With the negative thread about all of the mistakes that WWE has made this year, I figured we should also appreciate all of the positive things that we've seen this year. I'll start. - WrestleMania XXX - NXT. Seriously, every single thing about NXT. - Brock Lesnar - The Tag Team Title reign of The Usos - Damien Mizdow - The Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins feud - The Shield/Evolution matches - The Shield breakup - The Shield vs. The Wyatts - NXT ArRival, NXT TakeOver, NXT TakeOver: Fatal Four Way - Tyson Kidd and his heel character - SLATER GATOR! - The push of Bad News Barrett That's all I could think of for right now I Agree with Everything you just said I would only add Brie vs Stephanie feud I LOVED that feud.

My biggest positive this year was seeing Rollins turn heel on the Shield and then the run he's received from that turn. MITB, SummerSlam, getting to stomp Brock, right down to the eulogy of Dean Ambrose. It's been amazing.
Beyond that, Ziggler finally getting the IC Title, Bryan being given his moment at Mania after getting over so big, Outlaws reunion tour, The Shield vs Evolution, finally getting Nitro on the Network and Sting getting a DVD and being featured in the video game.

Man, I feel like I'm such a downer. With all of the above being good choices and whatnot, it's very difficult for me to pick any real good positives. I liked that Jericho came back (again) but that didn't last. I like that the Wyatts had a STRONG first part of the year feuding with Cena and having all that mind games with the kids in the masks and everything else, but only to have that dropped with Wyatt jobbing non-stop. Ziggler being, I guess elevated to the IC title was very cool, but then this whole Miz thing seems like just a joke. You break up a really solid team in The Shield and Rollins is the MITB winner, eh, I don't buy him as a threat, even with The Authority backing him. Reigns is out. The only real positive is Ambrose, at least for me, I really dig him. I just hope that something down the line is the payoff. I hate to see the WWE push this guy only to have it hit a brick wall. And poor Daniel Bryan, that would be my pick, but the poor kid is basically done for. Even that little bit is sullied by his injury.
I really hope 2015 (wow, 2015!!!) is better.

Royal Rumble crowd hijack Shield vs. The Wyatts Jake the Snakes induction ceremony Wrestlemania XXX as a whole Ultimate Warrior's eerie final promo before his death Shield vs. Evolution MITB briefcase ladder match The rise of Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns Summerslam Main Event outcome Ambrose-Rollins fued NXT in general with all of the live specials And what 2014 will be mostly remembered for......STING!
On paper, not a bad year compared to others. At least it's not as bad as 2010

"Fav 5" - Bryan at Wrestlemania - Cesaro matches - Rollins vs. Ambrose - nXt - Wyatts (despite the fact they've been crap on most of the year, they're still one of the most interesting things in the company) This. With the addition of BNB.

To me he is. I just remember seeing him in tights. And then on a Halloween episode of SmackDown he dressed up as Vanilla Ice and the white guy rapper gimmick stuck ever since. I don't care for it. Before the gimmick he was losing almost every time.

So, because he was in just tights and then dressed as Vanilla Ice once, he's a gimmick job forever? And as the "Vanilla Ice" rapper gimmick, he won the United States Title, so I don't think he was losing almost every time.

After he got the Rapper gimmick it exploded to what we know today. Had Cena done his own thing I would not have hated him so much. But instead wwe forced the rapper gimmick down everyones throat and I grew to despise wwe. So yes, once I hate a wrestler I will forever see them as nothing but a Jobber. I know he isnt a jobber on the show but he always will be to me.

Cutting the dead weight to offset losses caused by the network. Continuing to focus on the one full-time guy that draws well to offset losses caused by the network.

1. WWE actually listening to the fanbase and changing the WWE title plans for WrestleMania, leading to Daniel Bryan getting a massive reaction to close WM.
2. Paul Heyman's promo work. The absolute best in the business.
3. Brock Lesnar destroying everyone, especially John Cena. Props to Cena for taking that ass-whupping. Shame on Cena for coming back 8 days later and taking a shot at 'Taker.
4. The Dust boys and The Usos. Sure, they don't have many other teams to work with now, but they are still awesome.
5. The Shield-Wyatt feud. It ended too soon, but it was pretty glorious while it lasted.
6. The awesome women of the WWE. Stephanie is doing her greatest heel work ever, AJ Lee back and still giving good in-ring performances. It would be nice if she got a bit more mic time. Lana, Lana, Lana. Looks great and held her own on the mic against The Rock.
7. NXT. The best show WWE is producing right now. Yeah, the mic work from the talent is always good, but almost all of the men and women can GO in the ring. Yeah, we may not get the guys we want in the main event on the WWE roster, but at least these guys will give us great matches on future Raws, Smackdowns, and PPVs. And any show that gives Regal mic time gets a thumbs up from me.
8. Damion Sandow. He's been given awful, ridiculous crap to do all year, but he made it entertaining and is really getting over with the fans. Not sure how WWE can turn it around to make him a main guy in the future, but I certainly hope they try. He's clearly one of the most talented guys on the roster.
9. Match quality. From Cesaro, the Usos, the Shield guys, Daniel Bryan, Ziggler, AJ Lee, Gold and Stardust, Randy Orton, etc., it's bee a while since match quality has been this good. From the opening match to the main events, most of the matches are at least pretty good. Too bad the "entertainment" segments have been so awful much of the time.
