Awesome, awesome match. Particularly given I really haven't cared about this storyline and wasn't looking forward to it.

WWE MOTYC.
Punk's Savage Elbow is still pretty awful.

Heyman interfered a little too much for my tastes but it was overall pretty good.

Not sure I'm ready to award it match of the year status (there have been a lot of great matches this year), but it's easily in my top five. The point about Punk understanding MMA psychology is pretty spot on; it was pretty much a flawless hybrid of that and classic pro wrestling storytelling.

WWE MOTYC. Punk's Savage Elbow is still pretty awful. Oh my god that elbow is sloppy. Magnus in TNA has a beautiful Top Rope Elbow. The match itself pulled me in so deep it was crazy. Seriously - it was the wrestling equivalent of Wolverine vs Sabertooth (w/Heyman as Styker maybe?) in every way imaginable, except for retractable claws. Loved it. They were sweating buckets too. haha.

Absolutely insane stuff. Amongst all the amazing bits, the part that really stands out for me was that sweet kimura-armbar-triangle transition. But seriously, MOTY so far.

Punk's Savage Elbow is still pretty awful. No matter how awful it is a chair assisted Macho Man elbow to the face should always get a pinfall (even allowing for a slight delay before the cover). It's bad enough the stanard version has been downgraded from a finisher. Oh well, that aside it was a great match.

When Punk had Heyman by the tie, anybody else scream out "HE'S GOT HIM BY HIS TONGUE!!!!" Like I did?

Awesome match that made Lesnar look like a beast again. Contrast Punk's standing ovation to Triple H's "You tapped out!" chants.

I do not think either this or Bryan/Cena will be beaten in terms of pure match quality this year WWE wise. They were both that good but I give the edge to Lesnar/Punk for the pure insanity of some of those spots.

I was a defender of the Triple H angle, but this just destroyed that in every sense. So hard hitting, so fast paced, got both guys over at no-one's expense. Brock looks like a beast, but Punk clearly could've beaten him. Brilliant stuff. This is what wrestling is all about.

The ending was f***ing intense. GTS, Heyman interference, F5 but no DDT counter, Heyman interference, Brock Lesnar snaps with the steel chair, Brutal looking F5 with Punk flying into the chair. Instant classic

Tremendous match! It's definite that Brock can still go, he just needs the right partner. They just got everything right. Brock was dominant while Punk was tenacious.
There's a lot of potential in mixing together wrestling and MMA psychology, we'll get really fresh matches and moves. I totally marked when Punk was in the Kimura and I yelled out for an armbar reversal and voila! That's exactly what happened.

They were sweating buckets too. haha. I'm pretty sure Brock ends up sweating buckets by the time he's done his little ramp-dance. Dude is disgusting to look at during matches. That being said, he put on a great one last night w/ Punk.

Great match. The only thing I didn't like was how many times Punk was distracted by Heyman. Punk's character should be smarter than that and it wasn't believable.

sounds like I missed a hell of a match. to the torrent sites!
right guy went over. Brock needed a big win after the terrible booking from his feud with Triple H.
