Here's something I learned during the Punk/Axel/Heyman match - screaming "I tap" doesn't count as tapping out? What gives with that?

He wasn't actually tapping?
That and him looking at the ref going, "HELP ME," was pretty weird.
I mean, the whole show was weird, but that was like - the ref just kind of looked the other way, literally at times.

It was stupid and it kind of bothered me. In kayfabe, he was trying to submit and the match should have been stopped. Paul should have never yelled that. It made the announcers and refs look stupid because they kind of had to ignore it because that wasn't the intended finish.

Made weirder because earlier in the night they were yelling that Brie had Naomi pinned... |

He even tried to tap with his foot. Terrible officiating.

f*** you Benson Henderson Yeah, this just happened in the UFC, where fighters are encouraged to give a 'verbal tap out' when their hand or arms are trapped and they can't give a traditional tap-out. I know WWE is entertainment. Again, I think it goes back to Paul Heyman and how he should never have yelled that. |

It would have been funny if Heyman lost the match by onlooking on the outside and tapping his watch to Curtis in order to get him to hurry. The ref sees this, and awards the match to Punk.

Maybe he was just telling the ref about his many talents. "I tap, I do ballet, I went to the royal academy of performing arts!"
What he should've said was, "I, Paul Heyman, do hereby submit!"

I too thought that the match wasn't stopped because he actually didn't tap out but looking back at that weird ending during the Divas Championship Fatal 4-Way, you have to think that some referees will definitely get an earful about their questionable officiating.

If anything, I am reminded of that horrible match where Ryback submits to Miz repeatedly kicking his leg.

What's even worse is this is how people used to submit.. you know, verbally.

Lock one of those in and you could have a match go for hours. |

That's what I was joking about with a friend. As soon as Punk first grabbed on to Heyman the first time, before Axel was eliminated, if Heyman would have just tapped out then and there, he would have been eliminated, and no longer an active participant in the match.
