The Referee Botches Pin For CM Punk - WWE Raw 1/9/12 (HQ) Fail

[iTzFuZi0Ns]

Notice how Punk went for the Vise after Swagger lifted his shoulder so this was likely a botched ending.

[X3n0cBG]

It wasnt the ref,it was Swagger...

[WWEvideoFANATIC]

i challenge the play

thts gnna cost u a timeout

rlly the ruling in the ring STANDS!!!

[IMPACTwrestling100]

that was a pretty shit elbow

[TheOfficialiKON]

I think 'botches' like this make it more interesting.

[TheWOlogist]

Fucking idiots. This was not a botch, the world is getting dumber by the fucking day.

[SuperMoss15]

@TheWOlogist Yeah. Even though you can clearly hear the ref apologize. The match was supposed to end by submission but the ref accidental made a three count.  If anybody's an idiot it's you.

[SuperMoss15]

@SuperMoss15 *accidentally

[TheWOlogist]

@SuperMoss15 WWE ref's arnt fucking stupid, they know the wrestlers finishers, and this was to give swagger the United States title match idiot

[SuperMoss15]

@TheWOlogist How many matches have you seen CM Punk win in WWE using the elbow drop. He usually does the elbow drop, gets a two count, then does his finisher. This match wasn't suppose to end with the elbow drop, just like how most of his matches don't end with one. It was obviously supposed to end with Swagger tapping out to the Anaconda Vice, which Punk clearly tries use after the three count.

[TheWOlogist]

@SuperMoss15 Im not trying to say the elbow drop is his finisher, im trying to say that the match was suppose to end controversial like it did in the video.

[HaveApascalSwirl]

@TheWOlogist I think you're the one getting dumber by the day :p Can't you see punk putting in Swagger in the anaconda vice after the pin? Ref botched :p

[chipsamy]

This should make a great "storyline" between Punk and Swagger...maybe after Wrestlemania

[CrashBandicootJames]

Why did they do this?

[RawCrepz]

why didnt the swagger be closer to the ropes and the ref not see his foot under the rope, so much easier

[JJBoiComedy]

WWE,Com Exclusive: Referee Released...

[VenomofReaper97]

@JJBoiComedy Really?

[JJBoiComedy]

@VenomofReaper97 lmaoo. joking

[HaveApascalSwirl]

Looks like a botch to me, I don't think Vickie would be laughing at Swagger getting pinned :p

[dnt5363]

cm punk got luck!! even though he says luck for loser.. lol..

[Hero7850]

Fire that jackass, lol.

[pauli4975]

The entire show was a FAIL. Except for Edges HOF.

[pauli4975]

Cole didnt even know what happened... Did he get him??? That was brutal. Very akward finish. It was definitely botched by the Ref or Swagger

[gunslinger18181]

Not much happens on WWE without reason, I would bet that the falling out of the ring, which I missed, and the failed count, giving CM Punk the Victory, was all part of a bigger story

[ThatOnlyExperience]

i can do much better than the referee

[JayfuzOMarley]

punk looked pissed

[BadManFann]

the script to this match was not given to the referee....

[BadManFann]

thaagh.... first the referee nearly falls out of the ring.... then he counted 1..2..1 *ding ding ding* and now he gives CM Punk the victory.... next week he will ring the bell because CM Punk willl knock Jack Swagger onto the floor :L

[NickyBoje]

Notice the ref takes his earpeice out straight after the pin, no doubt permanantly defened by Vincent Kennedy McMahon's seething volcanic screams of fury

[BadManFann]

Thumbs Up is u saw this! on T.V and hoped someone had put this one

[xCCCPCLANx]

You can see how Punk tried to do the Anaconda vice after the pin.

[TheSubHerbz]

The all American American screwjob

[SoudOrNot]

C-O-NSPIRACY!

[2xtwistedxHavoc]

lol if you realize punk was about to do the anaconda at :38

[Dany9823]

yeah it was scripted

[TEDGY01]

But anyway atleast he made good tribute to a good legend:Randy Savage

[1111marshmelo]

Randy orton: STUPID STUPID STUPID

[619wwebmw02]

Someone copied your video at  /watch?v=T7WyrMdVE9k&feature=r­elated

[recaked]

Vince to the Ref..."You're FIRRRRRRRRRRED!" >-|

[MegaSteve50]

its all scripted, john laurinitis will most likely review the tape and reverse the call

[DarylDrail]

@WWEGalaxyHD

ahahah another fail cant wait for nxt weeks!!

[josephdawg]

LOOK AT VICKIE GUERRERO FACE AWAHAHAHAHAW

[alexisafox]

This is kinda similar to what happened with dibiase and Daniel Bryan when the ref fucked up.

[flightsnhike226]

@alexisafox very true

[TheEbhagzzz]

Its a storyline to give Laurenitis a reason to be special ref at royal rumble. No botch

[george2648]

its a angle that makes it sure sure laurinitis will be ref for the match

[PureDynamiteKid]

MINUS 5 STARS!

[KeitaroWolf]

I don't think it's a botch. They even replied it in slow motion, which means that this was all planned. I bet laurinaitis will say that Vicki and Swagger are not banned from ringside because Punk didn't get a clean win and it was the ref mistake. All storyline.

[CMPunkMassaroSVR]

@KeitaroWolf Wrong. if it were true, the referee wonldn't of said 'fcuked up, sorry' and Punk wouldn't of gone for the Anaconda Vice after the elbow.

[tarikjames13]

I think this was on purpose, that the refs have not been seeing things happen in cm punk matches and john making himself the special ref for his match at the royal rumble.

[ChristianPeep97]

It's obvious...Johnny ace said if he wins fairly than Vickie is band from ring side...punk didn't win fairly

[TheGrix2112]

CM Punk acted unprofessional? Lets just be thankful it wasn't Orton...

[supermurus]

You think that's unprofessional by Punk? You obviously never saw HBK in the 90's

[nickshugah]

Jack kicked out cause that wasn't suppost to be the end of the match. He was gettin ready to put him in the anaconda vice after. Refs mistake.

[Thewindyfan]

It was jack's fault to why the fuck he kick out?

[PizzaDinosaur]

Live television, folks

[Dannomack]

Punk acted completely unprofessional

[fsbfsbfsbfsbfsbfsb]

@Dannomack Not really. The ref blowing that spot made both Swagger and Punk look bad. Had Punk just gotten to his feet all giddy over getting a tainted win, it would've made him look worse.

[TheZarquish]

You can hear the referee sayin' at 0:16 while raising Punk's hand - Fucked Up Sorry :b

[datlibra17]

yeah they can easily turn this into a positive thing... they're gonna get Vickie to complain about how Swagger didn't really get pinned for 3... probably jump Punk backstage a few times... etc...

[MADCARNAGE]

poor Swagg

[alekjensen]

that was redicilous cm punk was going to win with the anaconda vise and u can see hes angry at the ref, and i cant blame him

[jaznpwnz]

Next week, Johnny Ace will use this as an example showing that he won't make mistakes as the ref at RR.

[gamesyousef]

Botchamania !!!

[JRSanchez93]

This can actually work out to be a positive thing.

[BEASTALMIGHTY88]

At 0.16 the ref says to punk "fucked up sorry" when raising his hand in victory.

[filthiestfish]

@BEASTALMIGHTY88 They should just go along with the botched finish and give Swagger a rematch against CM Punk which Punk will win again

[simzie123]

@BEASTALMIGHTY88 Yeah, you can just about hear it.

[Reychelo79]

@BEASTALMIGHTY88 i caught the sorry part, i couldn't make up the rest. thnx

[amen901]

3 referee fails in a row, what a classic. before last week the referee falls of the ring, last week the referee counts 1.2.1 and now this...

[WWEGalaxyHQ]

@amen901 Yeah 3 weeks in a row!!!

2 weeks ago: referee accidentally slipped out of the ring

last week a referee fails at counting

this week the referee counts 1.2.1

what's in store for week??

[Ant1Live]

@amen901 My God, the internet is full of dumb people. I watched the supposed 1,2,1 video a dozen times and I can't even force myself to hear "1... 2... 1" He most certainly said THREE, but he said it with a grunt. A grunt, people. Listen again, whoever posted the video with the 1,2,1, title is either hearing impaired or a moron.

[dnt5363]

@Ant1Live i hear the referee counts 1.2.1 or 1.2.won.. i dont hear the referee counts 1.2.3.. ==" i think you the one who dumb!!!

[superdowg316Videos]

LMFAO!!!!!

[BrownSugar977]

i think it was on purpose cause they kept playing it over and over

[WWEGalaxyHQ]

@BrownSugar977 It was an mistake because you can see CM Punk getting ready for an "Anaconda Vice" after the kickout,showing that this match was suppose to end by submission.

[TheJojoso]

@WWEGalaxyHQ THIS IS A CONSPIRACY

[Darkassassin928]

@TheJojoso can i have an explanation?

[CobaltKris]

@BrownSugar977 They kept replaying it to fill time that was allocated for the match.

[iiZeeBo]

@BrownSugar977 @WWEGalaxyHQ and Punk's music would've played right after.

[michAELBOLDEN98]

@iiZeeBo u now they have like a ten minute delay right but they are going to use it in the story
