WWE: The Best of Raw and SmackDown 2011

It was a year that saw an 'Awesome' title reign, the return of 'The Great One', an shocking retirement and many, many memorable moments and matches that made both Raw and Smackdown must watch TV.Disc 1-1/3/11, Raw, Falls Count Anywhere Match for the WWE Championship, The Miz (Champion) w/Alex Riley vs. John Morrison: The former tag champs and best friends face off for the biggest prize of them all and it was quite a good match as both guys were on a roll coming into this contest. Morrison was on fire early taking it to both guys and even hitting a splash off the WWE logo on the stage onto both guys and he kept up the offense back in the ring almost having Miz beat, but Riley inteferes and gets beat up again.

Kofi ends up hitting a huge crossbody off the top to win the title. 6/10. Dolph attacks Kofi from behind, Vickie says she's in charge and gives Ziggler his rematch right away.

Back from the break Del Rio takes it to Rey who comes back with a springboard hurricarana, Del Rio later goes for the arm breaker but Rey reverses into a pin for two, then a Mahistrol Cradle for 3 and its 1-1.

Very emotional and honestly just sad that Edge was forced to retire as he was still at the top of his game at this point.-4/25/11, Raw, A New Side of R-Truth: Great heel promo here by Truth as he had the crowd hating him but was so entertaining it was impossible for me to hate him. This started his best run in wrestling as he played a great heel to the hilt.-5/2/11, Raw, WWE Championship Match, John Cena (Champion) vs. The Miz w/Alex Riley: Right after winning the WWE title at Extreme Rules, The Miz gets his rematch and its a good contest.

Then Miz comes down and talks about how he also got screwed in his match with Alex Riley, which led to a great spat between all three. Tedd Long's music hit and he is able to make a match hence the following contest.The match itself is good as the pace doesn't really slow down, Cena and Miz face off then Orton takes it to Miz hitting a big clothesline out of the corner.

Not a bad match starts out with good mat wrestling and some snap arms drags by Daniel, Ted DiBiase comes to ringside to be in Rhodes corner and he gets a couple of cheap shots in on Bryan. Cody targets Daniel's neck and head, using the mask as a weapon with a couple of headbutts, Bryan comes back with some hard kicks, DiBiase interferes and gets a suicide dive for his troubles.

It ends with the mic being cut off which angers Punk and the fans. Great promo.-7/1/11, Smackdown, Christian vs. Sin Cara: There's the bad blue/orange lighting throughout the match, that being said its not a bad match, Christian takes it to Cara while the high flyer hits his usual hig impact moves and stiff kicks, but Christian launches him over the top to the floor then wears him down keeping him grounded but misses a diving headbutt.

John Cena, Sheamus and CM Punk come out to show their support and then this match is made. Its more of a segment than a match as soon after it begins Vince McMahon's music hits and he tells Triple H that because of the dangerous workplace that Raw has become that he is being relieved of being in charge of Raw. A new GM is introduced and that is John Laurenitis, which gets a massive chorus of boos.-10/21/11, Smackdown, Mask vs. Mask Match, Sin Cara Azul vs. Sin Cara Negro: From Mexico City we have a rarity on WWE TV as both masked men put their masks on the line to settle this feud. Its a good match mind you but that stupid blue and orange light really takes away from it, but that being said Cara Azul hits a big splash to the outside onto Cara Negro. Back from break Cara Negro works on the back, locking on a camel clutch and various submission moves. A series of close nearfalls occur shortly after with neither man staying down for three, Azul hits a head scissors into an arm bar and Negro taps out. 5/10, mainly for the lighting.

Punk tries to come back a couple of times but gets thwarted, Ziggler really takes it to the champ, locking on the sleeper hold but Punk doesn't tap out. Punk comes back with some good offense but can't keep Dolph down for three, Dolph counters the GTS with an overhead release slam for two.

Amazing

i love the wwe n i am a hardcore fan of it lol n u have too get this one but i wish undertaker wrestle in it tho.

Super coffret.En tant que fan de catch, je n'ai pu qu'apprécier.J'ai le souvenir d'avoir certains moments en direct.

Da ich früher ein Riesenfan von WWE war und ich damals die DvD Version von der Best of 2011 hatte, habe ich mir diese ältere Wrestling DvD auf BluRay zugelegt und ich kann nur sagen:So sollte WWE noch heute sein.Tolle Sequenzen, tolle Matches und vorallem abwechslungsreich.Eine 5☆ WWE DvD👍

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dieser Blu-ray .Man sieht viele RAW & SMACKDOWN für sein Geld.Da ich seit langem begeisteter Wrestling Fan bin habe ich mir gleich noch mehr Wrestling Blu-ray's bestellt.

Super Matches und die Bluray Extras sind auch sehr gut.Für den Preis kann man nichts falsch machen, vorallem da das Set fast 13 Stunden lang ist :)

Naja sind schon die Highlights 2011Was mich störtGerade im Vergleich zum 2010 er RückblickEs sind einfach nur aneinander gereihte HighlightsIm Jahr davor gabs vor jeden Monat ne Zusammenfassung und es wurde Einwendung auf storylines eingegangenDieses Jahr gar nichtDazu bis auf cm Punk und ChristianSticht niemand herausDaher nur 3 Sterne
