I'll go back as far as when I began watching. There are some parts in the middle where I am a bit sketchy (no sky Crying or Very sad ) but feel free to share yours.

1992 - Randy Savage
1993 - Bret Hart
1994 - Bret Hart
1995 - Diesel
1996 - Shawn Michaels / Stone Cold
1997 - Bret Hart / Stone Cold. Both of these years too close to call.
1998 - Stone Cold
1999 - Vince McMahon. Controversial as he is not a wrestler, but Mr McMahon was born this year.
2000 - Triple H
2001 - Stone Cold
2002 - The Rock
2003 - The Rock
2004 - Chris Benoit
2005 - Batista
2006 - John Cena
2007 - Edge
2008 - John Cena
2009 - John Cena
2010 - Randy Orton
2011 - CM Punk

Doesn't look very good for a 12 year old does he?

Mr McMahon was born in the WWF in 1997 although the character itself was born in 93

I'd say Hogan's year was 87 and Savages year was definitely 88

I was ummming and ahhhhhing on that one gaff. I think Andre being heel and breaking out from the 'cuddly' giant character was massive.

Yeah it was to be fair, pity he just hardly did anything, although in those days you could get awat with that, I think 88 was definitely be Saveage's though

I think you have convinced me on the 1988 argument. I think I must have given to Hogan as a token gesture for missing out on 1987.

Yeah I think that's why he's my 87 to be honest, Savage was awesome in 86, he really was and I can't see past Piper for 85 so apart from 84 I kinda felt obliged to give him a second year

Gaffer's list is bang on apart from 2010 which I'd give to Kane. Holding the WHC from MITB all the way to TLC and his promo work with Taker was top drawer.

If HBK got your vote purely for Jan to April gaffer, did you not consider Batista who was also superb in that period?

I did consider Batista although I didn't really rate his run until the Elimination Chamber and I hated how he was booked after Mania so in essence for me he only really had those five weeks from EC to Mania, Kane was another I considered but I just couldn't pick his run at the top over Shawns, that was the story that made Mania for me

Mr H and gaffer, how about Edge? Royal Rumble winner and great feud with Jericho?

Good shouts for Kane and HBK though

Not even Heenan could save Luger in the WWE.

Though I liked the Allied Powers.

I didn't rate it all to be honest, I felt Edge was rushed back way to early in order to give us a shock return and also to set up the Mania match with Jericho but he was still clearly unfit, he was slow and flabby, I also didn't like their Mania match and felt their cage re-match lost all momentum when they took the title out of the equation, the only thing I liked about their feud was Jericho won the title match at Mania

Also he was stuck in limbo for most of the year, he came back in an awkward face turn, then he got drafted to RAW and turned heel on Orton, then he was expected to play face against Nexus then turned face on a laptop before being hotshotted back to SD where he finally looked fit and healthy in his feud with Kane at the end of the year

I just didn't rate it

Gaffer list is pretty full proof although are we completely dismissing other organisations?

If not Flair must have a case in the mid 80's

I'd argue Bret Hart had a better 92 than Flair. Carried Piper to his best match ever at Mania 8, the classic at Wembley with Bulldog & ended the year dethroning Flair as world champ

Hogan has got to have a shout at 96.

Brady I just used the WWF/E since the original post was just WWF/E

Bret is a good shout for 92, it came down to a straight choice between him and Flair for me but with his two matches with Savage, his matches with Piper and Hart and his Royal Rumble performance, not to mention he was only the second guy to win two WWF World Titles inside a calander year and his promos, particularly in tne lead up to SummerSlam whenhe didn't even have a match and his association with Heenan, Perfect and Razor swayed it for me.

Ent, Mankind's I Quit match was in 99

Prety much the same as Gaffers list for me apart from The Miz in 2010 imo.

Also a toss up between Benoit and Eddie Gurerro in 2004.

Mackem I think you've trumped me with both of those shouts, also, JBL must be in with a shout for 04 as well but I think from 'Show-Miz' to the whole Danielson thing on NXT1 then with Riley on NXT2 and the US Title run to winning MitB to actually winning the World Title.

Excellent shout mate

Benoit & Eddy could be a good debate for 04 though

Ent, Mankind's I Quit match was in 99

Makes my suggestion redundant then...

Here's a question, should the wrestling calendar be from mania to mania and would that change many of the eople chosen?

Yeah mate... but we've had the rub of the green so much over the years I think someone is due it back against us so cant have any complaints... Not finishing our chances cost us... Your looking good to challenge for a UEFA spot. Ba has given you a cutting edge, Ben Arfa looks a class act. Pardew is doing a bloody great job considering Ashley went for the cheap option again

When Pardew was appointed i was one of many who wasnt at all happy but i cant be anything but impressed with him. He's ice cool, says all the right things and has created a team spirit. Ba on a free is a steal and Cabaye looks decent in the middle but our back 5 have been immense. Coloccini is class and Tim Krul will be Dutch No1. I'm still being realistic in thinking a top half finish would be a great achievement for us, but if we bolster the squad in January then who knows.
