10 More Wrestling Matches Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
4. CM Punk Works A Raw Gem Despite Having The Flu - Raw, 2015
Coming around the same moment in time as John Cena's bout of sickness coming into 'Mania 29, here's that moment when CM Punk showed The Face that Runs the Place that it is actually possible to tear the house down whilst your insides are doing the very same thing.
In arguably the best of their many bona fide classics together, Punk was in no mood to sit back and watch somebody else worm their way towards the top of the card as The Show of Shows drew near. So, instead of taking a night off to recharge his batteries and overcome a debilitating bout of flu, The Voice of the Voiceless decided to work through his illness on February 23's edition of Raw in 2013.
And the results seemed to immortalise themselves almost immediately. Along with whacking out an extremely rare piledriver mid-match, the bitter enemies were able to produce a Match of the Year contender as Cena earned the right to battle The Rock on The Grandest Stage.
The fact Punk held up his side of the bargain whilst feeling like his head was being put through a cheese-grater only adds more lustre to the classic.
