[2012-12-24-WWE-Raw] John Cena vs Alberto Del Rio (Miracle on 34th Street Fight)

[GOTNW]

A master class in overreacting and siliness. Even if it isn't a match that manages to maintain its charm so successfully nn rewatches I'm not sure there's a pro wrestling match that better encapsulates the idea of a wrestling match intertwined with Christmas themes. The match itself is structured like a cartoon fight, and you can see the transitions coming, although the novelty of the ridiculousness should overwhelm that on your first watch. I'm leaning towards including it even if it didn't completely live to my very fond memories of it-but then again all jokes lose their charm after repetition.
