WWE Royal Rumble 2013: The Rock ends CM Punk’s reign WWE Champion

The 2013 Royal Rumble is in the books, and it was a momentous night capped off with the end of CM Punk’s 400-plus-day reign as WWE Champion. The Rock managed to capture the title after a grueling main event that was restarted due to interference. It is the eighth WWE title reign for The Rock and his first in over 10 years.

In the opening match of the Royal Rumble, Alberto Del Rio gave the Big Show a low blow. The Big Show reacted in a TOTALLY NORMAL WAY. Pretty much the same way that everyone reacts, right? Take a look:

Yep that’s pretty much how EVERYONE IN THE WORLD reacts to getting hit directly in the genitals. Maybe it’s different when you’re seven feet tall and weigh 500 pounds? Probably! Maybe it takes a long time to process “OW MY GONADS.” That’s probably why he bent over slightly and wobbled imperceptibly like he’d just jogged up an unexpectedly tricky flight of stairs. He’s not even grabbing the afflicted area!

Here we have a Canadian legend providing inspiration to south-of-the-border great Alberto Del Rio, and the NAFTA pro wrestling connection is as alive and kicking as ever.
