Brands collide as teams of five strive to survive
November 27, 2005


The recent rivalry between RAW and SmackDown will come to a bitter head on Thanksgiving weekend, as the 19th annual Survivor Series serves as the stage for one of the biggest battles in sports-entertainment history.
After SmackDown and RAW traded attacks on each other's home turf, Eric Bischoff challenged Theodore Long to settle the score in a 5-on-5 Classic Survivor Series Match. Long accepted the challenge and the match was set for Nov. 27.
On the Nov. 7 edition of RAW, Bischoff announced that World Tag Team Champions Big Show & Kane and team captain Shawn Michaels were his first three team members. Later that night, Carlito defeated Shelton Benjamin to earn the fourth spot. Later on, WWE.com announced that Chris Masters was named as the fifth member of the team. That same week on Friday Night SmackDown, Long announced that his quintet would be captained by World Heavyweight Champion Batista. It was later announced that joining The Animal would be Randy Orton, JBL, Rey Mysterio and Lashley.
SmackDown carries the momentum into Survivor Series, having gone 2-for-2 in inter-promotional matches at Taboo Tuesday on Nov. 1. Can Theodore Long's brand keep the hot streak going and come away from Survivor Series as victors, or will Eric Bischoff's RAW bounce back from its Taboo Tuesday losses?

The same night that Bischoff made his challenge, Theodore Long made one of his own: a battle between the General Managers. Bischoff accepted, and he and Long will go one on one at Survivor Series on Nov. 27. Which General Manager will prove to be the top dog? <SCRIPT type=text/javascript>DisplayAd("LargeBody");</SCRIPT><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR class=even><TD><SCRIPT language=JavaScript><!--var plugin=(navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"])?(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin):(0);if(plugin){plugin=parseInt(plugin.description.substring(plugin.description.index Of(".")-1))>=6;}else if(navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("msie")>=0 && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 95")>=0 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 98")>=0 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows NT")>=0)){document.writeln('<SCR'+'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\>');document.writeln('on error resume next');document.writeln('plugin=(IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6")))');docume nt.writeln('</SCR'+'IPT\>');}var pr_redir='$CTURL$';var pr_redir_def='~';var pr_bust=Math.random();var pr_pos='';if(typeof(prInst)=='undefined'){var prInst=1}else{prInst++}if(!plugin){pr_pos='&pos=g'}var prs="ads.PointRoll.com/PRServe/?ad=407D952005111902054"+pr_pos+"&pub=wwf&num="+prInst+"&size=300_250&code=no&hide=~&redir="+pr_redi r+"&defredir="+pr_redir_def+"&bu="+pr_bust+"&r="+Math.random();document.write("<scr"+"ipt language='JavaScript' src="http://"+prs+""></scr"+"ipt>");//--></SCRIPT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

The war between Kurt Angle and John Cena has escalated in the past couple months. The WWE Champion thought that he finished the Olympic Gold Medalist once and for all at Taboo Tuesday, where he won a Triple Threat Match over Angle and Shawn Michaels. However, on the Nov. 7 edition of RAW, Eric Bischoff announced that they would square off one more time for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. Angle holds several victories over Cena in recent weeks, including a RAW tag team match where hand-picked referee Daivari helped Angle & Chris Masters defeat Cena & HBK by disqualification. On the Nov. 21 edition of RAW, Angle announced that Daivari was now his personal referee, and would be officiating the WWE Championship Match at Survivor Series. Will Cena overcome the odds and his adversary one more time on Nov. 27, or will Angle leave Survivor Series a five-time WWE Champion?
Also, Triple H and Ric Flair will go toe to toe in a Last Man Standing Match at Survivor Series. Since Triple H attacked Flair at WWE Homecoming, The Game and the "Nature Boy" have been at each other's throats constantly. At Taboo Tuesday, the fans granted Flair's wish, and he defeated Triple H in a Steel Cage Match to retain the Intercontinental Championship. Can the "Dirtiest Player in the Game" prevail one more time, or will the Cerebral Assassin find a way to even the score at Survivor Series?
The Women's Championship could be moving to SmackDown after Survivor Series, as Trish Stratus will face Melina for the gold on Nov. 27. After eliminating Trish to win an inter-promotional Diva Battle Royal on the Nov. 14 edition of RAW, Melina had MNM abduct Trish the next week. Melina then challenged Trish to a championship match, which Trish accepted. Will Melina further her claim of being the dominant Diva, or will the fans get some Stratusfaction at Survivor Series?
To find out who will come out on top, be sure to tune into Survivor Series on Nov. 27, live on pay-per-view from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Stay tuned to WWE.com as more information and matches are announced for the Thanksgiving weekend spectacular.

So....is anyone going to watch this? Should be one of the years best shows with all the interpromotional matches.

I'm watching. I really don't give a shit who wins the main event, though.

I have no clue who is going over in that one.

The thing about it is, it doesn't matter who goes over. I respect the fact that they're trying to make Raw v. Smackdown look like WWE v. WCW, but it's just not the same at all.

Yeah, really, it seems that they're trying to do the Invasion right. Only problem is that they're almost five years too late.

Is there nobody else here watching?

probably not cause nobody gives a shit about the WWE anymore.

I think their are only three people watching...

I don't really care who wins this particular match either. You KNOW it's going to go at least seven matches, so this one is pretty much just cannon fodder. Still, not a bad match so far though. Slow, but not bad.

Slow is good, but I have no intrest either, 6 to go so this one doesn't matter.

This is going to be a long night...

What's the Smackdown side of this card looking like besides this? I've been paying very little attention.

Six matches tonight in total.

Benoit/Booker
Trish/Melina
Teddy long/Bischoff
Flair/H (last man standing)
Angle/Cena
SS match RAW/SD!

Teddy Long can't wrestle for dick.

Im watching: Booker T just beat benoit with a roll up with help from Sharmell

I might as well say hi.

So what is happening at the moment?

Vince Mcmahon to Cena: Keep it up my nigga :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Tell me he did NOT just say that!

So yeah, if Melina wins, does the title go to Smackdown?

Next up: Trish vs Melina

BTW Booker appeared on screen after Mcmahon made that comment: Tell me he didn't say that!!!!!!!

He has had more matches than Bischoff. Dont forget about his carrer as a manager in WCW.

You have got to be shitting me.

BTW Booker appeared on screen after Mcmahon made that comment: Tell me he didn't say that!!!!!!!

Haha.

So yeah, if Melina wins, does the title go to Smackdown?

On Smackdown and Velocity they say it does.

That means nothing. Think about all the matches Kevin Nash had and how bad they remained during the duration of his career.

I'm not exactly sure where they're going with Mickie James, but for that reason, I'm enjoying it. That was a pretty decent match right there.

Trish beats Melina with a top rope bulldog :(. MNM was sent to the back early in the match for attempting the snapshot on Trish but the ref caught it

LOL, too true.

Dmitri Young at ringside. For those that don't know who he is he plays for the Detroit Tigers and is best known for beating up a mascot with a baseball bat back when he was with the Reds

Flair v. HHH

I say Triple H takes it.

I live in Cincinnati, and I remember Dmitri Young would wear a Wolfpac shirt under his jersey and he would give Sean Casy and Adam Dunn the nWo finger touch thing.

Agreed, HHH has lost his last 4 PPV matches and I can't see a fifth.

It's game time!!!!!

Do any last man standing matches actually end in any thing other than a double 10 count? I just can't remember the last time that happened.

Yeah, there was that one time when somebody won, I think.

H has got this in the bag.

That's true but I think this is where HHH goes back to main eventing with a total beatdown of the nature boy. Another dead give away is that this isn't for the IC title I believe....

Edit: Yep, the King just stated it no IC belt on the line

Do any last man standing matches actually end in any thing other than a double 10 count?

What happened with Kane and Shane?

LOL. I know you joking but Shane McMahon beat the Big Show, just to name one.

I believe Kane took that after dismantling Shane

Styles is the man. Just thought I'd say that. No particular reason.

funny thing is... i just watched the damn dvd with that match, kane won it cause shane took one HELL of a Sick bump off the tron or whatever the stuff is besides the tron, i call it "rigging" cause that what i know it as.
anyway, shane does a leap of faith off it, MISSES kane and basicly hands kane the match.

It must be a BITCH for Flair to wash his hair after he blades.

H beat Foley in a last man standing.

ftr

Shit, they grabbed a freakin screw driver in this match :wtf: . Flair is busted open terribly but what's new with that :lol:

Do any last man standing matches actually end in any thing other than a double 10 count? I just can't remember the last time that happened.

So, to conclude -- yes.

No disrespect to Flair as he is a legend but grabbing a guys nuts is pretty homo in any situation and holding them for a distinct period of time is even worse

He is reinstating himself as the "dirtiest player in the game".

Testicular Claw!

How good is the match?

Not too shabby.

3 pedigree's and Flair keeps getting up here comes the sledgehammer and wham to the back of the neck and that's it. It's all about the game!!!!!!!!! :y: :y: HHH WINS!!!!

lmao @ Booker saying "tell me he did not just say that?!" when Vince told Cena "keep it up my nigga"

H wins for the first time in Servivor Series history!

Solid match. Not legendary, but solid.

Better than their Taboo Tuesday match?

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

Annnd it's Edge now...

Eh, tied I'd say. Maybe better by a hair.

Well the usual city bad mouthing by Edge in his new segment called the "cutting edge"

Massive Angle chants!

Just curious was the IC title on the line in HHH vs. Flair?

And if not do you think they played the beating up enough that he may forefit the belt?

Just curious was the IC title on the line in HHH vs. Flair?

Apparently The King said it wasn't.

No
No

I'd say "No" and "Maybe". That'd be a good way to get the title off of him without him having to job.

I've been watching Survivor Series 92 :cool:

Such awesome booking with the whole Perfect storyline back then.

Alright, its a shame the belt didnt change hands though, anyone evetualy going over Trips for that would get a huge rub.

:lol: Boogeyman appears gives Bischoff a pump handle slam(move looked like shit) and Teddy pins for the win

What was the crowd reaction like?

Barely no reaction they were so bored with the match that they just wanted it over and the quicker the better and I agree with them.

Boring chants for the GM match.

I think this was a line:

"Who the hell are you and why are you talking" - Tazz referring to Styles.

is it over?

http://www.sendspace.com/file/t8um4z

So far: Lashley eliminated by a Kane chokeslam, Kane eliminated by a Batista spine buster, Batista eliminated by a double chokeslam by Kane and Batista, Big Show eliminated by Rey after two clothslines from hell and RKO and finally a 619.

3 vs 3 left. Orton, JBL,Mysterio vs HBK, Carlito, Masters

Come on, 'Taker.

JBL eliminates Carlito with a clothsline from hell. 3 on 2: Masters and HBk vs Orton, JBL and Orton

619 on Masters and he is gone. 3 on 1 against HBK

Wow, Batista and Orton are a total of 4 people, btw.:p

Edit: So Undertaker screws SD over, I assume.

Mysterio goes for the 619 gets the SCM ala benjamin and he is gone. JBl goes for the clothsline from hell and he gets the SCM and he is gone. Orton vs HBK left just like I predicted on Tipsters

JBL grabs a chair while he is on the floor and gets in the ring and tries to hit HBK with it.HBk decks him with the SCM but that gets caught with an RKO and is pinned. Smackdown wins and here comes Taker with new pants that remind me of the undertaker of old but that's about it.

Yep a new hat and now new pants you heard it here first

How much different does he look from Biker 03 now? (I know you said what has changed, but you can still say he looks the same, or looks quite a bit different.)

For the 2nd time in 3 yrs, Orton pins HBK to win a SS eliminaton match.

Randy Orton has been the sole survivor in every SS match he has been in.

Wow, that's actually quite amazing when you think about it.

Yep I just realized that as well about Orton.

Great, next time he goes out he'll have new socks when he returns...

I believe Ortons tied with Warrior at 3 aint he?

me 2

Basically picture the Undertaker you saw at the last event with spandex pants and a symbol on the side and that's it

SPANDEX!? :wtf:

i thought it was a good solid ppv myself

i thought this was the worst survivor series ive ever seen

Tights.

Yes Orton. One of three reasons why I watch Smackdown at times.

http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com...kerbigshow.jpg

like those tights?

what's up with the boogeyman anyway? i mean i don't get smackdown where i live but i remember seeing pictures.. he looks like viscera with facepaint to me... i read on wwe.com about him (they already talk about him helping teddy at Survivor series) but i don't get the last couple paragraphs it's like an entirely different story lol

Why am I so FUCKING PISSED THAT BOTH LASHELY AND KANE WERE ELIMINATED FIRST

I miss the Ministry..I wish they had every Raw and PPV of 98' and every Raw, Smackdown and PPV of 99' on dvd, I would love to watch it all over again.

I'll get it tomorrow.

cause your retarded
