Wrestling is subjective, so what were your personal top ten moments of 2014 in pro wrestling/sports entertainment?

 
#4 ·
In no order:

The crowd shitting on the Rumble.
Bryan winning the title.
Zayn winning the title.
HHH's entrance at Mania XXX.
Rock/Hogan/Austin at Mania XXX.
The streak ending (Not a favourite of mine but it's definitely a moment).
Wyatt and the kids in the cage with Cena.
Sting's debut.
Lesnar demolishes Cena at Summerslam.
The Rock's surprise return with Rusev and Lana.
Rollins turns on The Shield.
Stephanie returns to the ring at Summerslam.
Bryan joining then leaving the Wyatt Family
The Authority loses at Survivor Series.
Enzo and Big Cass 'Hey Arnold' promo :mark:.
The Shield and The Wyatt Family stand across the ring at Elimination Chamber.
Finn Balor's R Evolution entrance.

2014 has been alright imo. Up until Extreme Rules the product was crazy. The road to Summerslam was brilliant and also the build to Survivor Series. The last part of the year has been total shit though. There have definitely been ups and downs with the one constant being NXT.

Feud of the year: Daniel Bryan vs The Authority

Daniel Bryan and The Shield(Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose) drew extremely huge, had great moments and great matches this year.

2013- 2014 has been the best years since the days of The Rock back in 1999-2001, The Rock returning in 2011 really helped WWE get serious again and thus came Daniel Bryan and The Shield, the first real huge draws since the Attitude era with The Rock.

I doubt I can come up with 10 but I'll get as far as possible.

These are my personal favorite moments and matches, not big moments in the sport overall (in other words no way in hell am I including Taker's loss).

1. Watching Stephanie get handcuffed and put in a police car.
2. Sting's return
3. Wyatts vs The Shield at Elimination Chamber
4. Occupy Raw
5. The Shield on Piper's Pit
6. Jake Roberts letting Damien loose on Dean Ambrose
7. CM Punk on Colt Cabana's podcast (both times)
8. Luke Harper vs Ziggler Ladder match at TLC
9. The Authority being out of power
10. Charlotte vs Natalya at the NXT PPV back in Feb/Mar

Hey look at that!! I was able to think of 10!!

Bryan winning the titles at WM and Bryan turning on Wyatt would probably be my top 2. I thought Sting's debut was underwhelming and would have been a hell of a lot better if he confronted The Undertaker instead. Which is what 99% of people on the internet wanted to see happen. Sure he could still come out on him but we all wanted that to be Sting's FIRST moment in WWE. Staring down the Undertaker and challenging him to a match at WM.

Sting vs HHH isn't on anyones wish-list. Just like HHH vs Brock wasn't on anyones wish-list. The fact that we have yet to see Brock vs Bryan, Orton, Sheamus, Ambrose, and a bunch of other guys kinda annoys me considering they wasted him on HHH 3 times and also the fucking Big Show fpalm And I say all this as a guy who kinda likes HHH.

Lesnar vs Taker... the match was shit, lets be honest. Lesnar ending the streak was shocking for about a day, and where was the payoff? Heyman bringing it up every week while Cesaro stands beside him like a fucking idiot? Lesnar's been there maybe 7 times since its happened. What a waste. Looking back, I don't think Lesnar should have ended the streak. I don't think he should have won the title if he isn't arsed or "obliged" to show up on Raw every week. The whole Lesnar thing is a massive waste ot time for me. And it's annoying watching these PPVs knowing there's no title match. I know the WWE title is next to worthless these days but there should still be a title feud.

In no order:

1. Daniel Bryan overcoming The Authority and winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WM30. This was the perfect culmination of a seven month-long story line.

2. Brock Lesnar ending the Streak at Wrestlemania. Love it or hate it, it'll go down as one of the biggest shockers of all-time.

3. Brock Lesnar decimating John Cena at Summerslam. I know we all expected a clean victory for Brock here, but talk about a total ass-whooping.

4. Bryan turning on the Wyatts inside the steel cage on Raw.

5. Sting's debut and Dolph Ziggler being the sole survivor at Survivor Series.

6. The Wyatts vs The Shield at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

7. Cesaro eliminating Big Show and winning the Andre Memorial Battle Royal.

8. Seth Rollins turning on The Shield and selling out to The Authority. We all knew The Shield would almost certainly end sometime in 2014, but nearly no one thought it would end the night after Payback, and everyone thought it would be Ambrose turning on his brothers, not Rollins.

9. The crowd shitting all over Batista's Rumble victory.

10. Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin and The Rock standing in the same ring with one another at Wrestlemania XXX.

The reaction Bryan got when he turned on Bray Wyatt during the cage match on Raw, and Sting's debut are the 2 biggest for me.

They'd certainly be top. The rest, in no order, that jump out include:

Bray Wyatt defeating Daniel Bryan at The Royal Rumble.
The Wyatts VS The Shield build.
The reformation of Evolution and their feud, and matches, with The Shield.
Bryan beating HHH and winning the title at Wrestlemania.
Seth Rollins turning against Ambrose and Reigns.

Other things like Brock ending the streak and The Authority disbanding were pretty big but didn't really make an impact on me, although they stand out.
