Can a man survive a crown of thorns? (yes)
3 days without water? (yes)
Being nailed to the cross (yes – see Josephus, Meiji Japan and countless modern examples)
Being pierced in the side (yes – see contemporary skeletons of gladiators or a trip to a modern A&E award)
Being pronounced dead (yes – compare our understanding of what it means to be ‘dead’ which in itself is not 100% accurate with the understanding of the ancient world re comas, the Glasgow Scale etc)
Being in a cold tomb? (yes – ideal conditions in fact for resuscitation)

You forgot the flogging, but let's assume he can survive that as well. Now the money issue isn't just survival, but escape as well. Your "ressurection" examples both involve people who have relatively easy ways to get out via lifting a coffin lid or getting off a morgue bed. In Jesus's case it wouldn't be nearly as simple. Even if we say he miraculously didn't die, what makes you think he could move a boulder out of his way, sneak past some Roman guards and then survive 40 days walking around without medical attention despite many many open wounds?
