WWE.COM'S TOP 25 MATCHES OF 2010

They actually did a pretty great job. The matches came from all over the year, from PPV, TV, with no real glaring omissions. Maybe DiBiase/Bryan from Survivor Series or Miz/Bryan from Night of Champions, but how many Daniel Bryan matches can you have in this thing? The answer is 25. But let's ignore that for now.

For those of you too lazy to click the link, here's what WWE.com had to say.

THE TOP 25 WWE MATCHES OF 2010

25. Alberto Del Rio VS. Rey Mysterio - SmackDown, Oct. 8th

8. SmackDown Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Kane VS. Big Show VS. Kofi Kingston VS. Drew McIntyre VS. Christian VS. Matt Hardy VS. Dolph Ziggler VS. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes - Money In The Bank

7. Chris Jericho VS. Evan Bourne - Fatal 4-Way

6. Team WWE VS. The Nexus - SummerSlam

5. SmackDown Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker VS. Chris Jericho VS. John Morrison VS. R-Truth VS. CM Punk VS. Rey Mysterio - Elimination Chamber

4. Hair vs. Pledge: CM Punk VS. Rey Mysterio - Extreme Rules

3. I Quit Match for the WWE Championship: John Cena VS. Batista - Over The Limit

2. Streak vs. Career: Shawn Michaels VS. The Undertaker - WrestleMania XXVI

2. (TIE) Champion vs. Champion: Dolph Ziggler VS. Daniel Bryan - Bragging Rights

Pretty shocking tie for first. And there's a tie for most appearances in the top 25, with Mysterio, Cena and Jericho all with 6. And I'd say Evan Bourne is a big standout, considering he made the list twice without being in any of the big multi-man gimmick matches either.

PIZZABODYSLAM POWER POLL VOTES: 07/21/10

1. Randy Orton

- IN KAYFABE: Def. Jericho and Edge to earn a shot at Sheamus' WWE Title at SummerSlam, was essentially the runner-up to the RAW MITB.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Unites children and smart mark dinks across the world - nay - UNIVERSE, moves like Michael Jackson when he's fired up.

2. The Miz

- IN KAYFABE: Won the RAW MITB, dressed down the WWE Champion without blinking.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Cut three promos on two shows with more conviction than Daniel Day Lewis.

3. Kane

- IN KAYFABE: Beat the shit out of a man's FATHER, won the SD! MITB, cashed-in that night to become the World Champion.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Didn't cry this week!

4. Sheamus

- IN KAYFABE: Retained his WWE Title, def. Evan Bourne.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Sold the SHIT out of the suitcase-aided Skull-Crushing Finale, yelled at girls.

5. Evan Bourne

- IN KAYFABE: Losing effort in the RAW MITB, def. by Sheamus.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Lit up the MITB match with a flash-SSP to Randy Orton, is still one of the most exciting wrestlers anywhere right now - his style sets up apart from anyone in the WWE.

6. Rey Mysterio

- IN KAYFABE: Saved Kane from Swagger's ankle lock, def. Swagger to retain the WHC, def. by Kane when he cashed in his MITB contract.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Put on the best match of the Money In The Bank PPV with Swagger, touches heads with children and it is adorable.

7. Jack Swagger

- IN KAYFABE: Turned his back on his DADDY, def. by Rey Mysterio.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Put on the best match of the Money In The Bank PPV with Mysterio, still manages to bleed from the mouth in every match he's in from biting down on that Cable Guy (dated reference?) lisp-inducing tongue of his.

8. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes

- IN KAYFABE: DASHING

- OUT OF KAYFABE: DASHING

9. Chris Jericho

- IN KAYFABE: Lost at MITB, Lost on RAW, joined Team Cena to fight Skrulls! I mean Nexus.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Bickered with Edge like he forgot to pick up milk on his way home, is still the best in the world at what he does (hilarious cowardly gloating).

10. Vegetative Undertaker

- IN KAYFABE: Remained a vegetable.

- OUT OF KAYFABE: Motivated his baby bro to a World Title! That's what brothers of destruction are for.
