hate how Vince McMahon took Joey Styles off TV and put him in the back?? What a waste, and they give noobs like Todd Grisham air time. Seriously, there is not one announcer in WWE currently that does not make me yawn. Even Lawler is not what he used to be which is very much evident, aside from the very occasional funny joke (he used to have one liners all the time).
