Create Your Own Top 10 of 2006

[BRV]

With WWE.com's Top 10 Moments of 2006 countdown, I've been inspired to see what people actually think were the top ten moments in the WWE this past year. Because I have a hunch that what the WWE says were the top 10, and what WrestleCrappers say are the top 10 will be slightly different. Call me crazy.

Anyway, the criteria for the top 10 is how it affected you personally, not how it affected WWE as a company or the wrestling industry as a business. That said, have at it, fellow 'Crappers.

10. Trish Retires - Thank F***k
9. JBL the Commentator - Great he's done so far
8. Angle to TNA - a shocker
7. Kevin Thorn & Ariel - I like these two
6. WWECW - I actually like it
5. Cena at ONS II - played his part beautifully
4. Booker as Champ - Finally got the respect he was due
3. Cena vs Edge - TLC
2. Edge vs Foley - Awsome match at WM 22
1. Edge cashes in his Money in the bank

To be Honest 2006 has been short of great moments/things

[akkountent]

1. ECW re-birth...after ONS II, it sounded like a good idea and most everybody was on board. After the disaster this past December, it turned out to be the biggest joke of the year.

2. Fan reactions to John Cena...whether it be booing him at Wrestlemania 22 and ONS II or cheering him on vs. K-Fed, the roller coaster year for the company's top draw was certainly quite entertaining.

3. Releasing Kurt Angle...this guy has been a staple in the WWE since his debut vs. Tazz and whether he was on the verge of a physical collapse or not, it was still a huge blow to an already depleted roster.

4. Edge, RVD, Booker T & Mysterio are champs...at the time, it was pretty bold of the WWE to actually put the straps on guys like Edge and Mysterio. As it turned out, it was TOO bold as Edge was a transitional champ at the beginning of 2006, RVD was sort of a transitional champ in the middle of 2006 and Mysterio's title reign was a complete joke. The only legitimate title reign IMO was Booker's.

5. # of PPV's increases; again!...the WWE is starting to look like college football with all the PPV's (bowl games) they expect us to watch, not to mention the two SNME's thrown in there.

6. DX reunites...like most stories this year and on this list, it was pretty huge when it happened, but give it a couple months and it turns out to be a complete joke.

7. Tag team division...at the end of 2005, the tag team division was pretty much a joke; at the end of 2006, the tag team division actually looks promising.

8. HBK & "God" vs. Vince & Shane @ Backlash...to me personally, this is one of the biggest WrestleCrap matches / moments in any pro-wrestling promotion ever.

9. Joey Styles' shoot promo...sure it was a work, but it was a great moment nonetheless.

10. Bret Hart inducted into HOF...I'll agree with the WWE on this one because I personally thought I'd never actually see Hart in the same room w/ HBK, McMahon ever again after everything that has happened since November 1997.

Notable mentions go out to: The Zombie, Euguene turning heel and "The Marine".

Angle debuted at Survivor Series 1999 against Stasiak. You're thinking of Tazz's debut against Angle at Royal Rumble 2000.

Not to sound anal but Kurt's debut was against Shawn Stasiak, Tazz's debut was Angle

[akkountent]

Thanks for the correction. I had Tazz vs Angle at RR 2000 on my mind for some reason.

[Bub (BLM)]

Aside from RVD and Edge getting title reigns, nothing else from 2006 was worth much to me.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Don't know if this is really in an order, but it's kind of accurate I guess.

10. Edge wins the WWE title after RVD smoked it away, and Edge actually keeps it for longer than 3 weeks.

9. Wrestlemania 22 skit where Snitsky sucks Mae Young's feet.

8. Victoria makes a list of divas to kill.

7. Trish and Mickie dress like each other for a month.

6. ECW One Night Stand 2 - the whole PPV was great.

5. Chloe in a cowboy hat.

4. Edge vs Foley in the WM22 hardcore match.

3. Mickie wins the women's title from Trish at Wrestlemania 22.

2. The skit where Mickie kidnapped Ashley in the gift box, and kissed Trish with blood all over her face.

1. Wrestlemania 22 - overall the best PPV of the year.

[MGH]

10) DX Reforms (I hate it now, but that night in June when it happened it was special)

9) King Bookah defeats Rey to become King of the world.

8) Armageddon Ladder Match

7) Punk Debuts

6) Edge wins title #2 on Raw.

5) Mickie wins the woman's title at Mania.

4) The fans turn on John Cena at NYR in ways that I've never seen a face hated.

3) RVD wins the title at ONS.

2) Trish retires at Unforgiven.

1) Edge wins title #1 at NYR following the chamber.
