I think we can all agree that the best news to come out of these spoilers is the return of "didn't know he wasn't on the PPV" R-Truth.

[DAMN iNATOR]

silk needs to make Clerks day and create the ***OFFICIAL *** thread.

[Corndad]

So still no Traditional Series match made unless one is made on the spot Sunday with no build up. :nono:

That's like having Hell in A Cell PPV with no Cell match.

Kinda hope Truth just shows up assuming he is in one Sunday lol

[Big Vic]

I think survivor Series 2002, or 03 had no traditional matches either.

WWE decided for some random reason it was better to announce the 5v5 match on their own website than on Smackdown.

One of the hallmarks of WWE’s fall classic — the Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Match — will take place this Sunday, live on WWE Network at Survivor Series, WWE.com has learned. The match participants are not yet known at this juncture ...

Stick with WWE.com for more details on this huge Survivor Series match announcement as updates become available.

If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is

Most anticipated match of the card.

[erickman]

and it does not even say who will be in the 5 on 5 match

[The CyNick]

I think the tournament screwed up their build to a traditional Survivor Series match. There's really no point to having one this year other than tradition and just to have one. There's really nothing left of The Authority, and with the injuries there's no real meat to the match.

I have no problem announcing one later because the card is already full, it's just going to be a throw away match. Only good that can come off it, will be if they can manage to get one guy over in the match (i.e. Cesaro).

This is really true. They couldn't really announce a match with anyone even remotely interesting--or at least a full 10 man tag's worth--while the tournament was still going on, unless they were going to announce it as like Team Ryder vs. Team Slater. If they announced it and included anyone like Cesaro, Neville, Ziggler, that would pretty much have killed any of the minor mystery surrounding the tournament matches.

They could have announced something on Smackdown obviously but there still wouldn't be much verve to it.

[Droford]

5 on 5 match guarantee

New Day (Big E and Kofi), Stardust and The Ascension vs Dudleys, Usos and Neville

[Ruien]

Doubt Ryback will be left out. And Cesaro is a must for the ppv.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Sucks that Truth has been so criminally overlooked in the last 4-5 years. Opening segment tonight made me honestly think I would really dig seeing a feud between him and someone. I have no clue who, exactly, but it did bring back my nostalgia over his 2011 (I think) feud with Cena over the WWE title.

Note I'm not saying he should ever necessarily win the big one, not without at the very least several months-1 year + of building him as a credible main eventer, but he'd help freshen the main event and/or title scenes again, IMHO.

[hb2k]

Agree wholeheartedly - that brief heel run where he was absolutely out of his mind was consistently entertaining, would be great in the midcard.

[Mr. Nerfect]

My big problem with Truth's heel run in 2011 was that I thought he was getting too old to run with the belt. He's still going four years later. They probably should have done more with that in retrospect...

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Miz isn't doing anything at all either. Why not stick them back together as a team? That's where The Miz shines best.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was thinking that the 5 vs. 5 match was going to be Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Neville & The Dudleys vs. Sheamus, King Barrett, Tyler Breeze, The Miz & Stardust -- but apparently Ziggler and Breeze are having a singles match now? Probably going to be Sheamus, Barrett & New Day against Cesaro, Neville, Titus (because they seem to want to give him some publicity) and The Dudleys. Or something like that. R-Truth would make sense after SmackDown. It seems like a random occasion to use him.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Of course they should've done more with it. That was the whole point of my post, and exactly what I was lamenting in it. He could've at LEAST been given another couple PPVs (as opposed to just the 1) to be CHASING the WWE gold.

Wasn't that right before Punks run?

[Ultra Mantis]

To be fair it was R-Truth's fault for getting depushed, since he got caught smoking synthetic while he was in the middle of a huge "main event" feud with The Rock and Cena.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, good point.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wasn't that right before Punks run?

It was ~ 4-5 months or so before. Capitol Punishment, I believe.

[Simple Fan]

Truth delivered the best promo of the tournament and isn't even in it. Really though they could USD that as a push have him come out all the time thinking goes in big matches while also haveing matches of his own. Then one time he comes out thinking he's in a main event and they actually put him in it and he wins. Or they put him in it and he forgets he was in the match and doesn't show.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is this an official page? Ohhhhhhhhhhh No!

[Mr. Nerfect]

R-Truth would make a natural enemy or ally of The New Day. In some ways, so would Damien Sandow & Curtis Axel. I mean, it's only really Axel that has the connection to Kofi Kingston in that duo, but Big E did beat The Axeman for the IC Title. Sandow can match his wits against Xavier Woods. R-Truth has tag team history with both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. I'd suggest putting The Awesome Truth back together and running with Sandow & Axel as a proper tag team.
