WWE: Best Pay-Per-View Matches of 2012 [Blu-ray]



Best Of 2012 (Technically The First 10 Months)
Just like the release last year, WWE wants to put this collection out before the end of the year so matches from the Survivor Series & T.L.C. events are not included in this collection.

WWE Champion C.M. Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler with John Laurinaitis as the special referee - Before the match, it was made clear that with Triple H appearing on RAW the next night to evaluate & possibly fire John from his position at RAW General Manager, John decided to make himself the outside enforcer while having a regular referee in the ring & even removed Vickie Guerrero from ringside. Both men went back & forth throughout the match with some highlights being Punk's suicide dive onto Dolph on the outside, Dolph taking Punk's leg from under him while on the top rope causing a bad case of whiplash on Punk's neck, a series of counters & attempts that went from the sleeper to an anaconda vice back to the sleeper, and Punk countering the fameasser into a powerbomb that caused Dolph's head to...

An excellent, but incomplete, collection
This dvd box set lives up to it's name, as it does not contain a single bad or sub-par match. It usually takes me a week or so to watch an entire box set, but I watched this one in two days. It truly is a compelling viewing experience. One will see unimaginable sights on this box set, such as John Cena actually having a great match. The only problem with this box set is the exclusion of any matches from 2012's Extreme Rules pay per view. Extreme Rules had three excellent matches: Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the World Heavyweight Championship, CM Punk vs Chris Jericho in a Chicago street fight for the WWE Championship and John Cena vs Brock Lesnar in an Extreme Rules match. The blu-ray edition contains the 2 out of 3 falls match, but there is absolutely no excuse for leaving it off the dvd edition, because it is a strong contender for match of the year (which is another match not on this box set: The TLC pay per view's 6 man TLC tag team match).
