Well there it is, The Best Of 2011. Of course this is in wwe's opinion. Obviously they left out Survivor Series and TLC. What do you guys think about the matches. Good, ok, bad... What would you keep/change. What is the best/worst match on the set etc. (you don't have to answer all the questions I'm just giving examples)

How the hell is Christian/Orton from OTL, and both Rhodes/Mysterio and Punk/Orton from Extreme Rules not on the DVD? Those were three of my top 5 WWE matches from last year.

If they were looking to only put one Randy Orton vs. Christian match on the DVD, I still think they made the right decision. That match was absolutely off the chain. Basically, besides Bryan vs. Barrett, it was a the cream of the crop for that show. Which makes me think that Smackdown was super stacked around Summer. We also had Sheamus vs. Henry on that card and even that was a real showstealer.

I also wish there didn't really HAVE to be a Diva's title match, because it's really just obligitary. As far as I'm concerned it's a complete filler match that I will enjoy.... skipping over. No but really, I'd like to have seen the Smackdown Money in the Bank match there to compliment the Raw one. Actually, I kind of thought it was better than Raw's, but that's a different story. The only other match that was snubbed that instantly comes to mind would be Cena and Miz's 'I Quit Match' at Over The Limit. I don't hear it mentioned a ton, but I quite liked it, and WWE can't tell me it was worse than their Diva's match.

Why would you think that? I thought that sicne he'd done it before, Miz could beat Cena again and the way he dominated made it seem like he really would. Therefore it was one of the less predictable John Cena matches.

The one thing that's bugged me about that match since it happened is the multitude of people saying Miz was buried. He got more than 20 minutes of brutal offense in on Cena before losing his lackey and being shoved into the STF. He tapped out like the chicken shit heel he's portrayed to be, so what's the problem in that? I don't believe that match did anything to hurt Miz at all, but for some reason I feel I'm in the minority.

That being said, I don't think the match warrants inclusion on the DVD because it wasn't as good as some of the others on there. Oh and EC, I loved Orton/Christian at Summerslam, but there's no way it was as good as the OTL match in my mind. That's partially because I'm not a huge fan of gimmick matches though.

I understand the wwe trying to put importance on the divas by showcasing their match but they cant honestly say that it was better than pretty much... every match contested by a male on pay per view. I would have rather seen Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes from Vengeance than the divas match. And wwe has to put match quality over importance. The match from Hell in a Cell from mark Henry from Randy Orton was far better than the one from NOC. wwe put the one from NOC because it was Mark's first title win. Randy Orton vs Christian from over the limit was better than the one from summerslam. It just was. That match was poetry in motion from start to finish. I havent seen a more beautiful match in a long time. The one from summerslam was good don't get me wrong but it just doesn't compare to the one from over the limit. They should have taken out Orton vs Christian from Summerslam and replaced it with the one from OTL then put Cena vs Punk from Summerslam. It was just as good as the one from MITB. I'd have liked to see both Cena/Punk matches on there. I don't know why they put Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio from wrestlemania. It wasn't that good. It was a solid match but it was forgettable. Mysterio/Rhodes from Extreme Rules was better. Henry vs Show from vengeance was a good match for a big man match but still not that good. I enjoyed Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton and Awesome Truth vs CM Punk and Triple H. And then there's the raw MITB match. The smackdown match was better, it's just a fact. And then there's the fact that they left out Survivor Series and TLC. The Rock's first match in seven years and you leave that off... Wow. And CM Punk vs Alberto Del Rio was a great match. Also Punk vs Del Rio vs Miz from TLC. My review for the matches are

Edge vs Dolph Ziggler... 3.5/5
Smackdown Elimination Chamber... 4/5
Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio... 2.5/5
Triple H vs Undertaker... 5/5
Christian vs Alberto Del Rio... 4/5
Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk... 3.8/5
Raw MITB match... 3/5
CM Punk vs John Cena... 5/5
Christian vs Randy Orton... 4.2/5
Randy Orton vs Mark Henry... 3/5
Triple H vs CM Punk... 4/5
Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix... 3/5 (for a divas match)
Alberto Del Rio vs John Cena vs CM Punk... 4.5/5
Mark Henry vs The Big Show... 3/5

It was a boring handicap match for like 25 minutes that drug on and on until the very end to me at least. I'm not a hater of either guy but I almost fell asleep during that shit.

Everyone make a list of what you think were the best PPV matches of 2011. Start from the Royal Rumble and go up to TLC. please try to put the matches in order from RR to TLC. it's unrealistic to list every match that you liked so let's limit it to 20 matches.
