Daffney is an old as fuck ugly goth.

Also GOAT crowd in 2011. Apart from the Punk chants.

CM Punks title run was a bigger atrocity than Bruiser Brody's murder.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

RIP Brody.

Money in the Bank 2011 was a solid show all around. Punk didn't have too many classics durin' this title run as you'd expect but I won't say anything bad about Cena/Punk.

 

[Deezy]

Only thing memorable about that 2011 Punk reign was him getting completely owned by Nash and not getting any retribution.

Was he even champion then? I know between him winning at MITB and him winning at Survivor Series that belt was changing hands every other week between him, Cena and Del Rio. Shit was terrible.

Cost him the belt at Summerslam.....got verbally bitchslapped by Nash on Raw "take a shower, hit the weights and get a clue" then powerbombed 2 more times and CM Punk did nothing but one kick and called him "Super Shredder and Vinnie Vegas" like that was another "pipebomb"
