It’s no secret that time runs faster in WWE’s world than it does in our reality outside WWE’s elaborate storylines and havoc-inducing madness. From The Rock’s groundbreaking return to the ring to CM Punk’s insane hijacking of the WWE Championship, and from Vince McMahon ”retiring” to Kane making an epic comeback with his mask on, 2011 has been chaotic, unpredictable, and very entertaining. We can sit here and complain all we want, but there were some events in 2011 that will echo throughout WWE’s history for years to come. In the end, that’s all that matters. Here’s to hoping 2012 is bigger and better than 2011 was.

As for this site, I figured the best way to look back at the year is to glance at the 10 Best Wallpapers of 2011. Keep in mind that these DO NOT include the matchcard wallpapers. I ranked these according to popularity, visits, and social activity. Without further ado…here are the 10 Best Wallpapers of 2011! More

The Beast Has Returned to Unleash Hellfire & Brimstone!
I realize some of you may not have been fans back when Kane originally wore a mask. You may have seen videos online or on DVDs or seen pictures of the Big Red ‘Masked’ Machine. I watched Kane when he had a full mask on in the late 90′s. And I watched as he slowly regained his voice. And then I saw him return to destroy the Un-Americans one night, while debuting his ‘half-mask‘. Then in 2003, one of WWE’s longest-running secrets was shattered when Kane was forced to remove his mask and expose his face to the world. Hence started an 8-year era of the new Kane. Some say the mask held him back, and he was truly unleashed once it came off. But as a longtime Kane fan let me assure you, the mask isn’t a prison. It’s what makes Kane a monster. Without the mask Kane is a brawler, but with it he’s a beast. Now nearly a decade later, the dreaded mask has resurfaced, bringing with it a new breed of Kane that the WWE roster has yet to face!

I’ve waited for a lot of ‘dream match-ups’ to happen over the last few years. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels was one of them, and fortunately we got to see it happen not once, but twice. Seeing Triple H battle Undertaker at WrestleMania 27 was awesome as well. And now, at Survivor Series, I’ll get to see the in-ring return of The Rock, something I’ve waited for ever since he had his last match in the very same building at WrestleMania XX. Granted, this isn’t a ‘dream match’ setup by far, but it’s epic nonetheless. Predictions ahead :
