That's right, I'm back at it, ladies and gentlemen. After the warm reception I got over the "Best of... 2013" project, I figure I needed to take a moment (or a few hours) and reflect on another period of time in the community: 2012.
Now, this time, it's a little harder for me. Besides having to back-track through so much history, there's a lot that I'll probably miss. As far as I'm concerned, the only guilds that were fully active during 2012 are EWA, WWE:E, and WWF:G. (But Matt, what about CWA? They're getting their own "Best of..." probably, don't worry.) If there's another guild that was really active during this time, please let me know and I will search through it as well!
Also, as some of you probably know, I wasn't remotely active during 2012. I don't know what to look for here. I don't know the big matches or promos. I'm literally searching through and trying to find it all by hand once more. Chances are, I'll probably find most of it, but also miss some things. Like last time, anything you felt I missed or wanted to add in yourself, just link me!
Finally, I'm presenting a challenge to you. You saw the "Storylines" section that never got filled out, right? I want to change that. I want there to be a storyline section, full of every detail of the storylines that were prominent in 2012! However, I'm probably not going to go through the trouble of finding every detail of -your- storyline, since I'm already finding all these matches and promos; not to be a d**k, but it's a rough task. You know what works were involved in the stories, I don't. If you can organize the links to your own story chronologically and PM it to me or post it here, I'll definitely highlight it!
Finally (finally), there's only one rule. The start of the threads will have to have been between January 1st, 2012 to December 31, 2012. I doubt I'll be making any exceptions to this rule.

Now, this time, it's a little harder for me. Besides having to back-track through so much history, there's a lot that I'll probably miss. As far as I'm concerned, the only guilds that were fully active during 2012 are EWA, WWE:E, and WWF:G. (But Matt, what about CWA? They're getting their own "Best of..." probably, don't worry.) If there's another guild that was really active during this time, please let me know and I will search through it as well!

Like last time, anything you felt I missed or wanted to add in yourself, just link me!
Finally, I'm presenting a challenge to you. You saw the "Storylines" section that never got filled out, right? I want to change that. I want there to be a storyline section, full of every detail of the storylines that were prominent in 2012! However, I'm probably not going to go through the trouble of finding every detail of -your- storyline, since I'm already finding all these matches and promos; not to be a d**k, but it's a rough task. You know what works were involved in the stories, I don't. If you can organize the links to your own story chronologically and PM it to me or post it here, I'll definitely highlight it!
Finally (finally), there's only one rule. The start of the threads will have to have been between January 1st, 2012 to December 31, 2012. I doubt I'll be making any exceptions to this rule.
Matches: [The matches that really displayed how well our community can work together. Or made your really go "WOW! That was awesome!" I don't need to explain this one to you!]
Promos: [We all know what this is. Solo works, hype videos, etc.]
Segments: [Things that aren't your typical promo. Backstage stuff, .com exclusives, so on.]
Storylines: [This section is pending, as I would require every link involved in the story, not just the final match. If you need a reference, cite Matt Shanahan's storyline section of his profile. If people present me with such though, I'll totes mcgotes add it.]
