Instead the punchline just never came. Even when Punk came out, you could feel the arena tense up as people were expecting MJF to cheap shot him or something. So to have Punk just sell it like everyone else, conflicted by what he just heard made for a cool effect.
I appreciated the shades of grey approach. Maybe being there live made it feel even better because you could cut the tenseness with a knife as people were waiting for the punchline that never came.

Your live experience seems to be very different than what a lot of us had on TV but that doesn't devalue your opinion to me. MJF is easily the best young promo in the business for me that work was a far cry from his norm, or his best but it was a risk and something different. Just didn't work for me.
