MITB 2011. Punk/Cena alone was enough. Cena and Punk had perfect rivals in eachother. No one will ever work as great as Punk did with Cena. No, not even "I'M PULLING AT MY HAIR AND AND OPENING MY EYES WIDE SO THAT SHOWS IM BEING INTENNNNSEEEEE" Edge. Great rivals. Great match. Great crowd. Great angle. Great commentary. Great build up. Great ending. An absolutely perfect match.
Then you throw on both MITB's and the fact that Orton actually lost to Christian. Nothing since has touched this PPV...

Also, the first airing of the vignette revealing Angle as coming to TNA. That was the absolute peak of the company...

I've said this before but Sting no-selling Jarrett's guitar shot at BFG 2006 is not only one of the best TNA moments ever but also one of my all-time favorite wrestling moments. God, yes. The guitar shot was treated like death. Sting just shaking it off and flexing was great. The crowd reaction was amazing...

I know we're all having fun with ice cream here, but it's seriously this: It was already ruined by then. Summerslam 2011. There was no reason. There was no reason for any of it. Alberto "Conway Pop" Del Rio, the WWEs other golden boy (for a while) along with Sheamus), wins the WWE Title. He LOSES to John Cena. Mr Status Quo. Conway Pop wins it back, and loses it to CM Punk, who had just lost for the previous four months in a shitty storyline with Triple H and Awesome Truth. The whole Summerslam thing culminates with Nash/HHH in a TLC match. WWE either purposely cut out Punks legs from under him, or they are incompetent, idiotic bookers. Punk was THE reason to watch in the Summer of 2011, and they ruined him. He was no longer white hot and went on to defend in the midcard till a forced heel turn next summer. After a loss to a guy who was on RAW once a month after winning, and a year stealing match against John Cena, he went on to a slapped together feud with The Undertaker and lost. By the time he returned as a face, he was just another guy. A shell of the guy who lit the world on fire two years previously...

Taker. Easy. He was a staple of SD from 04-2010. Usually a good match, too...

"July 17, 2011, will be the most historic day not only in the career of CM Punk, it's going to be a historic day for the WWE as a whole. Not only is July 17 the second annual Money in the Bank ladder match PPV, it's the night I defeat John Cena for the WWE championship. Now here's that honesty I was talking about, that honesty that's probably gotten me in trouble more times than I'd like to admit, the brutal honesty I'm know for; July 17 is the day my contract with World Wrestling Entertainment comes to an end. That means when the clock strikes midnight, 17 becomes 18, Sunday bleeds into Monday -- I'm leaving. And trust me when I tell you, I am leaving with the WWE championship."

I love the moment when they truly cemented their face turn (yes, they were faces beforehand, I know) when they made the save for Daniel Bryan against the Authority on the post-WM30 Raw. Them walking down the steps with the skull masks was so badass. I loved the shot they showed in the recap the next week where the camera is behind them, too. I'm gonna be honest, I got a little bored of them during their face run when they constantly got the better of Evolution. Evolution should have won at least one match to make the feud more interesting. The end though was perfect with Rollins of all people turning heel. I think it was awesome that they beat Evolution at ER and the at Payback with all 3 not getting eliminated. That was incredible too. I love how they all eliminated one person. I love how it was Rollins that turned things around with the dive off the stage. I loved the end when its HHH alone but he has the sledgehammer and The Shield still appears to be in danger because of it, but Rollins flys in from the top rope with the knee and Reigns hits the spear. My favorite part is after they won and Reigns crawls over to Rollins who's out on the edge of the ring and grabs his hand in solidarity and gives a weak smile...

Nothing comes close to the 02-05 WWE Title. NOTHING. No, not the Winged Eagle Belt that looks like a Cruiserweight Title. N-O-T-H-I-N-G...

I loved when they teased them breaking up and they had the summit on Smackdown and patched things up...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghUoYgOnm7oNot the exact same type of thing seeing as its an in arena recording, but heres another example of a spot awkwardly being redone. It's way more awkward than this one, I think. Especially considering they really could have just came up with a new spot on the fly...

I'm conflicted on present day Lesnar. I love his aura and the feel of his matches are so different, but "KNEE PUNCH SUPLEX KNEE KNEE ELBOW KNEE KNEE ELBOW SUPLEX SUPLEX KNEE KNEE KNEE ELBOW ELBOW KNEE" annoys the shit out of me sometimes. I miss 02-04 Lesnar at times...

I can't stand people who abuse the running and running grapples online. Like as soon as you reverse something and you're both standing there, and they either immediately go for a running move, or even worse, started running in circles so you can't do anything and THEN do a running move. God. Just play the f***ing game the way its suppose to be played. What fun is there in constantly doing running grapples, or picking the most fast strikes so anytime you're next to the other person, they don't have much of a chance to avoid it? I'll never understand that shit. There's no fun in it whatsoever. The whole appeal of playing with another person is that you can have a more entertaining match than you can with a computer whos AI is only so good. Winning has no fulfillment if you're doing cheap shit the entire match...

Umaga vs Undertaker was a dream match until he got released. I saw Taker beat Khali AND Umaga in a handicap match at SNME in July 06. This was like a month and a half after Khali had squashed Taker...
