2008 had HBK/Batista feud and the subsequent HBK/Jercho feud, both of which were awesome. 2008 also gave us Punk's first world title run, the Miz and Morrison/DX mini feud, Glamarella...it wasn't perfect but 08 I think was the last consistently good year Raw had. Since then it's been pockets of awesome surrounded by giant swathes of bland shit.

I LOVED 2006. The Cena/Edge feud was a lot of fun, and I think I'm one of the few people who unironically enjoyed the McMahons vs. DX. The fact that the Observer voted WWE "worst promotion" that year is just flat out WRONG. DX/McMahons did have moments that were awful (the bbq for example) but was so worth it for the Vince/Shane impersonation. The build to the reunion was epic though. You have Hunter being the total heel toady for Vince and Shane, oddly subservient, and Shawn the never say die babyface in his feud with Vince. The teases between Hunter and Shawn who were enemies in storyline for so long. Hunter missing the sledgehammer shot and hitting Shane, then the following week after Vince demanded an apology, he had two words for them...."I'm sorry". Shawn confronts him and says despite everything he always respected Hunter until that moment. Shawn is taken out by the Spirit Squad. Hunter is going to be forced to join the kiss my ass club via drugging, but he switches drinks so Shane passes out. Vince eats the pedigree. Spirit Squad vs Hunter, 4 of them about to "break his damn neck" as per Vince's instruction. "Mitch get out here". Shawn makes the save, and we get a face off, high 5 and crotch chop. Epic epic epic. I love when HHH is reffing a match and leaves, and as he gets to the stage HBK walks out and both guys look at eachother and then down at the ring with the Spirit Squad, and the fans are going crazy just begging for it to happen. But then HHH just smirks and walks through the curtani Also, the week HHH was to hit HBK with the sledgehammer. HHH takes too long and Kenny grabs the sledgehammer which annoys Triple H. He goes to hit Shawn but HHH stands in the way and then beats up the whole Spirit Squad. In kayfabe HHH only did it cause Kenny disrespected him, but the fans could easily make up their own minds as to why he did. As far as the question. Punks pipebomb to Punks heel turn. I really enjoyed fall of 2011. I loved the whole show wide angle of things just getting out of hand in spite of HHHs best efforts. Also, NYR 06 to ONS 2. Theres a reason they only went below a 4.0 rating once that entire time. Really good stuff. WM 22 is one of the most underrated WMs. 22 IMO is easily the best of the 20s.
