It's even better when you consider the fact that this is the same match where John Cena busted out a Frankensteiner. and a gutwrench bomb.

It was cheap.
Considering all the steps wrestling (and especially WWE) has taken to help protect the performers I think it's pretty stupid to have two of your main eventers do something that's legit banned for being dangerous. It's like the chairshot to the head from AJ vs Bully Ray this year. Matches don't get better for me if one of the performers become genuinely injured, I just suddenly remember that these idiots are absorbing real pain for a fake fight.

I've heard many wrestlers make statements like "I'd rather take a piledriver from someone safe than a hiptoss from someone sloppy". The danger is in the performers, not the move. Punk and Cena are good wrestlers and they clearly trusted one another with the move. If the piledriver was truly unsafe, every wrestler from the 1980's and 1990's would have retired with broken necks.

If there is never a Cena/Punk Wrestlemania match, then the WWE would've officially let a golden opportunity slip through their fingers. Quite honestly, Punk should've carried the title all the way to Mania and drop it to Cena there.

Lord knows what would've happened if Punk dropped to Cena at Wrestlemania...

This post reminded me of the classic Lance Storm quote: "I'd let Hulk Hogan punch my two year old in the face", which is one of my favorite wrestling quotes ever and also illustrates the performer vs move safety aspect.

Lord knows what would've happened if Punk dropped to Cena at Wrestlemania... People would complain about Cena winning like they do every other time and then move on with their lives. The way Punk's reign was being built up, that was the way it should have ended. Punk's rise came at the "expense" of Cena so it would have been karmic justice that Cena was the one to bring his historic reign to the end on the grandest stage of them all.

I honestly don't understand this post. Nobody get injured. What's your point?

Plus Cole was great when it happened. Yeah I was gonna say, like JR's most memorable moments, Cole screaming "PILEDRIVER!!! !" is the part I remember most. It completely broke his brain as a commentator and fan.
