That was a good little match. The crowd was into, it was smartly worked , Val sold the leg being worked on throughout the match, fuckin COACH even did a decent job of putting Punk over on commentary. I loved Venis' 10 clotheslines in the corner.
It's a shame Val will never be used correctly.
And Credible working at Target and screaming at the fans as he drove by about it fucking awesome.
The only thing I didn't like about that match was the finish. Val got very little offense in for the STO-type slam to really have had that much effect (the gutwrench powerbomb earlier should have kept him down longer than that). Even if you add in the powerbomb and the STO, there was too much in between them (and most of it was Punk on the offensive and hardly looking weathered).
Had they even given an extra minute or so to Val's comeback and lead into the STO after a rope running segment or something, then it might have looked better. CM Punk flapping on the mat didn't help either, but that's fairly normal when the finish is of the top rope variety.
