At Survivor Series, WWE fans will see a reunion, an extreme first and an inter-brand showdown all in the same match when a team co-captained by D-Generation X meets a team co-captained by Edge & Randy Orton in a 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.

The two teams of co-captains have been at each other’s throats for weeks, with Edge & Orton trying to end DX’s reign of terror on RAW. They were successful at Cyber Sunday thanks to special referee Eric Bischoff, but Shawn Michaels & Triple H responded by costing them the World Tag Team Championship the next night on RAW. Now, at Survivor Series, the two teams will add three partners and do battle in a Classic Survivor Series Match.

Both quintets will be made up of Superstars from all three brands. Along with HBK and The Game, Team DX will be made up of RAW’s Jeff Hardy, SmackDown’s Matt Hardy and ECW Extremist CM Punk; meanwhile, Edge & Orton’s squad will be rounded out by Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro, Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms and ECW’s Mike Knox.

Jeff and Nitro, Matt and Helms and Punk and Knox all have their own rivalries brewing as well. Jeff and Nitro have traded the Intercontinental Championship in recent months, Matt and Helms have been battling over a personal grudge and Punk and Knox have been at odds seemingly due to the schoolgirl crush Knox’s girlfriend Kelly has on Punk.

All four of these rivalries will be combined into one volatile match at Survivor Series; but while hostility is high, this match will also see the ultimate reunion of the brothers Hardy. Together, Matt and Jeff have won the World Tag Team Championship on five occasions, but Survivor Series will see them teaming together for the first time since August 2002.

Who will survive when these 10 Superstars and Extremists collide in the same ring at Survivor Series?

Check back tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET for the announcement of another Survivor Series match.


Wow, that was unexpected.

How random.

I like it. This is how it was back in the day. This is what I was hoping for. They need to make at least 2 more of these matches and the rest whatever else.

^ Agreed, DX/Hardys teaming up with CM Punk should be interesting.

So I guess K Fed vs Cena will be added? This should be a crapfest.

Thats not happening till New Year's Day from what I took last night on Raw? My Guess Cena's team vs Umaga's Team deal

Also...

SPOILERS BELOW






Mr. Kennedy vs. The Undertaker
Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero for the US Title

Yeah I do to, they take faces from different fueds and team them up against the heels. Traditional SS match. I like it.

I really like this match. Matt Hardy actually gets to be in a high profile match, along with Gregory Helms, and it's CM Punk's WWE ppv debut. Plus, I like how everyone has issues with someone on the other team. Very cool.

Yeah, like I said, true traditional SS match like back in the day.

Why is ECW on this show again?

I am really happy about this announcement. Weird though seeing as Triple H didn't "see anything" in CM Punk. Great that they are putting lower card workers who can really work in a high scale match.

If it makes you feel any better I don't see anything in CM Punk either. But funny how HHH says that about a lot of guys.

Thats odd

Just thought of something... They teamed Jeff Hardy (known for his drug addictions and whatnot) with CM Punk, whos gimmick is the Straight Edged Life. Kinda funny if you think about it I suppose.

That's actually a fucking awesome match to have. Hopefully no one will be burried in this match.

The Hardyz and Punk will prolly be eliminated within minutes and DX will beat all 5 guys.

Few other good matches would be ...

Undertaker and Kane along with Sabu, London and Kendrick vs

Kennedy and Umaga along with Thorn, Stevens and Burke

also

RVD and Sandman along with Crazy, and Cryme Tyme vs

Big Show and Test along with Masters, and Cade/Murdoch

ALSO

Batista and Benoit along with Carlito, and Flair/Piper

Booker and Chavo along with Benjamin, and The Spirit Squad


ya know something along those lines

the whole show should be just these matches, except one championship match

I wish it would only be classic survivor series matches. With so many ppv's make this event different and unique again.

Corndad: make this the official thread for the WWE.COM released matches. That way we don't have to have a new thread every day. Maybe we could get a sticky as well.

I would like as well, but as stated earlier in this thread, Benoits *SPOILER* already got a match with Chavo

DX, The Hardy Boys, and CM Punk. Hot team.

I see potential in Punk, but nothing can match up to the hype the IWC feeds him.

However, I think any of a dozen or more guys could do the same if they were being groomed by WWE, so he's really nothing special.

I like the match, but I expected more high profile folks for some reason. This feels more like a main event match as a vehicle to a PPV than it does a PPV match.

Yeah

I got a hard on when I saw the line up for this match.

You get DX, you get CM punk but you also get Hardy Boys to reteam together for the first time in year. The big thing is will they all come out to their own music, or do you have those 3 join up as a DX reunion for the night.


Oh, I just got an idea. Maybe because Bischoff has been so involved lately, you have him define Team Orton/Edge as Team NWO for the night. Then you've got DX vs NWO

LOL @ Trips and Punk in the same ring.

Wow, I have been a fan of pro wrestling a long long time, and I thought I had seen everything, and yet never once in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would see Triple H, Shawn Michaels, a reunited Hardy Boyz and CM Freakin Punk be in one match...never mind teaming up against 5 men who actually have a purpose in being in the match. It's almost like...WWE...somehow...used logic. I tell you, this is a very weird day indeed.

yeah for one match

if they were smart they would do this PPV right

we need more survivor series matches

It would be awesome if the WWE made either Orton, HHH, HBK, or Edge get eliminated before all the other guys do. It can end up as HHH and Edge at the end, I don't care, I just want to see some unpredictibility.

I could see HBK getting eliminated early. I still thought though that he was going to be out due to knee surgery. Anyone know whats going on with that?

I'm happy about this match.

Wait, that's it. No explanation, no storyline progress.

WHAT THE FUCK ALIENOID.

Happy as long as it doesnt turn into DX against the world and results in burying on both sides for a DX vs Edge/Orton Rematch. I'd like maybe HHH and Edge to make it to the final four, with unexpecteds. Say...HHH and Punk (haha) vs Edge and Nitro.
I think you could subtlely give Punk a decent rub from being crowd favored along with HHH on a big time WWE ppv, as much as I hate to feed HHHs ego with such a claim I think its true.
Edge is the better of the 2 leaders of that team to go to the end, and I think it would be right to have Nitro and Helms stick around. Leaving HHH and Punk with 3 on 2 odds, overcoming the odds. I'd have Knox come back out and take Punk out of it to fuel that fued to a conclusion match. And then I'd have Edge go over HHH by cheating, but nonetheless winning.

Keep in mind HHH can't win this match in any way shape or form haha. Isn't he yet to win at a Survivor Series? Hes to Survivor Series as Undertaker is to Wrestlemania, only the complete opposite. As far as I can remember hes never won at SS, correct me if thats changed.

He is to Survivor Series as The Big Show is to Wrestle Mania.

Punk seems to have an "it" factor to him though. Something that makes you want to watch him, regardless of the fact that he's just beating jobbers. Hard to describe, but certain people have the "it." Take Umaga for example: same type of push (if not more so), but it's taken the WWE cramming him down our throats for us to get used to him.



I really like this match. If it were the main event that'd be even better, but I have a feeling it won't be. We all know it's going to boil down to DX vs. Edge/Orton though, which kind of hurts it, but just seeing the Hardys back together is going to be worth it.

Wow, that DX team is badass. Personally though, I would take Knox off the other team. I think Test would be a better pick... Although they aren't feuding. Meh.

Knox is a very good brawler. I don't no why everyone is so down on him. Might have something to do with most people not liking that style, but I dunno. I am fond of Knox.

The match really suprised me, which is a good thing. I was predicting a 4 on 4 with DX Flair/Piper vs Edge/Orton/Bischoff/_____ or something along those lines. Hopefully they keep booking these and not too many singles matches. I think Taker/Kennedy, Benoit/Chavo, and one world title match is enough.

I have no problems with Knoxx. He's just a cut and dry brawler like Destor said. Not everyone can be Angle. With that being said I'd probably opt for him to be the first out in thsi matchup, only because the others are real talented.
Interesting to see the Hardy brothers not only in the same match on the same side, but with Edge on the other side of the ring.

My problem isn't with Knox persay, but Knox in this match. Edge, Orton, Nitro, and Helms are all sort of pretty boys, while Knox is this big, rougher looking guy. It just seems using someone like Test would have given them a more uniform look, and sort of a team gimmick.

Fair point.

Knox looks like some sort of fictional monster

Its interesting that its called Team DX, because if I had to pick any and all members of the DX roster who I could see as members, I think CM Punk and the Hardys are them. Moreso punk, but I remember right when the Hardyz got their makeover in late 99 it was highly speculated that they'd be part of a new DX.

Oh yeah! Totally forgot about the Edge/Matt factor in this match

Yeah I agree with that, but with the current booking it's obviously to kill 4 birds with 1 stone

Any Clues what the 2nd match will be today fellas?

Change the title of this thread to: Official SS match announcements thread. THERE'S A FUCKING CLUE CORNDAD.

;)

I have no idea what the next match will be but it is great to see helms and the hardys involved in a ppv

If he's got "it," then let me say I don't see "it." He bores me. The only thing that interests me is his finisher, and that's more because it's something I learned in Ju Jutsu (Though I'm not sure if he's a JJ or BJJ practitioner). That's not enough to keep me watching. His promos and attitude annoy me. His moveset and charisma seem to be what any average guy could do if given a chance to shine.

Kane Knight is right,

He is like a white tajiri, he even tried to rip off the turantula last night.

The move he does is actually decently different from the tarantula.... But thanks for playing.

lmao @ "a white Tajiri"

New Match Announced:
Team Cena vs Team Big Show
John Cena/RVD/Sabu/Lashley/Kane vs Big Show/Umaga/Test/MVP/Finlay

Thank You Jeritron5000
 

Team Cena vs. Team Big Show

November 26, 2006

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/ima...imination2.jpg
RAW, SmackDown and ECW will collide in the second inter-promotional Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match of the annual November spectacular. Team Cena, led by the WWE Champion will square off with Team Big Show, led by the ECW Champion in a match combining some of sports-entertainments hottest rivalries.

John Cena and Big Show have unfinished business dating back to the Champion of Champions match at Cyber Sunday. Both men were unsuccessful on that night, falling short to King Booker. The distaste between the two has only grown since. At Survivor Series, the two dominant Champions will look to add another chapter to their budding rivalry.

Cena’s team will include ECW’s Rob Van Dam and Sabu and SmackDown powerhouses Lashley and Kane. Van Dam and Sabu have an extensive history as a team, as well as extensive rivalries with Big Show. Both will continue to grow on the road to the Extreme Elimination Chamber at December to Dismember. Survivor Series will provide another opportunity for them to soften up the ECW Champion before the gruesome holiday pay-per-view.

The extreme giant will anchor a team that includes RAW’s Samoan Bulldozer Umaga, SmackDown’s Finlay and Montel Vontavious Porter and ECW’s wrecking ball Test.

Umaga and Montel Vontavious Porter have been engaged in separate but equally intense rivalries with the Big Red Machine Kane. Umaga has had Kane’s number so far, scoring consecutive victories including decisive wins in a Loser Leaves RAW match in September, and a recent run-in at Cyber Sunday. Kane has been taking out his frustrations at his new home on SmackDown, where he has repeatedly battered the cocky M.V.P. At Survivor Series, the rivalries will continue.

Finlay and Lashley will collide again at Survivor Series. The hatred between the angry Irishman and the hard hitting Lashley has spanned the better part of this calendar year, with countless battles unfolding at SmackDown arenas all over the world.

Check back tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET for the announcement of another Survivor Series match.

I LOVE how they are doing this so far.

Pretty sure HHH beat Ric Flair last year at the Survivor Series in a Last Man Standing match guys.

That match has all kinds of fueds involved. Umagas beefin with Kane and Cena, just like Big Show is with RVD and Cena and Sabu. Kanes got bad blood with MVP and Umaga as well....so far I think this is all genius booking.
Hopefully they make at least 1 or 2 matches like this.

There'll probably be a title defense by King Booker against somebody since these 2 champs won't be defending.
Benoit is facing Chavo for the US Strap and Kennedy has a grudge match with Taker. Thats enough singles matches, I think the rest of the roster should be fair game to matchups.

Test is kinda an odd ball, but he does have heat with RVD, and there is time to get Sabu/Test into it I guess so it works.

Prediction: Umaga will pin Cena

I see Test's character like Finlay's, he doesn't care he just loves to fight.

Dunno, Big Show always does extremely well (pun intended) in SS matches. Tough call there.

While you're right, I was addressing how everyone else has major heat with at least one of the people in the match. Except for Test, he has a little heat with RVD, that's about it.

Well the same can be said with Finlay.

He really hasn't interacted with Lashley all that much in months.

But there is bad blood there that was never really settled. So in kayfabe it feels right. Test just seems off for me. Again I love the match, but Test just seems out of place. (I guess I'm just echoing the Knox sentiments from yesterday though.)

I guess this a good way to push Umaga against Cena without him losing or winning the title. Even though I think theres no such thing as a GOOD Umaga push
How about Team Carlito vs Team Shelton
Carlito/Flair/Piper/Sandman/Boogeyman vs Shelton/Cryme Tyme/Striker/Miz

You have two baby faces on the heel team. (Cryme Tyme.)

But Test has bad blood with RVD and somewhat with Sabu just by association with Paul Heyman and the "New Breed."

Wow, I am loving this. Two 5 on 5 survivor series elmination matches. I like yesterdays a little better, but this one can be good as well.

I suppose, heat by association. It works, I'm definitely not arguing that.

Sorry KoOS:

<TABLE class=tborder cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=4 width="70%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=tcat>vBulletin Message</TD></TR><TR><TD class=panelsurround align=middle>
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

The Spirit Squad vs. Flair/Piper/Slaughter/Rhodes/Jimmy Snuka

Carlito/Cryme Tyme/Boogeyman/Sandman vs. Benjamin/Haas/Masters/Miz/Holly

I realize they're faces, but I just think they should make them heels and align with Shelton at some point, so I'm just speculating what if they did before SS. If not, obv the match I stated would not work.

Spirit Squad vs Legends would be cool.
Spirit Squad themselves are built to wrestle as a full team at this event, seeing as they're a 5 man team. Pretty much an easy match to book.

I can see it now. Have the SS mimic the legends every week (finishing maneuvers, the way they act) to build up some heat and it could be good.

Yeah, give it away, why don't you? :roll:

I'm loving the Survivor Series card thus far:

-King Booker vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship
-Team DX vs. Team Rated RKO
-Mr. Kennedy vs. The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match
-Team Cena vs. Team Big Show
-Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero for the WWE United States Championship

I see Cryme Tyme on a team opposite Shelton Benjamin. The Boogeyman and The Miz will be on opposing teams. Charlie Haas and Viscera could join Shelton Benjamin in his battle against Cryme Tyme, and Carlito makes another logical babyface member of Cryme Tyme's unit. I see The Sandman and Matt Striker being put on opposite teams, just because. So yeah, another match prediction:

-Shad Gaspard, JTG, Carlito, The Boogeyman and The Sandman vs. Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Viscera, Mike Mizanin and Matt Striker

The Spirit Squad would likely form a team against Ric Flair and Rowdy Roddy Piper. I'd like to see some kind of "Tag Team Champion" team, though, so add Paul London and Brian Kendrick to the match. Hacksaw Jim Duggan is a WWE Legend, and he has problems with The Spirit Squad, so I can see him being thrown in there as well:

-Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. The Spirit Squad

The card is getting pretty stacked now, but I can also see a Fatal Fourway Match for the Women's Championship taking place. Lita vs. Victoria vs. Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix. This will just space the classic Survivor Series Elimination Matches out.

So yeah, my prediction for the final card:

-King Booker vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship
-John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Big Show, Umaga, Montel Vontavious Porter, Finlay & Test
-Mr. Kennedy vs. The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match
-Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, Edge, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms & Mike Knox
-Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero for the WWE United States Championship
-Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. The Spirit Squad
-Lita vs. Victoria vs. Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix for the WWE Women's Championship
-Shad Gaspard, JTG, Carlito, The Boogeyman & The Sandman vs. Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Viscera, Mike Mizanin & Matt Striker

The Sandman would go early in his match, getting disqualified for going ape-shit with a kendo stick. This leads to the easy eliminations of Matt Striker by JTG, and Viscera by Shad Gaspard. Mike Mizanin takes the Boogeyslam, and Charlie Haas gets dropped by the Boogeybomb. Shelton Benjamin is left alone with four members of the opposing team. He gets scared off by The Boogeyman and Cryme Tyme, and stumbles into the Backcracker. Cryme Tyme, Carlito and The Boogeyman survive.

Victoria becomes a three-time Women's Champion by winning the Fatal Fourway with a Widow's Peak. Mickie James and Beth Phoenix are none too happy.

The Spirit Squad manage to isolate Brian Kendrick, but he tags in Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who eliminates Mitch with the 3 Point Stance. Some heel trickey allows Mikey to pin Hacksaw. Johnny then pins Piper after some more heel tactics. Paul London & Brian Kendrick hit the Get Well Soon on Nicky, and he goes packing. A Sweet Chin Symphony is played on Johnny, and he's out. Kenny is rolled up by Ric Flair in a surprise elimination. Mikey gets put in the Figure Four, Brian Kendrick gets down on hands and knees, and London leaps off Kendrick's back with the London Star Press on Mikey. Flair's Figure Four gets the pin. Ric Flair, Paul London & Brian Kendrick survive.

Chavo Guerrero rolls up Chris Benoit, using the ropes and the tights to secure a pinfall, to become the new WWE United States Champion.

I see Edge and Shawn Michaels brawling through the crowd, causing both to get counted out early in their match. Mike Knox doesn't need too much protecting, so I can see him being eliminated by CM Punk next. Knox then grabs the arm of Punk, which distracts Punk long enough for Johnny Nitro to roll him up for the pin. The Hardy Boyz hit Falling Fate on Johnny Nitro, which eliminates the Intercontinental Champion. Gregory Helms takes the Twist of Fate, and is about to eat a Swanton Bomb, when Nitro crotches Jeff Hardy, which distracts Matt. Helms rolls up Hardy with his feet on the ropes to eliminate him. Helms goes up top, and looks to take out Jeff with a superplex, but Matt pulls Helms off, hits the Twist of Fate, and Jeff follows up with the Swanton Bomb, to eliminate the Cruiserweight Champion. Randy Orton uses the Intercontinental Championship belt behind the ref's back, as he gets Matt out of the ring, and pins Jeff Hardy. The match is down to Triple H and Randy Orton. It looks to be going in Triple H's favour, but Eric Bischoff gets involved, and Edge returns to Spear Triple H. Orton connects with the RKO. Team Rated RKO wins with Randy Orton surviving.

Mr. Kennedy wins the Buried Alive Match with help from The Great Khali and Daivari. This match is really short, and just used to get heat for Kennedy, and give Khali, Daivari and ECW more exposure.

Team Cena vs. Team Big Show is the hardest match to book, in my opinion. I see Big Show going early on, which would be a nice surprise. Umaga will probably win it for his team with help from Kevin Federline. Unfortunately, I see Kane going first, when he gets MVP up for a Chokeslam, but Finlay clips his knee, allowing MVP to steal the pin. I see Kane taking out his frustrations out on MVP, which allows Rob Van Dam to follow up with a Five Star Frog Splash, eliminating the lost Power Ranger. Big Show then eats a Spear from Bobby Lashley, a Triple Jump Moonsault from Sabu (maybe with John Cena or Bobby Lashley acting as the chair), a Five Star Frog Splash from RVD, and then gets slapped in the STFU by John Cena. The ECW World Champion is forced to tap out. Finlay shoves RVD off the top rope, when he is about to pin Umaga, and the Samoan Bulldozer follows up with the Samoan Spike on RVD to send him packing. Big Show puts Sabu in the Big Sleep, and then nails him with the Showstopper. Finlay follows with the Celtic Cross, and that is all for Sabu. John Cena is isolated by Finlay and Umaga, and he eventually fights to his corner, but Bobby Lashley jumps down. Cena is confused, and turns into the avalanche by Umaga. He then gets a Samoan Senton, followed by the Spike for a two count. Lashley looks a little disturbed by this, but nonetheless, he gets back in the ring, and plants Cena with a Running Powerslam, which allows Umaga to get a Splash off the top rope for the pin. Umaga and Finlay survive.

Unfortunately, I see Batista ending the World Heavyweight Championship reign of King Booker. I hope that isn't the case.

Looks like Piper and Flair in Today's match according to WWE.com

I was just gonna say that the Spirit Squad are perfect for this PPV. Spirit Squad vs. Legends would be awesome, but I'd have Flair, Piper, Rhodes, Slaughter, and Hacksaw (since he's involved with the SS).

You guys called it. Legends vs Squad... With Arn in Legends Corner.

WWE Legends vs. The Spirit Squad

November 26, 2006

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/ima...imination3.jpg
Former World Tag Team Champions the Spirit Squad have hade their problems with the legendary “Nature Boy” Ric Flair as of late. At Survivor Series, they’ll have a heaping helping of Legend trouble, as Squad members Johnny, Kenny, Mikey and Nicky will face Flair, Dusty Rhodes and WWE Hall of Famers “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Sgt. Slaughter in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.

Problems began when each member of the Squad tried to defeat Flair in singles action; three were unsuccessful before Kenny finally achieved the goal. However, a match was made pitting Flair and a legendary partner of the WWE fans’ choosing against the Squad for the World Tag Team Titles at Cyber Sunday. The options were Piper, Slaughter and Rhodes; WWE fans chose Piper, and he and the “Nature Boy” defeated Kenny and Mikey to claim the gold.

Despite not being chosen, Slaughter and Rhodes were firmly in Flair & Piper’s corner, helping them dispatch the Squad following the match. But at Survivor Series, all four will get the chance to battle the cheerleading quintet.

The Squad’s fifth member, Mitch, will be lurking at ringside as always; however, the Legends team will have another one in their corner, as Flair’s best friend and former Four Horsemen teammate Arn Anderson will be at ringside with them. Will experience triumph over youth once more, or will the Squad finally get it back on track against four of the all-time greats?

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>DisplayAd("LargeBody");</SCRIPT>
Check back tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET for the announcement of another Survivor Series match.

NICE! For once, I called something! And I was only one off! (Arn instead of Hacksaw). :D :D

Wait...why only 4 vs. 4 for this one?

Should be a fun match. I wonder if it will be four on five or four on four though?

It will be four on four. Mitch will be in the Squad's corner according to wwe.com. I like the card for this event so far. I love all the survivor series type matches. This match probably won't be pretty, but it should be fun.

Maybe I should have read my own post. :-\

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Mitch is always the poor bastard stuck at ringside

But yeah, at first I marked looking at the graphic cause I thought Arn would be returning to the ring</font> :o

Survivor Series is getting goooooood

I think I called it first.

The Squad so needs to go over.

DX, The Hardys & CM Punk vs. Edge, Randy Orton, Gregory Helms, Johnny Nitro & Mike Knox

WWE Champion John Cena, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Kane & Bobby Lashley vs. ECW World Champion Big Show, Umaga, Test, Finlay & M.V.P

Spirit Squad vs. World Tag Team Champions Ric Flair & Rowdy Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter & Dusty Rhodes (with Arn Anderson)

Gimmick Match
Undertaker v.s Kennedy

US Title Match
Benoit v.s Chavo

WWE Title Match
Cena v.s Umaga

World Heavyweight Title Match
Booker v.s Batista

Seems like this is gonna be the card... looks like a damn good card to me

Damn, I thought we'd get to see Arn wrestle again. Oh well, still sounds pretty interesting.

Why would Cena and Umaga wrestle twice?

They won't.

I know, I was referring to Jordan X's compiled card.

He fucked up.

From a point earlier in the thread, something I think is interresting:

"I don't see shit in" somebody in Wrestling isn't necessarily an insult. I remember reading about Terry Funk "not seeing shit" in somebody: Cactus Jack. I think it's one of those kayfabe things where they want the younger guy to believe they still have something to prove, but are truly impressed with them.

Or, maybe I'm off.

I'm pretty sure I read something about Triple H being impressed with CM Punk. The later complaints I read from Triple H was that he couldn't control a crowd, which sounds like bullshit to me, because it's what Punk's best at. So yeah, my guess is that Triple H was joking around when his comments blasting Punk were recorded.

Anyway, the Legends vs. Spirit Squad match strikes me as odd. Why not have Faarooq, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, IRS or Goldust return for the match, so Mitch can get involved? Hell, why not bring up Cody Runnels from OVW as "Cody Rhodes", even if it is for one night.

And yes, The Spirit Squad must defeat the Legends.

Hopefully SmackDown! gets a 4 vs. 4 Match now. Maybe Chris Benoit, Paul London, Brian Kendrick & Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Chavo Guerrero, William Regal, Idol Stevens & KC James? The heels could go over setting up matches for Armageddon, and to give them some extra credibility (which they sorely need).

Probably because Arn is retired and can't wrestle anymore...even if he did wrestle David Flair once or twice on Nitro in its dying days...
