Just watched 2011-2014 and the rumble 2015.

Rocks return in 2011 felt like a shift in the company. There were still some instances where he feels a little out of place but for the most part it was good to see him back.

Punk was super over. crazy how his last few years ended up. Man had some goat level feuds and matches in 2013 but lost every single one of them. Same with Ryback. Crowd was really into him but he never fully got the keys. Probaly poor timing.

Rock Cena was a massive feud but man they were doing entirely too much on the build. The first match still holds up but I liked the one on one promos from 2013 better. More serious and with a purpose than all the silly jokes and worked shoots from 2011-2012. Same thing for punk/rock. They had pretty good promos with each other.

Love the rise of Daniel Bryan. Dude just had IT. Crowd loved the shyt out of him. the crowd hijacking two consecutive rumbles over him is still lol worthy. But I did hate that they started picking apart the legendary Rey mysterio at the royal rumble 2014 though. 2015 however the crowd said fukk this after Bryan was out. Only mizdow, Ziggler, and Ambrose somewhat kept them in it. They should have saved DDP and Bubba till after Bryan was eliminated to offset it a bit. Reigns wins and is kickstarted to his stardom. I’m excited to see his rise.

Cena my guy he had some pretty bad periods during my watches but I can appreciate the body of work. That big fight feeling that he brings is unmatched.

Oh and Brock fukking lesnar is one of the GOATs. He was already god tier off his two year run but his return in 2012 and onwards so far has been a joy to watch it really does solidify his greatness. Another one that brings the big time feeling.

Poor timing? They had a choice..either put over Ryback in that HIAC match or not even book the match. They said fukk it...booked the match..he lost like that and they kept going halfway from that point over. Crowd was with him against the Rebel too...odd horrible booking

These WWF announcers used to say some wild shyt. I'm watching an old episode of Prime Time Wrestling from June 2, 1986. It's S2 Ep 22. Around the 23:00 mark Gorilla Monsoon is telling a story about being so dehydrated during a match with Bruno Samartino that he started licking sweat off of Bruno to get some saliva in his mouth. Then says Samartino thought he was coming out of the closet lol.

They really could have done something with this feud, Nash always generated heat. Even during that mini feud he had where he kept attacking CM Punk was interesting.

Just wrapped 2015. Super pumped to relive this era. Owens, Sasha, Becky, Charlotte are here now.

Roman is starting his rise and still crazy to see how much crowd was against him so early on. He really turned it around with his current day character.

Taker should have called it a day after the streak ended. This is the worst time period for him and I haven’t enjoyed anything he’s done since then. Well I take that back his desperation low blow run he did against Brock in 2015 was a decent story. Brock was red hot almost felt like taker was the heel.

Oh yeah the This is awesome and you still got it chants are woat.
