10 Amazing Wrestling Feuds Overshadowed By ONE Moment

A moment so magnificent, important, and iconic, whatever followed it simply had no chance of being anywhere near as memorable or replayed.

CM Punk's cross-legged rant against WWE whilst donning a 'Stone Cold' top on June 27, 2011's edition of Raw felt like someone had just blasted a decade's worth of much-needed electricity into the sports entertainment landscape.

And it was unquestionably the moment that transformed Phil Brooks from cult hero to undeniable megastar.

However, the unfortunate side effect of this particular pipebomb being dropped in the lead-up to a wonderful Money in the Bank WWE Championship main event against John Cena is the fact that the rest of the other great work that went down before that PPV is often forgotten when looking back on Punk's real breakout moment.

The megaphone-boasting "do I have everyone's attention now?" eventual follow-up to that initial outburst, and his equally mesmerising contract negotiation with his creepy old boss in the middle of the squared-circle that same night, felt just as unpredictable and exciting as the moment Punk's "skinny fat ass" hit the ramp a few week's earlier.

And those fascinating but often overlooked promo sequels to the explosive first hit doubtlessly helped make his attempts to walk out of the company with Vince McMahon's top prize a truly unmissable event.
