Rock vs. Cena is booked. Edge retires. Bret Hart wrestles on a giveaway Raw as his final match. Orton vs. Christian..... Then we get the Summer of Punk. Triple H vs. Kevin Nash. Punk gets buried. Then we in the end with this photo:

This was the year I started watching regularly again, thanks to Punk. Poor FAN's had to deal with me for almost 11 years now.

But WWE decided on other plans sadly... The Big Show knocking Cody the F*** out in no time and Sheamus and Bryan beating the shit out of each other would have been far better than Ryder vs Rhodes and Punk vs Bryan considering how underwhelming the matches between Punk and Bryan were.

I really liked Punk and Bryan's matches together, especially the Over the Limit one.

2011 also gave us monster heels Miz/R-Truth and Beth's "we're girls, we're scared."

Oh man, I'm just now remembering everyone here analyzing the Taker return videos like they were the Zapruder film.

That had to be a weird way for some people to find out about that.

Yeah didn’t Punk get to win the big one, at the company’s spiritual home with the greatest ring announcer of all time announcing him as champion? Which then sparked his over 1 year run with the belt until the Rock ended it at the 2013 Rumble?

Punk was NOT "buried" in the slightest. Punk's character was literally rewarded for whining about ice cream bars and he was turned face for it. That's a mega push.
2011 was a year when an already decorated superstar like Punk could complain his way to success.
Yes, I still f***ing hate the pipebomb. The pipebomb can go straight to hell.

I did see that "Nexus destroys the ring" stuff on Worldstar when it happened though. I was like "damn, Cena getting his ass kicked lol."

Punk became no.1 contender fair and square by winning a triple threat match, then pinned Cena at both MITB and SummerSlam before losing the title via briefcase cash-in after a sneak attack by Kevin Nash.
He definitely had the wins under his belt to deserve getting repeated world title matches.

Then we in the end with this photo: How the f*** was Punk buried? Because he wasn't the main event in every show, wasn't the main event in every pay-per-view, The Miz had the complete AUDACITY to main event Wrestlemania instead of him, wasn't getting plastered on every piece of merchandise, and didn't go over everybody in his path like Triple H.
Seriously, I swear every time he lost, there was a "CM Punk is being buried!!!" thread.

I thought Raw and Smackdown after Wrestlemania to around Summerslam was very entertaining, things fall off the wagon once Triple-H returns and becomes COO and shoehorns himself into the CM Punk storyline.
