B-...which is a fair improvement since 2004 (the last year I really liked the business). Much better than TNA right now is all I can say.

B+. I've been very happy with this year and the Nexus angle was one of the best in a long time in my opinion. Best year since 2000 honestly.

Personally, a B-. There was stuff I enjoyed, and stuff I hated, but the stuff I liked just BARELY edged out the negatives.

The WWE Title picture seems a little more interesting with Miz thrown into the mix with King Sheamus, John Morrison, Randy Orton. (B+)
Raw's better than it has been. Punk joining/leading the Nexus to wage another war on John Cena looks interesting. And where does Wade Barrett fit in all of this? (B)
Battle for the I-C title is VERY intriguing, especially with Ric FlairDolph Ziggler stealing wins here and there over Kofi Kingston & Jack Swagger. Kofi SHOULD use this as a springboard to Main Event status, with Ziggles not far behind. (A+)
World Heavyweight Title kinda stale, SmackDown seems pretty weak right now, save for Drew McIntyre & the previously mentioned I-C title picture. (C-)
I can't even NAME the tag champions off of the top of my head. (F)
Daniel Bryan, nice he's US champ, but doesn't have a lot to defend against. (C+)
I like the Melina "heel turn", it was needed. I love Natalya as champion, though I'm anxiously awaiting the chance we'll see her and Beth lock up soon. (WrestleMania, PLEASE! With Nattie as a heel. It can work.) (B+)
I'll give them a B. Not bad and tolerable, but can be better. Give some of these guys with really nothing to do (Yoshi Tatsu, maybe team him with Evan Bourne when he comes back) or floundering (Ted Jr. & Mark Henry, I'm looking at you) and make some tag-teams. Merge the I-C and US titles into one.

B- I've mostly enjoyed it but what drags the WWE down is that when they have a good angle they somehow find a way to drop the ball.
Like the Straight Edge Society where they decided to have them become Rey's whipping boys and the Nexus angle which went rapidly downhill when Cena no-sold been fired.
I guess I should also mention Kane here who, after been made to look like a complete threat in his feud with 'Taker was then made to look like a complete pussy in the feud with Edge.
If it wasn't for creative messing things up, this year could easily have been an A rated year since there's been some great matches and good feuds.

B-. They've worked very hard this year in trying to make new stars in the absence of a lot of their big names (retirements of HBK and Batista, injuries to HHH and Taker), while the midcard looks unbelievably good, if not somewhat lacking a fixed direction. Even the Divas division is looking healthy now that they've merged the belts and are focusing on the better wrestlers.
That said, the tag division is flatlining, and it depresses me. Either build up some teams or drop the belts completely. Also, a lot of feuds have had excellent starts (Nexus v Cena, Mysterio v Punk/SES) but petered out due to rushing the angle unnecessarily and/or making them too one-sided.

C. Six months ago, it woulda been an A, as the initial Nexus stuff was the most interested I've been in awhile; but they've bogeyed that up so badly most of my excitement is gone; not enough to lower the overall grade to below average, but certainly not anything good. Also factor in that Smackdown isn't bad, it's just tedious, and you get a C.

I give it a B +. It was nice to see a lot of fresh faces around, instead of the same HHH, HBK, Taker feuds we've seen for years.

A-
There was definitely more good than bad this year. Remember this year was supposed to re-ignite the Monday Night Wars era? Wasn't there some other company who thought they could compete with WWE? What happened there? WWE proved they still have plenty of tricks in the bag by bringing Bret Hart back. The biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania, was surely a huge success with plenty of great matches. The "machine" that is WWE is as strong as ever. Creatively, this was their best year yet in the "PG era."
I can't give them a straight A or A+ just for a few minor things like the problems they've had with the Smackdown roster, and the (final?) death of ECW still stings just a little. Fortunately, ECW was replaced by my newest favorite show, NXT which has helped fuel the latest youth movement which easily can be considered a success.

Again, I've only started watching this year so I have nothing to compare this year to, but there have been points where Creative really irked me (see: Straight Edge Society going downhill, McIntyre going from the Chosen One to whatever random thing they're doing with him now, and Cena's "firing") and my favourite wrestler (Serena) and another one that I adored (Luke Gallows) got fired, and times where Creative really made me happy (Miz FINALLY getting the belt and Punk joining Nexus).
So, yeah. Givin' it a B.

For the record, WWE Superstars persuaded a lot of my grades. For my money, its the best wrestling show on television right now.

I gave them a B+.
RAW I give an A, Smackdown a B-, and NXT a C+. This is also one of the first years I can remember in a LONG time that I thought RAW was more engaging than Smackdown.

I gave them an "A". They lost a ton of main eventers, went through a lackluster "PG" phase, had a bunch of stupid gimmick PPVs, and threw a bunch of new names into the mainstream. Business is probably down but the future looks good. TNA people like to talk about their roster being "the most talented" or whatever, but it isn't true. WWE has Ziggler, Bryan, Kofi, Swagger, Sheamus, Bourne, Del Rio, Cody, Kidd, Morrison, Punk, and Barrett. And that's not even taking into account Cena, Orton, Rey, Taker, Edge, Tripper, etc. They've laid a groundwork that should sustain them, at least. PG "phase"? Isn't that pretty much still going on? PG Phase? You people really get this wrong. The Attitude, and Post War Era's were a TV-14 phase. And I give them an A-
