What year, in your opinion, is the best of the last three years?
09, 08 and 07. I know it's only mid-August, but even evaluate all three years up to the mid-August point. Which year is the best and worst and why?
To me, 2008 is definitely the best of the last three years. I think the PPV quality and overall product was the best in 08. Alot of cool things happened to, we had a lot of "different" feuds. Punk first won the title. We had that excellent HBK/Jericho feud where Jericho turned full heel by the end. HHH moved to Smackdown! so it was different to see him there where he could do different feuds besides only Orton and Cena. I just think everything seemed fresher and more like WWE was moving forward with some new things and not simply re-treading old steps.
I have to admit, on a whole, I don't think 2009 has been the best year for WWE. I loved some of the PPV's and we've certainly seen one of the best matches in Taker v. HBK at WM25, but overall I feel like WWE is not moving forward as much as in 08. Punk turning heel, I think, has been the best move by WWE this year so far. It makes him a new top heel contender and he plays a heel role very well. It definitely is freshening up SD!. Otherwise, I think things have been mostly kinda stale, particularly RAW. I think RAW is the worst it's been since I can even remember. The Orton/HHH/Cena thing is so overdone by now. We got Orton/HHH matches last year, but it somehow felt more exciting and like the feud was coming to an end ... this year had a good build to WM for Orton/Cena, but the result wasnt great and since then its seemed like its dragged. I also think Orton has just taken a huge step backwards since WM. The Legacy is an atrocious stable, one of the worst main event factions EVER ... they have no unity, no personality ... it just seems so forced and unnatural. I think SD! is doing pretty well right now, but as I said before, I felt more of an overall feeling of moving forward and trying new things in 2008 than in 2009.
Opinions?
