Long story, short: I'm been a Wario Main for a while now and I can't quite get punishing other charecters down (which I heard is one of has strongest points) Any tips, advice or anything of the sort is welcomed.

The Punisher?

Wario can punish in the right situation, and the reason why people say Wario is the punisher is because of his immense waft which packs a punch. Wario's punish game is overrated IMO. He can punish, but it can sometimes get too dangerous and risky.
Down-B is Frame 5 (though you usually have to use seven frames to jump out of shield, as well), deals massive damage/knockback, and has almost no risk when using it. That means that a simple powershield or good read can get you a KO really easily.
Down-B, U-Air, D-Air, and F-Smash deal substantial damage and are all reasonably fast. N-Air is fast and can combo into other stuff at lower percents. Wario has many short strings that deal a lot of damage, and his aerial mobility allows him to apply pressure easily against most characters.

Thanks guys! I'll work this into my gameplay. Are there any tips on recognizing a publishable situation?

No, half waft is frame 5. Every other waft is slower.
