TJR: WWE Summerslam's 25 Greatest Matches (15-11)

1. The Infamous "Shoot" Promo on Raw in Las Vegas: 06/27/11

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

Who can forget the moment when Punk sat at the top of the ramp at the end of Raw while wearing a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt and holding a microphone in his hand? Let's relive that speech that brought the term "pipe bomb" to the forefront during...

2. Beating John Cena for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank: 07/17/11

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

I wrote about this live in July 2011 so let's go to the play by play recap followed by my analysis. Match Details: There's an early "You Can't Wrestle" chant in the direction of Cena. Punk goes for the Anaconda Vice. Cena counters into an armbar...

3. The Heel Turn and Feud with Jeff Hardy in 2009

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

The second time that CM Punk won the World Heavyweight Championship came at the hands of the very popular Jeff Hardy. It was the start of a three month feud that, in my opinion, was the best story in WWE in 2009. For the first time in his WWE...

4. Cashing in Money in the Bank the first time - 06/30/08

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

When somebody wins the Money in the Bank briefcase it's usually a question of when they cash it in, not "if" they cash it in. Aside from John Cena earlier this year, every person holding a Money in the Bank briefcase has managed to cash it in to...

7. Promo Against Rey Mysterio's Family: 03/12/10

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

There are so many Straight Edge Society moments I could pick, but this one was the best of them all in my opinion. Rey Mysterio was in the ring with his wife, son and daughter as they were celebrating the birthday of Mysterio's daughter Aaliyah....

9. Defeating John Morrison for the ECW Championship: 09/04/07

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

They say you always remember your first, right? In the case of CM Punk, his first taste of championship gold in WWE was when he won the ECW Title by defeating his rival John Morrison. It was billed as a "Last Chance" Championship match, which...

10. Defeating Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Title at Survivor Series - 11/20/11

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 09/13/2012

This was more of a "big moment" thing than it was about the match itself. I wrote about the New York City PPV live, though, so let's share that play by play followed by some analysis. Match Details: There is a big match feel for this match. I love...

Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena Will Be a Wild Brawl

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 04/20/2012

"I'm not a superstar. I'm an ass kicker. I am Brock Lesnar. That's it." Those are the words that Lesnar said at the start of the video package that aired on this past Monday's Raw. Simple yet effective. That's what Lesnar should be. This...

CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho is a blood feud without the blood

Punkjerichoextremerules

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 04/20/2012

Prior to their WWE Title Match at WrestleMania 28, Chris Jericho said it was a goal of his to take CM Punk's WWE Title and also cause him to drink alcohol for the first time. He would then be known as "CM Drunk" apparently. Since then,...

The Chicago Crowd Will Be Loud

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 04/20/2012

Over the years I've made the claim that the three best North American cities for WWE shows are Chicago, New York City and Toronto. Since Toronto has been blacklisted from PPVs for reasons I don’t know (last one was Unforgiven 2006) and New...

Gimmick matches are usually fun

Extreme rules 2011 christian champion

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 04/20/2012

Extreme Rules basically means matches with stipulations, which makes it unique and creative. To this point, we don't know that many of the matches, but they'll likely be announced on Monday during the three hour Raw. I always find it odd when WWE...

Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan will go longer than 18 seconds

By John Canton @ NFL Pope 04/20/2012

Remember the booing at WrestleMania when Sheamus won the World Title over Daniel Bryan in just 18 seconds? I was there. I booed. I was miserable for the next half hour because of it. So were the people around me. It's not because we thought Bryan...
