[2011-09-18-WWE-Night of Champions] CM Punk vs Triple H

[ShittyLittleBoots]

Prior to this, I actually hadn't watched this match since it happened in 2011, and I am VERY surprised at how great this thing actually was. They showcase their pure disdain of one another brilliantly right from the get go as Punk jumps HHH during his entrance, and from then on, it's just a pure fight all over the place w/ nothing cute or lame about it. It's just them going at it, and I think what surprised me the most was that there wasn't any dead, dull moments in the thing -- in almost every lengthier WWE No DQ main event match like this, it feels like they could be trimmed quite a bit, but here Punk & Trips filled every second they got greatly. You can just feel the bitterness they feel for one another, and it's awesome. I actually also really enjoy all the shenanigans, starting from the Awesome Truth run-in -- they work in the context of the storylines going at the time, and I enjoy the super chaotic feel of it all. Kinda reminds me of Foley vs. Austin in that sense. Now the result is what it is -- it's what the match is mostly known for, and it sure is the wrong result in every way imaginable, but the actual match is pretty damn great in my eyes. ****
