Admittedly I was not a fan of the one more match Christian character. It dragged on for way too long even if he had great matches during it. It didn't help that I've never really enjoyed Orton at all I think.

It didn't help that I've never really enjoyed Orton at all I think. For me it was vice-versa, that feud was the only time I cared about Christian. These two had some awesome matches and told a great story. Star-jumping, fighting Heavyweight Champ Orton is a very underrated part of 2011. Other than that, I miss Cody Von Doom. Poor Cody never bounced back from dropping that gimmick.

Disfigured Cody Rhodes.
I don't care about Punk anymore and I don't care about R-Truth's crazy self anymore.

Demented Cody because it looked like he was rising through the ranks and was going to be somewhere in the main event upper card by mid 2012.
But then he was back tagging. Not that it was bad or anything just I wanted Cody doing something that made him a fixture in that position he was really entertaining at the time. Stardust is alright but not what I want.
2011 CM Punk was entertaining but by Extreme Rules 2012 he was becoming annoying and boring. Punk was better when he had a character/gimmick to work with like SES.
The characters of 2011-2013 were so much better than what we have now.

Undashing Cody Rhodes was FANTASTIC.

Hall of Pain Mark Henry was one of the scariest heels of all-time.
He was just a badass monster. It was so good.

Just want to throw out, Summer 2011 was the one brief time Kevin Dunn wasn't directing Raw. This was when Ranjin Singh was in charge of the show, which explains why visually there were so many changes into what people thought would be the "reality era." Things like the camera picking up comments from wrestlers on the ramp after matches without microphones or interviewers, making it seem more real. Or things like how the camera would frame Henry eclipsing the ring.
What a special time to be a fan.

Now I'm really interested. I had no idea Ranjin was so talented.

I loved Crazy R-Truth but I had to give my vote to Mark Henry. Nobody could have predicted at the start of 2011 that he would win the World Heavyweight Championship. He was the main reason why I watched Smackdown that year. "IF I START CHARGING FOR AIR, YALL BETTER KEEP YOUR BILL PAID!"
