I'll be honest, I marked when CM Punk won. I then marked when Kevin Nash appeared. I proceeded to then run around my living room at 3.50am when Del Rio cashed in and won. I'm marking out Broski's. This. I really don't see how this ending sucked at all, outside of the need to keep Cena strong by not actually having him lose clean (which I could understand since they're probably setting up a four-way next month and need a reason for Cena to still have a legitimate claim to the title). This ending teases two very interesting angles: 1) Punk vs. The Kliq 2) We're swerved and find out that it wasn't actually Hunter that hired Nash, but Stephanie - who is representing her father's interests, and the hallway conversation with Hunter was merely a red herring to make us all think Hunter was in on it when he wasn't. Either way, there’s possibility here. Just because they used an older guy doesn’t mean it’s a bad call, as long as they use him well. And I’m giving WWE the same chance I give TNA to follow up on a shock ending.

Regardless on how I feel about the title switch, the simple fact that Del Rio won the WWE Title almost one year to the day where he made his in-ring debut is a big deal.
Fairly quickly, I might add. ;D

You honestly believe with how hot and pro-punk the crowd was, and how many Best In The World shirts you saw in the crowd, that he's going to be shoved off and forgotten? Back to midcard? If you ask me, it's nice to have a main-event angle that doesn't involve either of the major titles. Yep. Jericho, RVD, and Booker T were crazy over as well and look how they were buried in the process. Trust me the WWE has already messed up Punk's momentum and he'll just be pushed down once again, feuding in the mid-card, and the whole ADR being champion will lead to Cena regaining the title again. Remember when Orton beat Benoit for the championship? It's similar to that, because Vince and his "creative" team knew if Cena beat Punk fans would've been pissed. So they have ADR be the transitional champion and have Cena win it, that way it won't look like Cena "overcame the odds" again. None of those guys listed were booked as strongly as Punk has been, and RVD is a one-trick pony who can't cut promos. They also were around when WWE had hotter properties like Angle, Triple H, Undertaker, and Lesnar. There is no hotter property in WWE than CM Punk right now. Torpedoing him would be like killing The Rock's momentum in 1999.

Huge mistake having no Ricardo at the end... that's my biggest disappointment by far. True The crowd at SS did after cameras were off,he announced Del Rio as champ and put the belt on him.

I was pissed that Del Rio got the belt, but considering Nashs involvement, Cenas foot on the rope and Punk with a mic tomorrow night, regardless of how YOU want it to go, tomorrow night is now a very must-see RAW.

He had just wrestled and won a long match with Cena. He didn't get 'squashed'.
He got the typical MITB beat down cash in that Cena and Undertaker have gotten.

Punk was on the receiving end of what Edge, Rey Mysterio, John Cena, The Undertaker and Chris Jericho were. None of those guys were hurt by it in the long run. People are acting like he was thrown into a box labeled "to FCW" and wheeled out of the arena.

The old guy snuck up on him, hit a jacknife powerbomb and happens to have 12 inches and 100 lbs on Punk. Plus the old guy happens to be freaking Diesel. Thats like saying anyone who lost to Shawn Michaels was buried due to Shawn being old. He had just been through a war with the undisputed top dog of the roster, BEATEN that guy, and was understandably exhuasted after that match and the subseuent Jacknife. So no, he wasnt even slightly buried. I swear, the word "buried" is the most overused and most incorrectly used term on here.
