I know I said we could do one of these a week, but Ive been busy.
2007. A good year until June IMO. And everybody knows what happened in June.
2007 had some good moments IMO. Cena vs. Umaga was a good one. I remember as a kid thinking Cena actually had a shot of losing.
The loss of Triple H early in the year hurt this year for me. It just wasnt the same without the Game.
Edge and Randy Orton should have had a match at WM 23.
HBK vs. Cena and UT vs. Batista are great WM matches IMO.
CM Punk finally wins the ECW Championship during his feud with Morrison. I was a huge Morrison fan as a child.
Which year should we discuss next? 2000 2006 1998

Some great matches in 2007. Cena vs Umaga at the Rumble, Undertaker vs Batista several times, Cena vs Lashley and Hardy vs Umaga at The Bash, Hardy vs Triple H at Armageddon. Some great moments too, like Triple H pedigreeing London and Kendrick, and Vince getting his head shaved.
It'll always be the worst year in wrestling history because of what Benoit did, though.

To me 2007 will always be linked to Chris Benoit. I rather not remember that year, and to be honest, I don't remember much great happening that year anyhow.

It was one of my favorite years, not acknowledging "him". Cena/HBK was by far my favorite. Loved Edge and Randy Orton, and are we going to forget this was Edges first WHC (not WWE)? I felt like he did good with it. And of course, THE RETURN OF Y2J! I remember being scared as a kid thinking someone kept hacking Raw.
The bad is Khali. I hate that period. Then McMahon winning the ECW title, and McMahon blowing up. That's about it for the bad if I can remember.

2007 was a terrible year imo, it was almost like the second 2008 hit, the product instantly got better haha. It started to pick up around Survivor Series but most of 2007 was hot garbage.
The only good things about 2007 to me is
- Batista vs. Taker HIAC at Survivor Series - Shawn Michaels Return - Randy Orton winning WWE Title - Edge winning World Title twice - Matt Hardy/MVP feud - Jericho returning
Everything else was either pretty much crap or a word that means crap times 100
- Khali winning World Title - Hornswoggle as Mr. McMahons son - Triple H injured at beginning of year - Shawn injured in middle of year - Chris Benoit - London/Kendricks awesome tag title run being ended by Deuce and Domino? - Edge getting injured - Batista vs. Khali world title feud - Kennedy getting injured and forfeiting MITB - Jeff Hardy busted for drugs - Half the roster busted and suspended for steroid usage - Booker T leaving for TNA - Vince McMahon as ECW Champion - John Morrison as ECW Champion - Lashley/McMahons feud - Cruiserweight Championship retired - Hornswoggle as final Cruiserweight Champion - McMahon death angle/exploding limo

It started off good, then in the middle of the year, a lot people got suspended, injured, and the Benoit incident which screwed up the direction they were going.
Towards the end of the year, it started to come back into place though. So all in all, it was a year I enjoyed but I wish MVP didn't have that weird medical condition thing going on, and I wish Kennedy didn't get hurt.

Good: - The series of matches between Batista & The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship - The return of Y2J the night after Survivor Series - Randy Orton becoming WWE Champion twice in one night - HBK vs. John Cena (match from the Raw in England) - CM Punk winning ECW Championship
Bad: - Too much too list - the Chris Benoit stuff tops the list though

I honestly don't remember much about 2007 besides Benoit's death, which pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Completely forgettable.

Egh not a big fan of 2007 as I feel it and 2006 were a step down from the ruthless aggression era.
The good: - Batista/undertaker: great matches. Everyone of their one on one matchups delivered.
- cena/hbk hour long raw match: I'm not a fan of their wm match but this one more than made up for it.
- mvp/Matt hardy: great miscard feud.
The bad: - cm punk jobbed out: punk had gained a strong following while on wcw but the wwe decided to have him lose on 3 straight ppvs to John Morrison who wasn't that over on his own. I'm still scratching my head as to why the wwe did this.
The ugly:
-khali: enough said
I'll post more later when I think of them.
I vote for 2000 next.

The greatest feud of the last few years began in 2007 when Edge cashed in his MITB contract on the Undertaker and that triggered their kickass feud til SummerSlam 2008, obviously with some pauses due to injuries. That whole scenario was just so well booked with Edge as the camera man inside the Cell and then winning the World Title with the help of Hawkins and Ryder.

2007 was a terrible year for wrestling both in and out of the ring.
Pretty sure the term "Super Cena" was born and rightfully so because the guy just trampled everybody he went up against that year. He only lost the title because he got injured.
Way too much Khali in '07.
Obviously the Benoit tragedy trumped everything else that happened and ended up being the defining storyline of pro wrestling that year.
2007 was the year I went to my first Wrestlemania. The bus ride to Detroit took 14 hours and was so damn pleasant it cured my fear of flying as I ended up buying a one-way flight home. I went by myself and just being in the arena looking around it was so surreal to think I finally made it to a Wrestlemania. The show was okay. Of course being there live makes me partial to it, but I know it wasn't one of the better WM's by any stretch of the imagination. Still, very memorable to me.
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 might be my runner-up for worst thing to come out of wrestling in '07. What a f*cking abomination.

I did enjoy the Batista/Taker series but their match at Survivor Series was probably my favorite. I'll give you that I didn't dislike their rivalry though.

Worst year of the Ruthless Aggression Era. When the year kicks off with John Cena jobbing to Kevin Federline, you know its going to be terrible. Other crap that happened was Hornswoggle being Vince McMahon's son, Great Khali winning the World Heavyweight Championship and John Cena's epic WWE Championship reign getting cut short by injury

Other than Batista/Taker I don't recall any other positive.
Shitty year overall.

While edge and taker had a solid feud I've never gone crazy for their in ring work together. I just feel they never had great chemistry working together and there matches were solid at best (even their hiac). I though Batista had far better chemistry with both men in the ring than they had together. I love every Batista/taker match and the Batista/edge matches were very good as well.

2004-2009 seems to blend together in my memory and I often get confused as to what year certain matches/events happened during that time period.
