So last night I rewatched the epic Punk vs Cena MITB 2011 match.
In this match Punk kicks out of 2 Fu's/AA's (whatever you want to call it)
However Punk gets jobbed to the people's elbow.
This is why there's so much frustration over Rock beating Punk. It makes Rock look so much more overpowered than Cena, which says a lot
You honestly think that continuity of RESILIENCE, of all things, should be carried into future matches? C'mon, man. It's not that big of a deal when you think about it. As long as Punk didn't completely get thrashed and came out strong, why should it matter?
At least it wasn't to Rock's crappy definition of the Sharpshooter. :rolleyes:
It would make things a lot more realistic.Quote:

Kayfabe: Punk faced Cena in peak condition with a baying home crowd cheering him on. Then he faced The Rock having had knee surgery and returning to a full time schedule 3 weeks later that is why he fell to the people's elbow. It's the same reason footballers miss penalties, quarterbacks thrown interceptions and golfers miss a putt. Even the pros get tired or have an off day.
Reality: They planned the finish with the people's elbow because "While a lot of fans criticized the decision to have Rock pin Punk after hitting The People's Elbow, the idea behind it is that Punk "doesn't care about the people," so he was ironically beaten with that finisher." - The Wrestling Observer and pretty much every dirt sheet too.
