Dec. 25, 2013 - The Year That Was

This week in WWE, it was holiday season as various Christmas-themed matches took place on Raw.  The Divas all wore their Xmas attire for a Jingle Belles match.  Somewhere, Vince Russo got his Christmas wish as there was a Present-on-a-Pole Match won by Faaan...daaan...gooo.  And the fate of Christmas itself was on the line as the World's Strongest Santa took on Krampus Sandow, while the commentators completely failed to make a 'Singapore candy cane' pun the entire night.

There were also two excellent six-man tag-team matches, as Daniel Bryan and the Brothers Rhodes took on the Wyatt Family, and the super-team of Cena, Punk, and Big E Langston took on The Shield.

Down in NXT Land, it was NXT Rewind, as we looked back at the year that was and all the events that happened in NXT.  And Santa got my letter, as tonight, we get to see WILLIAM REGAL vs ANTONIO CESARO!!

Dec. 18, 2013 - NXT 200

This week in WWE, Randy Orton is now the WWE World Heavyweight Champion because calling him the 'Unified Champion' isn't pompous enough and calling him the 'Undisputed Champion' is insulting to Chris Jericho. The tag team division continues to heat up, while CM Punk called out the Authority for trying to sweep him under the rug and make him go away, getting on the bad side of HB-Shizzle while doing so.

And Daniel Bryan once again set the world on fire in an excellent main event match, proving he's capable of going toe-to-toe with anyone in the business, and Orton was only able to escape losing by uppercutting him in the ballbag.

Down in NXT Land, it was the 200th Episode of NXT!  Well, the 200th episode of the current, superior format. Challenges were issued! Championships were defended! And some doofus called Triple H dropped by.

Dec. 11, 2013 - Sami Zayn Will Not Go Away

This week in WWE, the Slammys were awarded, and there were many grievous oversights and snubs involved, as CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar wasn't nominated, as the Bellas were voted Diva of the Year over AJ Lee, and as the infamous "PAULCANO" rant from Paul Heyman rant was snubbed in favor of Dusty Rhodes' "huckleberry" quote.

The road to the Unified Championship heated up as both Randy Orton and John Cena gave great stump speeches, but all the WWE Universe cared about was one man: Daniel Bryan.  And all that The Authority cared about was making sure everyone knew that Triple H is "better" than everyone else.

Down in NXT Land, the Ascension continues its dominance of the tag team scene, Alexander Rusev brutalizes Kassius (oh, no!), the BFFs continue to make Bayley's life difficult, Mojo Rawley stays hyped, and Sami Zayn had to try to make it past the South African Nightmare, Leo Kruger.

Dec. 4, 2013 - Bo Gets Jumped By A Geordie

This week in WWE, the Authority punished the outspoken, as Daniel Bryan and CM Punk found themselves on collision courses with every member of the Wyatt Family and the Shield, respectively. Damien Sandow and Dolph Ziggler continued their interminable feud for mid-card king status. The tag-team scene continues to develop as "RybAxel" started picking up actual victories. And fans decided to call the man who wins at the main event of TLC the "Unified Champion."  Because f**k you, Chris Jericho did it first and did it better.

Mistico apparently also left and someone else is wearing the Sin Cara mask, but no one really cares.

Down in NXT Land, Aiden English continues his magnum opus against one of These Guys, Antonio Cesaro and Leo Kruger are Up To Something, and Adrian Neville challenges Bo Dallas for the NXT Championship.
