Quite a difficult one, but I've ended up going with the majority and choosing Punk/Cena.
-------------------- QUOTE (Jaffa) If you're having that, i'll go with The Miz making an appearance as Les Miz, complete with costume and songs. Also, Roman Reigns needs to rip off Khal Drogo and become a Dothraki warrior. |

Um, hang on.
Bully Ray v Styles got plenty more nominations than the Destination X spotfest. As did HHH v Nash. Why are they not on the poll? -------------------- |

Dunno if you're right or not but it's massively irrelevant this year I think.

Haven't had time to rewatch but liked all the WWE matches first time around although Undertaker vs Triple H was the least of the four for me.
Not sure about the TNA ones being amongst the six best of 2011. Watched the Destination X X Division match last night. It's entertaining enough for what it is, features a couple of guys I really rate and is a pretty good example of the style. Call me old fashioned but I still find it hard to compare that with top matches from WWE this past year. Same with Hogan/Sting which was an incredible performance in terms of working the crowd. In some ways that's the aim of all wrestling - getting people to buy into what you're selling them. I agree it doesn't all have to be about bumping (Edge/Ziggler), big moves (Taker/HHH; X Division match), over finishers (Cena/Punk; Orton/Christian; Taker/HHH), cool reversal spots (Orton/Christian; Edge/Ziggler) or feeling like an 'epic' (Cena/Punk; Taker/HHH) to be a good match. So I can see why people like it but again find it hard to compare to the very best WWE matches. I just feel the best match of the year should have something more. -------------------- “Boy, these two young twenty one year old kids in their early twenties are unbelievable!” (Jim Ross, Raw 13/12/99)
