What is the best year of the current decade (so far)for the WWE ? Even with all the current problems, i have to say that 2013 is still probably the best year.

I feel since 2011 it gets better every year.

I'm going to say 2012 for the rise of Daniel Bryan (despite the 18 seconds), the rise of AJ, CM Punk is champion for the full year, Brock Lesnar returns, Extreme Rules was a great PPV, The Rock's first singles match in years and he beat Cena, Paul Heyman is back in a big way, the debut of the Shield, and Chris Jericho returns.

2011 hands down. Nothing comes close. 2011 is actually one of my favorite years.

'13 mostly because of NXT. '13 How many MOTY contenders have we seen on free T.V.? A LOT. That's the other major reason. That said all the years tend to blend together to a certain degree so if/when there's some fuller summaries on this thread I may change my vote.

Last year was pretty sweet. I know a lot of Punk's fans weren't clamoring for him to turn heel and didn't want to boo him, but hot damn was he entertaining regardless during that stretch. I prefer him overall as a sarcastic, snarky babyface, but I'll take him as a cartoonish villain over the psuedo-Stone Cold thing he's doing now.
Plus you had two back-to-back legendary Cena matches (one was one of the biggest box office draws ever, the other a brutal classic), the rise of fresh talent like Ziggler, Ryback and Shield, Team Hell No, some great matches, etc. Also Raw 1000 (I WAS THERE).

Technically speaking 2010 was part of the last decade.

Have to go with this one. Last year and 2011 were good, but the number of hot crowds, the greater amount of patience Creative has been having with the angles (regardless of how people feel about The Authority, this was a much better paced angle than Summer of Punk or The Nexus), the Summer of Bryan which ended better than Punk's, the Divas getting better focus, the Tag Division becoming stacked, the return of Goldust plus Cody becoming a hot face, the return of HBK, and the fantastic amount of TV and PPV matches as well as NXT seal it up for 2013.

IMO, 2010 had an exciting feeling of the old guard moving on (HBK and Batista retiring, Jericho leaving again, Triple H and Undertaker shifting into reduced schedules, even longtime heels Orton and Edge both turning face) and a new roster of stars rising up, which hasn't really been replicated since. Last few years feel like they've settled into a more comfortable pattern of "Big names return to pop buyrates at Wrestlemania and a couple other major PPVs, rest of the year is smark-friendly angles built on the indie workrate darlings, because we know hardly anyone else will be watching anyway".

Even with the slow decline of quality this year, the first half of the year easily makes up for it. Everything was solid gold & they were having their best year in over a decade.

2012 was the most enjoyable year for me since 2008.
• Daniel Bryan's ascension. • Kane's career renaissance. • Team Hell No. • Punk's reign. • Rock's first singles match in years (and he won). • Mania 28 finally ending the streak of sub-par/horrible Manias. • Lesnar's return. • Extreme Rules as a whole. • Punk vs. Bryan in the main event. • The Shield debuts and has arguably the best debut match in history.

2012, by far, but 2011 is a very, very close second.
