Talk about it here.

First of all, Punk having The Fink as his personal ring announcer for the match ruled. The match itself is overall very good, but it also had a pretty dry and dull middle-section w/ Del Rio on top. He just didn't grab me at all with his work, and it sounded like the crowd would agree with me, because they went pretty dead for that section of the match. I definitely can appreciate the fact that he went after the arm though -- even if his work over it was EXTREMELY basic & uninteresting, it's always nice to see stuff that makes sense, ya know. What helped that tremendously was the fact that Punk's selling was absolute top class. Made it feel so much more important & better than it was. Things thankfully also really picked up after Del Rio's heat segment is done, and the last third of the match is legitimately pretty great. I'd say that the thing had a good start, dull middle, and then a great last third to cap it off. ***1/2
