1. The Undertaker vs Triple H - Wrestlemania XXVIII
For the second consecutive year, The Undertaker clashed with Triple H at Wrestlemania. The stakes were raised this year, as the match would take place inside Hell in a Cell with none other than Shawn Michaels as special guest referee. Billed as "The End of an Era," the two old foes faced each other for the third time on "The Grandest Stage of Them All," 11 years after their first Wrestlemania match. The addition of "The Heartbreak Kid," who has a long and complicated history with both competitors, was a great touch. What followed was an epic clash between two legends of the business, and a masterclass in ring psychology. The action slowly rose to a crescendo, with the use of both the steel steps and chairs ensuring that the contest was as brutal as anything seen during the PG era. HBK played his role to perfection, creating an emotional involvement in the match. Booked to perfection, many thought "The Streak" was in real danger, as Triple H scored some of the closest near-falls you're ever likely to see. However, "The Deadman" would not be denied, and he finally manged to put down the "King of Kings" with the Tombstone to extend his winning run to 20-0. One of the all-time great Wrestlemania matches, The Undertaker and Triple H crafted both a physically and emotionally gripping contest, and the sight of the three legends embracing at the top of the ramp was the perfect way to end the best match of the year.
2. Cm Punk vs Daniel Bryan - Over The Limit 2012
Fans around the world rejoiced when Daniel Bryan became the No. 1 contender to the WWE Championship, setting him on a collision course with old foe CM Punk. Expectations were incredibly high going into the match, and the two former ROH stalwarts more than delivered, giving us one of the best technical contests seen in the WWE in recent years. Both men used moves from their repertoire rarely seen in today's WWE, and the momentum went back and forth as the action spilled to ringside. And in the squared circle, we were treated to a wrestling clinic featuring great technical spots. The audience knew they were seeing something special, and were vocally appreciative of the match. "The Voice of the Voiceless" picked up the hard-fought victory when he pinned Bryan's shoulders to the mat, moments before tapping out to the Yes Lock. Despite failing, yet again, to capture world title gold, Daniel Bryan looked highly competitive in defeat and remained incredibly over. This excellent contest added another chapter to the storied history between the two stars, and CM Punk proved himself once again as "The Best in the World" by retaining the belt.
3. Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan - Extreme Rules 2012
After dropping the World Heavyweight Championship to Sheamus in a humiliating 18 seconds at Wrestlemania, Daniel Bryan invoked his rematch clause four weeks later in a 2-out-of-3 falls match. What followed was a gripping contest—stacked with drama and near falls—that turned out to be one of the year's best. The match showed that the two had great chemistry in the ring together, and the powerful style of the "Celtic Warrior" meshed well with the technically proficient Bryan. The stipulation also ensured that the match would be a lengthy one, and the quality of in-ring action almost made up for the Wrestlemania disappointment. Bryan intentionally conceded the first fall via disqualification when he exceeded the referee's five count. The score was soon leveled as "The Great White" passed out in his weakened state when trapped in the Yes Lock. Ultimately, Sheamus would score the decisive pinfall just shy of the 23 minute mark when he connected with the Brogue Kick. It is a wonder why these two were only given 18 seconds in the ring at Wrestlemania when they were capable of putting on a show like this. Bryan's popularity was reaching fever pitch and the loss did nothing to harm his momentum, while Sheamus proved himself a credible World Heavyweight Champion with his spirited effort, more than holding his own against a supremely talented opponent.
4. Cm Punk vs Chris Jericho - Extreme Rules 2012
In what became an increasingly personal feud, CM Punk and Chris Jericho sought to settle their differences, once and for all, in a Chicago Street Fight. It was a nice touch for both stars to compete in street clothes, as it made it clear to the audience that this would be an all-out war. And with the title of "Best in the World" up for debate, both men gave everything in a match filled with action from start to finish. Tables, kendo sticks, chairs—and even a fire extinguisher—made their way into the match at some point, and the immense skills of Punk and Jericho led to some great weapon-based spots. Most notably, Jericho executed a dangerous-looking Codebreaker onto a chair, while "The Voice of the Voiceless" used his signature flying elbow to put Y2J through the announcer's table. Punk finally hit Jericho with the Go To Sleep for the feud-ending pinfall. Once again Jericho selflessly put his opponent over, but both stars deserve credit for what was the most entertaining Street Fight seen in the WWE for some time
5. The Shield vs Team Hell No & Ryback - TLC 2012
The Shield were under immense pressure going into their match with Ryback and Team Hell No at TLC. The three newcomers were making their in-ring WWE debuts against three high-profile opponents in one of the company's greatest gimmick matches. Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns proved they could back up their words with actions, and scored the massive victory. This was one of the rare occasions where the creative team got it dead right. The Shield kept their momentum going and looked impressive doing so, and new main-event star Ryback was protected in the finish. All six competitors made great use of the stipulations, including an impressive double superplex by The Shield on Bryan. Ryback, once again, went through the announcer's table, and the decision to give "Big Hungry" a breather before the finish was the right one, as he tossed Rollins from a ladder and through the tables waiting below. Kane was taken out after being tackled through the barricade by Reigns and with Ryback otherwise occupied, Bryan was the man to be pinned. Proving themselves as the newest major threat to the WWE, The Shield more than matched their opponents and gave us one of the best-ever TLC matches in the process.
The Rock is scheduled for a Royal Rumble showdown with CM Punk on the 27th of January 2013, which was originally claimed to be the scheduled return of The Rock to WWE.
But now, the WWE has announced that he will be appearing live on the January 7th episode of RAW from Tampa, FL. He will also be appearing at the SmackDown taping the following night, on January 8th, from Miami.
FOX Cities did an interview with WWE Superstar Sheamus about life, superstars and fun, here are the excerpts
Q1 When fans started to take him seriously: ”It was the first couple of months. I won the Breakthrough Battle Royal (in 2009) and just thinking about it now, I think it was when I became WWE champion. There was no choice but to take me seriously because I also had that tables match with John Cena and I think people were like, he’s never going to beat Cena and when I did, everyone was like, what the hell? Everyone was just stunned. I think that’s when people realized this is going to be a major player here.”
Q2 Wrestlers who have helped his career: ”The biggest match I had at that time in my career was against D-Lo Brown because he’s a former WWE superstar and that’s where I wanted to be, so that was a huge deal for me. I remember being pretty nervous. When I went to England, I started getting some great experience and a guy called Robbie Brookside, who used to be William Regal’s old tag partner, took me under his wing and kind of looked after me. He helped me along and it was just a great experience knowing him. Me and Drew McIntyre were also best mates. We wrestled a lot in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and after every match we had, we tried to make each one better and better. We’d change it up and it was just a great experience and we kept pushing each other.”
Q3 Which feud he’s enjoyed more – Daniel Bryan or The Big Show: ”I really liked the Daniel Bryan feud. We’ve had so many matches. Don’t get me wrong, the feud I have with Big Show has been unbelievable and a lot of fun and each feud is special because you learn and you grow from each one. It’s like you never stop evolving, you never stop getting better and you’ve got to keep pushing yourself. They’re two completely different opponents. I guess I’ve kind of enjoyed them equally, but with Bryan, the way it sparked off was a great experience because we had the emotion from the crowd. It’s hard to pick, man. This one with Big Show has definitely been an experience for me. I’ve gotten knocked out a couple of times and I’ve lost my World Heavyweight Championship to him in that feud as well. He’s as physical as he’s ever been so it’s been great for both of us. Even though I lost, you can’t win them all.”
Q4 Most WWE superstars appear to go tanning and lather themselves with oil, but you don’t do that. Have you ever even tried tanning: ”(laughs) I did when I was in Ireland. I shaved my head and tanned because I thought that’s what you were supposed to do to be a WWE superstar. Then I realized, why should I try to look like everybody else when I have a unique look myself. So I stopped doing that and just started being me. Using all that oil and that fake tan and all that stuff…It’s hard enough taking 20 minutes to get that hair of mine to stand up, so that would just really be too much for me. I’m glad I don’t have to tan and it definitely makes me stand out. It makes my character easily recognizable.”
