Wrestling highlight of 2012

What was your favourite wrestling moment of 2012?
Be it from WWE, TNA, ROH etc.
Was it a match, a particular spot, a promo?

To start things off I'm going to choose the entire 2012 WWE Extreme Rules PPV.
Sheer brilliance, in particular the Y2J vs Punk match for the WWE title, and the rip-roaring brawl between Lesnar and Cena in the main event.

I've watched very little this year compared to past years over the past two decades! Namely the second half of the year.

But for me, Ziggler winning MITB, Extreme Rules PPV (Cena winning aside, ugh), Jericho's return and the 6 man tag match at TLC (first match I had watched in 4-5 months) were the highlights of this year. I'm sure one or two others will jolt my memory with other notable moments this year though.

Lesnar returning was brilliant.

There have been better matches, but I don't think I've flat out enjoyed a match this year more than this:

Ye it was Lesnar's return for me too. The rush I got when his music hit it was like being a kid again.

the SCM/Pedigree combo at Mania, the mark in me honestly though that was the end of the streak.

Austin Aries winning the TNA title. shame they put the belt on Hardy so soon after.

the first Kane/Bryan counselling session skit, as soon as it happened I knew we were heading for a great few months of an "odd couple" tag team.

highlights were
* raw after mania 28, better show than the ppv that preceded it
* extreme rules
* joe park/bully ray feud
* austin aries title winning celebration
* ric flair return to raw
* tanahashi v Suzuki at kings of pro wrestling
* cm punk turning heel on rock
* ryback/hell no vs shield

but my favourite moment of 2012 is something that didn't air on tv at all, i was lucky enough to be one of the people that stayed behind after raw ended on april 2nd in miami, the night that the power of the people stopped vince and hhh from totally burying bryan (which was the plan), sheamus was supposed to close the show with a promo that night and sheamus vs del rio was meant be whc match at extreme rules

Bryan being the most over person in wrestling and proving he is good on the mic

Being at Wrestlemania in Miami, that whole weekend was a dream come true for me. The HIAC match, Daniel Bryan being so over and YES! chants everywhere you went all weekend, and going apesh*t when Lesnar returned made it all extra special.

In this day and age having someone hold a title belt(Nevermind the fact it was the WWE title) that lasted a year where nearly all the big feuds were unpredictable(Jericho, Bryan, Ryback, Cena. All could have realistically won the title) along with fantastic matches was the definite highlight of 2012 for me. It may not be one single moment(If i had to pick one thought it would be the post Wrestlemania RAW where YES-amainia ran wild) but it definitely made 2012 for me.

I quite enjoyed seeing the return of the y2j persona just before jericho left
