Piledriver!!! CM Punk vs John Cena (WWE Raw Feb 25 2013 Edition)

The match between John Cena and CM Punk in the main event of Raw last Feb 25, 2013 is definitely one of the best matches of the year. And here's one reason why.....
CM Punk about to deliver the piledriver to John Cena. (And ref Mike Chioda's face was priceless!!!)

Don't get me wrong. I just highlighted it because it is one of those moves that I -- and I guess many people as well -- am not expecting to see.  Just from a nostalgic point of view, it's one of the definite highlights of the match. And the huge pop from the feverish Dallas crowd just shows how everyone loved the banned move performed at this day and age. :)

Great match, with a good 20 minutes or so, lots of classic mat wrestling, fewer rest holds, submission holds and magnificent counters, no one-move finishers, and many out-of-the-box surprise moves like the piledriver and hurricanrana; it's very rare that we see John Cena uses moves outside of the Five Moves of Doom; but Hurricanrana?!? Where have you ever seen a big guy do that to a much smaller wrestler. It's a bit... clunky though, due to their size difference I think.

And it's not PPV. It's free TV!!! It's on Raw!!! Dallas fans sure had fun that night. :) But let's hear it one more time:
<Punk sets up Cena for the piledriver>
King: Oh no!
Cole: No no no! He's not gonna go for...
<BAM!!!>
Crowd: OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Cole: OH MY G*D!!! 
King: A piledriver! 
Cole: OH MY G*D A PILEDRIVER TO CENA! A PILEDRIVER to Cena! Cena's out!! Cena kicks out!!!
Hahahaha :)
