Superstars & Rey vs Drew

Chris Masters vs Tyler Reks, Superstars 3/10

Pretty great "Superstars-style" feud ender with Masters looking like the best babyface in the world. Reks was solid but still this is the sort of match Masters could have had with a number of guys. As usual Masters's offence and selling were great, but the best thing about this was how it was laid out. Started with a fired up Masters beating the shit out of Reks, before getting posted leading Reks in control, before Master's big comeback. Really liked Reks cutting Masters off during his big comeback too, as it had me thinking Masters was dead in the water. The finish was also fucking great.

Vladimir Kozlov vs Zack Ryder, Superstars 3/10

Kozlov's shoot takedowns and submission attempts were trippy as fuck, and his power-based offence looked devestating. Fun couple of minutes.

Mark Henry/The Great Khali/Natalya vs William Regal/Tyson Kidd/Melina, Superstars 3/10

Regal's reaction to getting tagged in and Kidd getting treated like a jobber were amusing, otherwise this was a waste.

Rey Mysterio vs Drew McIntyre, Smackdown 3/11

This was shorter than I'd have liked it to be, but fuck it was a great five minutes (the theme for Drew's year so far). Just a lot of good shit crammed into a short space of time; Drew leveling Rey at the bell and throwing him around like trash, the sequence with Rey following Drew out as he ducked the 619, the nasty backbreaker on the apron and Drew continuing to work the back after it, Drew avoiding Rey's predictable comeback routine, the 619 coming after Rey kicked Drew in the head rather than him limply flopping onto the second rope... good stuff.

Best Of 2011
