|  #2 Posted on 27.2.13 0823.58 | Instant Rating: 5.46 | I missed Lawler's Hulk/Loki comparison at the end of the match during my initial viewing. While apt, we have an early contender for most obviously-fed line of the year.
This match was incredible.

RAW is 3 hours. Let's see longer matches more often.
I agree that this should end, for a time, the Cena/Punk feud, and I look forward to Punk's post-Mania angle. Give him someone new to work against. A newly de-titled Antonio would be fine opponent.

Of course, the PUNKDRIVER was completely unexpected and I wish Cole would have played up that it is a banned move.
Really good match. | KJames199

How? It's never been talked about on TV as being banned. Punk wasn't disqualified for using it. Undertaker still uses the Tombstone. | Tribal Prophet

Maybe Zeb Coulter should have come out with a green screen behind him, explain to people that Phil just did a banned move, and then told Cena and Punk to get back in character. | Big Bad

Well, this actually could've been the finish. Punk hits the piledriver and gets DQ'ed since it's an illegal move. Punk and Heyman flip out and claim they're being discriminated against since "the Tombstone is legal" and then GONG.
Of course, that finish would've made Cena look weak, Punk look dumb (for using an illegal move) and Punk/UT is already big enough on its own without needed a storyline based around legal or illegal maneuvers.

Even more weird because as KJames199 pointed out, it's not an illegal move. To the average fan watching, they may as well ring the bell after a superplex and have Cole yell that (surprise!) the superplex was secretly made illegal and so Punk is disqualified.
It's a banned move in the sense of: if you use it, Vince will consider banning your career from existence. There's never been any mention of it being reason for a ref to end a match. | It's False

Someone sees "DVD sales" written on the wall!
They need to stop giving Zack Ryder crayons to pitch his ideas with. He really needs something else to do backstage.

You're right. Vince has never been known to abuse his power or be overtly and openly vindictive. I'm sorry. | JimBob Skeeter

WTF. As far as I know Vince has never ruined anyone's career over using a piledriver. That's all I was saying. |
