I wouldn’t say to go out of your way to watch this, but Royal Rumble 2011 is better than its reputation suggests and is worth checking out.

With one great Chamber match and quality action elsewhere on the card, Elimination Chamber 2011 makes for a surprisingly enjoyable DVD viewing experience.

With a few exciting encounters and several title changes, Extreme Rules 2011 flies under the radar a bit, but is actually one of the year’s better events.

Over The Limit 2011 had one classic match and one poor main event.

Capitol Punishment 2011 isn’t the complete flop that people would have you believe, but it’s hardly a superb event either.

Money In The Bank 2011 is more than worthy of the top-level praise it has been awarded in the years since it took place.

With several enjoyable matches and a fair amount of unpredictability, TLC 2011 is well worth reliving on DVD (unless you’re a John Cena fan).

Survivor Series 2011 is a memorable card and one that justifies a second home viewing.

The ring implosion and the main event are worth checking out, but otherwise Vengeance 2011 ultimately proves to be just another PPV.

There aren’t any really good bouts at all at Hell In A Cell 2011, and neither of the championship rivalries warranted the huge cage.

As a fairly memorable event with some strong action, Night Of Champions 2011 is worth another viewing on DVD.

SummerSlam 2011 is a high-quality event overall, and is one of the hidden gems from the event’s legacy down the years.

Royal Rumble 2012 is a somewhat underwhelming card, especially given the high stakes of this annual tradition. So, while you’ll definitely find some moments to enjoy from watching the show, I wouldn’t suggest that you should go out of your way to see it.

Elimination Chamber 2012 is not poor from an in-ring standpoint, for the three major matches anyway. But if you chose to skip it/not watch it, you’re not really missing anything.

The finish of the last match aside, Extreme Rules 2012 is a great show on the whole, and is well worth checking out on DVD.

Ignoring the main event, Over The Limit 2012 is really good, and Punk-Bryan is a must-watch. Cena-Laurinaitis drags things down, though, meaning that by watching this DVD, you will see the very best and the very worst of WWE from that era.

When The Rock and Brock Lesnar weren’t around, the 2012 WWE product wasn’t particularly interesting at all, as this PPV demonstrates. It’s not a terrible card by any means, but hardly anything sticks out when all is said and done.

This will inevitably be compared to the Money In The Bank card from a year earlier, and as a result, it comes across as inferior. But the first Ladder match is great, Punk vs. Bryan is very exciting and the headline bout does have its moments.

This is an odd show. The opener and the main event are excellent, but the crowd reactions couldn’t be any more different. While the action is largely adequate for the bouts in between, nothing truly leaves a lasting memory.

If you want to relive a time when Cena had a cool and relatable gimmick, you may wish to watch this DVD, but it is definitely far from a classic release from the Ruthless Aggression era.
