Best/Worst of 2012 Wrasslin.
So with one PPV to go, we're winding down another year of WWE.
So what were your highlights and the worst moments of the year? Best moment - The Bryan, Punk, Kane, AJ storyline...most entertainment by far. And Rock beating Cena at WM28. Worst moment...Bryan getting beat in 18 secs at Wrestlemania. |

I dunno if they're "the best" but some good stuff that I remember:
-Taker/HHH Hell in a Cell -Pretty much the entire Raw after Wrestlemania -Pretty much the entire Extreme Rules PPV -Austin Aries winning the TNA title -James Storm/Bobby Roode @ Bound For Glory |

1000th Raw was pretty epic. That was one of the best show of the year right up there with Mania and Raw after Mania.
Although it turned out well the whole Jerry Lawler Heart Attack show was awful. The silence. Not knowing what all actually happened at the time. Scary stuff and will go with that for the worst. |

I wanted to add the Heart Attack thing in mine, but I feel that it's a real life condition, and something that (at least to MY knowledge) hasn't happened before on live tv. So, there really isn't a bad part to that, it just happened and we all witnessed it live (or shortly thereafter on DVR online etc.etc.)

Everyone is forgetting. 365 days of CM Punk as WWE Champion. BEST IN THE WORLD!
and I'll concur with the fellow who said Daniel Bryan's Wrestlemania loss was the worst moment of the year. |

I have a terrible memory, but...
Best: CM Punk's reign, feud with Daniel Bryan (featuring Kane and AJ) Sheamus and Daniel Bryan 2/3 Falls match at some PPV after Mania Team Hell No & "Resurgence" of the tag division Briefly seeing Chris Jericho as a Face again Briefly seeing Christian with a title belt Worst: Alberto Del Rio. I have had zero interest in him in 2012. From a feud that went way too long with Sheamus, to another feud that has gone on too long with Randy Orton. Both in which he was essentially there to be a jobber. Daniel Bryan losing in 18 seconds at Mania. I mean, what came from it was fantastic, but "in the moment" it was terrible. It was a terribly built match with zero heat, and the Mania match was essentially used to build some actual heat for their next match at a lesser PPV. Which was fantastic. Would have been better if they could have built that heat, and had the fantastic match at Mania. CM Punk's heel turn. I am still not a fan. He was something really unique and fresh as a face, and was quickly becoming "legit". Now he is a generic heel that will probably find himself right back in the spot and position on the card he was before his "big break" after he finally loses the title. |

Best- Punk, Sandow, Ziggler, return of tag team wrestling, 3MB, and seeing Sycho Sid return. Also, the exodus of the Bella's and Kelly Kelly.
Worst- AJ post-1,000 RAW, Cena hamming it up, Santino, Sin Cara. |

Basically, ANYTHING involving CM Punk, Daniel Bryan or Chris Jericho has been incredible.
The Raw after Wrestlemania was also a highlight of the year, and although the PPV's have had some good moments, this Raw was probably the best, or at least, the most entertaining show of the year. |

No it didn't. There has been more than one stretch this year where TNA was putting on better shows than WWE.
This has been one of TNA's best years. But yeah, let's just blindy shit on a show we don't watch because that's what everybody else is doing. Me too guys! Me too! |

I'd say Daniel Bryan before Wrestlemania was pretty bad. Couldn't buy him as champ and he was just really really bland. Ever since the Raw following WM though he's gradually become much more fun, and his stuff with Kane has been one of the more entertaining things in WWE in a while. Losing the belt in 18 seconds was the best thing that happened to him. I don't really want to see him pushed higher than upper card level again though.

Yeah, despite people's desire to shit on everything Gertner says because of the way he says it, he was right about Bryan. The guy was out of place as champion. I didn't buy it.
Let him do stuff like he's doing now and put on stellar upper-midcard matches while the more credible guys take care of the main event scene and the guy can be a HUGELY vital part of the company. He's money. Just not as "the man". |

Even though it's tough to watch now knowing that dirty ref is just standing there watching... waiting to make an impact.
