One Tweak: Don't do the Savage Elbow Drop.

Bit cheeky this, because Punk looked f*cking fantastic in the retro Randy Savage threads just days after the Macho Man's tragic passing. It was as loving a tribute as anybody with such a platform was able to illustrate, full of charm, grace and organic beauty. All things that don't remotely relate to Punk's take on Savage's iconic flying elbow drop.

Not to drag down a wonderful gesture that was otherwise immaculately executed, but this g*ddamn elbow was ugly enough to almost undermine the gear - had Punk been dressed as Jerry Sags from The Nasty Boys, his impression would have been spot on.
