Damn that looked rough!!!!!! I. Don't think Big E's reaction was just him selling it he looked legit loopy and Punk forced a pin on him.

I saw him sell Punk's kick earlier in the match in a similar manner, so I'm thinking Big E is just a master seller.

His selling and his running-start Super Splash signature move is enough to make me a Big-E-liever.

I'm always amazed the GTS doesn't cause a broken nose every time it's done. I know they're pros obviously but it seems like it's so easy to mess up.

He did legitimately knocked out Rey Mysterio with the GTS but that happened during the time Rey was really hated here and people didn't care enough to care. |

Botching only matters when it's someone you hate. |

And then Rey gave Punk a gash with his knee brace that was so minor they wrestled the rest of the match after like a 30 second delay, and the folks 'round here went into screaming conniptions about how Mysterio is an unsafe menace who should be banned from wrestling again. |

Big E does this awesome KO sell where he rolls his eyes in the back of his head and falls over, it's great stuff. Most big guys don't bother doing something like that. I'm always amazed the GTS doesn't cause a broken nose every time it's done. I know they're pros obviously but it seems like it's so easy to mess up. He did legitimately knocked out Rey Mysterio with the GTS but that happened during the time Rey was really hated here and people didn't care enough to care. Armageddon 08 I believe. That was an awesome match, it was relatively short but I thought it was one of the best of the year outside of Jericho/HBK greatness. Really nasty GTS though, looked devastating and probably felt even worse. Surprised he hasn't busted more noses, I think it's just been Rey and Snitsky. |

That was a case of a botch making a match better, they turned up the intensity after that delay once the crowd started a boring chant. Punk getting his head shaved with the busted head was awesome. Hating on wrestlers for botches/tater shots is silly, as long as it isn't a pattern of recklessness (looking at you RVD). |

Didn't Punk bust Regal open with the GTS too? Or am I imagining things again?

I do remember he broke Snitsky's nose in some filler match once, late in Snitsky's bald bad teeth phase.
Kinda surprised the move is a thing in the WWE. It's just not really something that can be 100% safe. It's easy for either party to mess up. Punk's gotta drop his opponent cleanly on their feet so they can bump properly and bring his knee up late enough that it's safe but early enough that it doesn't show tons of light. Meanwhile the opponent has to make sure they land on their feet properly, try to get close to the knee also so it looks like it hit, yet snap backwards for the bump which they'll want solid footing for.
Also unless Punk gets a nice neat drop from the fireman's carry with a certain style, it's too late for the person's hands to be free from off his shoulders for them to protect their face with a hand/hands before his knee is there (which not every wrestler even does when they take the move, though some do).

A big part of it is Punk bringing his knee to a certain fixed point every time. He can't go too high with it or he puts it through their nose, too low and it looks terrible. They've probably wanted him to change his finish a lot of times, but he's a stubborn one. It might be the most unique finish in WWE, so I don't blame him for wanting to hold on to it. He seems to have found a decent balance between making it safe and making it look good, plus it's beaten a lot of people so the move is over now, regardless of how good it looks. |

His selling and his running-start Super Splash signature move is enough to make me a Big-E-liever. Big E's splash is ridiculous. He's so huge, but the sheer height he gets on that jump is amazing. He's really athletic really, kinda makes me regret all the jokes about him being symmetrical and looking boring. Also, I don't remember Punk busting Regal open, but I do remember Regal splitting Punk's head open during KoTR. And then they put a vid up of him getting his head stitched up without painkillers to sell the Straight Edge gimmick. And it was gross. |
