So, I got really, really bored today, and decided that I was going to review the year in 2012 for the WWE. This is taken from a combination of sources, but mainly from The Wrestling Observer, and TheHistoryofWWE.com.
A couple of things that I want to clarify ahead of time;
1. It's possible that there were some matches missing. This is a collective report from house show results, Monday Night Raw, Smackdown, Main Event, Saturday Morning Slam, and Pay Per View Events, and includes dark matches as best as possible.
2. Where people had more than one identity (El Local=Ricardo Rodriguez, Skip Sheffield = Ryback), I combined them. If you see Ryback, assume that there were probably some matches that he had as Skip Sheffield that affect his win/loss percentage. I believe he's the only notable character that went through massive a name change mid year.
3. Numbers are rounded, when necessary. No way I'm writing 90.52% and the like for wrestlers. When draws occur, consider it a thrown out match; a draw doesn't count for, or against the win percentage you see on the right.
4. For frivolous purposes, I also included when a wrestler won a battle royal.
