Some PPV finishes are far worse in hindsight than they were at the time. The finale of SummerSlam 2011 featured Alberto Del Rio cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk - the champ heavily weakened by a match with John Cena and a run-in from Kevin Nash, of all people. The finish was pretty poor, especially on the tails of a needlessly controversial finish in which Cena stuck a limb under the bottom rope to cast doubt on Punk's raucously received victory. However, this moment is now seen as the moment in which the Summer of Punk lost momentum. Up until then, the Straight Edge Superstar's meteoric rise to the very top of the wrestling world seemed a beacon of change - a new exciting era of wrestling was upon us. The bizarre image of Kevin Nash shuffling through the crowd and into the ring quickly dashed those hopes, as he not only helped end Punk's title reign, but dragged the Best In The World from the top of the card into a frustrating feud with himself and Triple H. It's frustrating to think what the wrestling landscape could look like nowadays, had WWE stuck to the formula which made Money in the Bank 2011 such a monumental PPV. Instead, by refusing to place too much faith in the newer generation of stars, they set themselves back a good number of years - and brought Kevin Nash back to our television screens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P83RtRxBjsM
