No matter where you stand on Rock/Punk I think we can all agree that the ref is wrong for this one:

Your Arms Too Short to Box with God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phrase first appeared in James Weldon Johnson's sermon "The Prodigal Son", which was published in his 1927 book of sermons, God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse.
The phrase has survived in modern culture and is sometimes used in other contexts. "Your lungs is too small to hotbox with God" is a line used by rapper Xzibit in Eminem's "bytch Please 2". Xzibit had used a variation of the line ("Your little lungs is too weak to hotbox with God") on "Down for the Count" by Reflection Eternal. The phrase also appears in the Black Star song "Thieves in the Night", in the line "Your firearms are too short to box with God". It is additionally the opening line of the Killah Priest hip-hop album Heavy Mental. The line also appears in "Drunk Daddy" by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies; "It's All Real" by Pitch Black; and "Mortal Combat" by Big Daddy Kane. Nas also used the line in his song "You're Da Man" from his 2001 album Stillmatic. GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan also used a variation ("Rhymes too short to box with God") on his track "Paper Plates" from Pro Tools.

Great promo by both, Rock brought the comedy and Punk brought the serious.

I was already buying this, but if anyone had any doubts this should erase them.

And can we skip the who won who lost shyt. we all won because this is the start of a great build.

That rock bottom was kinda sick and flabby too.

I have no doubt these two are gonna put on one of the best matches in a long time.

Punk is just too real. It's not that he's better than The Rock but he has freshness, innovation and depth on his side. The Rock came from the era of flashyness and catch phrases. It's two different styles that don't mesh well. The substance will always beat the catch phrases.

CM Punk's promo went way too long, shyt was damn near on Rakim status of coma inducing.

Rock needs to go Hollywood Era again, he cut his best promos during that time frame imo. The stuff he does these days just reeks of 2002, when he got over saturated and the fans turned on him.
