Survivor Series Thread
I noticed there wasn't one. Unusual, it starts in two minutes. I can't be bothered putting together a big intro though. Maybe there is one somewhere. Is ANYONE watching this???
|
Well, Ric Flair, Sgt Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes and Ron Simmons w/ Arn Anderson vs. Spirit Squad w/Mitch to kick things off.
|
Got the feeling that I will either do really good or really bad in Tipsters tonight.
|
*cough*
|
No I'm not watching.
|
I remember a day when I couldn't even fathom not buying a Survivor Series PPV, now I can't begin to think of a reason WWE could trick me into ordering any PPV.
|
I'll do play-by-play for anyone who's interested.
|
I'm on a two minute delay though. Sky+, ya see.
Simmons and Mikey starting off. |
Simmons counted out within seconds.
|
Mitch has been barred from ringside too.
|
Arn Anderson has ALSO been barred from ringside.
|
The referee is on a power trip in the first two minutes of this match, and the crowd is NOT happy with how this match is going so far, with chants of BULLSHIT.
|
I think I speak for everyone when I say, thanks for the updates, but you could just do like one update after every match and give key notes there. :wave:
|
Was gonna order it. But I was going to ask the people here to swing me to do so. Too late now.
What the hell happened already? |
Johnny with a lame Johnny Go Round that blatently did not touch Sgt Slaughter, but Nicky pins Sarge. This match is a mess so far.
|
Quote:
|
Kenny pins Dusty Rhodes with a roll-up. Flair is on his own.
|
Actually I think Nicky got eliminated at some point but I missed it. Told you this match was a mess. It's 3 on 1.
Well, Flair's pinned Mikey now, so 2 on 1. I call Kenny as sole survivor. |
Well, there goes my prediction. Flair pins Kenny with a cradle. It's Flair vs Johnny.
|
Johnny taps to the figure four, and Flair is sole survivor.
|
Can I just say Kenny looks the spitting image of Owen Hart.
|
5 on 1 mugging by Spirit Squad at the end of the match. No sign of the legends to make the save.
Benoit vs Guerrero is next. |
Anyway I'm gonna go sit down and enjoy this show in comfort. It cost me fifteen quid! I'll check in with updates every now and again, if anyone actually cares about this PPV :lol:
|
The Squad has been buried so deep they will soon begin to mutate into some variety of mole-people.
|
Never liked Spirit Squad. So I don't give a fuck. I guess in the end I would take even modern day Flair over any of them. So...whatever...or something.
|
Also, I like Benoit more than Chavo, but I am hoping Chavo wins tonight.
|
A bunch of old has-beens has beating the Spirit Squad? :mad:
Also, Simmons and Andersons being knocked out straight away... I take it neither of them can pull out many moves then. |
Benoit VS Chavo COULD be match of the night. I want Benoit to win as I'm a Benoit mark, but I'd love to see this match elevate Chavo to the main event, where I feel he's belonged for years.
|
Quote:
|
Benoit wins with a Crippler Crossface over Chavo. I'm 6 minutes behind now though.

Lita vs Mickie is up next... |
Backstage, Cryme Tyme steal all of Lita's belonging from her locker room. And the women's title match is on...
|
First Survivor Series I haven't ordered in about 6 years...sad.
|
Was the Benoit/Guerrero match any good?
|
Lita just hit the best moonsault she's ever performed... you know, it didn't look like she nearly killed herself for once. Shame she's finally learned to do that in her last match. Mickie hits the Impaler DDT for the 3 count and Mickie is the new champ.
|

Lita gets Lilian Garcia to demand a warm ovation for her final appearance. The fans boo. Lita says the fans don't show her any respect, and she can't think of a better crowd to leave in front of. Cryme Tyme show up with the box of Lita's stuff and says they are going to have a Ho-lesale. They start selling Lita's stuff to the crowd, including her medication for a "yeast infection". JBL buys Lita's panties and sniffs them. WTF? JBL gives them $100 and they stiff him on the change. They find her vibrator in the box. This is getting a bit sick really. A fan gives $25 for LITA'S USED VIBRATOR. Yeah, Attitude still reigns in the WWE.
Now they're out of items, and are selling Lita's BIG BOX. Yeah. Lita doesn't get quite the sendoff that Trish did. JBL says he will dig up Johnny Cochrane and sue Cryme Tyme. |
Batista gives him best interview in years by saying literally nothing while Michael Cole reels off questions to him. They replay the contract signing attack from SmackDown. (Why has nobody ever learnt to be aware of a potential attack when signing a contract in the ring? I don't think I've EVER seen a contract signing end without an attack.)
Batista finally breaks his silence, with just one sentence. "I'm leaving tonight the World heavyweight champion". Best interview he's ever done. |
"What an ovation for Team Xtreme" says Jim Ross as The Hardy Boyz make their entrance to near silence. Team DX vs Team Rated RKO is up next.
|
Lol... Good 'ol JR.
|
Mike Knox is eliminated by a superkick within seconds of the match starting. Literally, it was the FIRST move of the match. There goes C.M. Punk's storyline reason for being there, huh?
|
Crowd are heavily behind Punk, though, chanting his name, and he hasn't even set foot in the ring yet.
|
Nitro taps to the Anaconda Vice, and its 5 on 3
|
Team RKO horribly buried
|
Quote:
|
Helms eliminated by Matt Hardy after a Jeff swanton, and its the whole of Team DX vs Rated RKO. Edge and Orton try to walk out on the match, but are sent back into the ring by Team DX.
HBK pins Edge with the superkick. Ortons on his own... |
One pedigree later, and Team DX survive as a whole.
JR claims that no full team has ever won a Survivor Series match before. I can think of at least one off the top of my head (Jim Duggans team at Survivor Series '91) and I'm not PAID to know these things as a PROFESSIONAL. Even Lawler thinks Team DX is the first full team to survive. |
awesome keep the updates coming
|
In fact, Undertaker's "Dark Side" team survived without losing a member at Survivor Series 1995, and Lawler was IN the match...
|
It's now the First Blood match. Backstage, MVP says he has Kennedy's back.
|
The DX/RKO match sounds crap. I was hoping for a nice long match with plenty of eliminations and stuff... oh well.
|
Man this "First Full Team To Survive" remark has been bugging me, so I just did some research, and a team called The Royal Family (Captain's name? Jerry 'The King' Lawler!) survived unscathed at Survivor Series 1994 over Doink The Clown's Clowns R Us team. And it was Lawler who was insisting that Team DX were the first full team ever to win a match at Survivors!!!
Man, the commentary pairing of JR and King are really treading water nowadays. |
The Four Doinks (Bushwhackers and Men On A Mission) also won their match at Survivor Series 1993 without losing a single member, as did The Visionaries (Power and Glory, Warlord and Rick Martel) at Survivor Series 1990, for those who care.
So that's FIVE whole teams to survive. |
This is the exact same as how (I was watching Wrestlemania 19 the other day) Lesnar kicked out of the Angle Slam and Cole and Taz were all "OMG! No ones ever kicked out of the Angle Slam", never mind the fact that at the Royal Rumble just two months earlier Chris Benoit kicked out of two Angle Slams.
|
Undertaker bladed himself ready for MVP to hit him with a chair but MVP was late on cue, which meant Taker was standing there brawling with Kennedy for about 15 seconds with blood pouring from his forehead before the chairshot which allegedly bust him open.
Anyway, Missssssssssssssssta Kennedddddddddy wins this one. Kenneddddddddyyyyyy. |
Taker hit Kennedy with a rather sick chairshot after the match, busting Ken open. Then he hit him with the Tombstone piledriver. Random note: I wish Taker would go back to wearing the homemade rags he used to wear when he first debuted. They just added to his character so much more than the skintight spandex the so-called "Dead Man" wears nowadays.
|
How much do I want the Roddy Piper DVD they are advertising now? Man that looks great.
|
Team Cena vs Team Show next up.
|
Methinks Undertaker will be putting in another appearance to take out MVP.
|
Random fact: You know why they call him "Test"? He was a test tube baby. Genetically modified freak!
|

|
You better be kidding me.
|
Wait... you must be. This was a Smackdown match.
|
<font color=goldenrod>Fuck.......I originally said Taker would bleed because of a chairshot, then I changed it to microphone</font> :mad:
|
Umaga eliminated early by DQ (within minutes) after going nuts with a monitor from the commentary table.
|
Quote:
|
Kane with a chokeslam on MVP, RVD hits the frog splash, MVP is out.
Test then immediately hits the big boot and RVD is a gonna. It's 4 on 3. |
Sabu pins Test with a Tornado DDT from the ropes.
Big Show then chokeslams Sabu seconds later for the 3 count. This match seems very rushed. |
Finlay hits Kane with a shillelegh, and Big Show chokeslams him for the pin.
|
Cena and Lashley vs Show and Finlay now...
I call a Cena win, to keep him strong going into his big match against.... Federline?? Okay, maybe not then. |
Quote:
|
Lashley pins Finlay, and the fans, cameraman and commentators don't even notice.
|
Quote:
|
Cena is getting a frosty reception from the fans tonight.
Cena FU's the Big Show, and Cena and Lashley win it. |
Can't believe Cena can STILL F.U. the Big Show, he's bigger than ever!
|
They celebrate, and Cena TURNS HEEL ON LASHLEY!
He's busted him wide open with the spinner belt. And now he's helping Big Show destroy Lashley. |
No shit, are you shitting me
|
WTF!!! SWEET!!!
|
Okay, 'fess up, who fell for it? :lol:
It's the main event for the World heavyweight title next, Batista vs the champion, King Booker. |
:mad:
|
Man, that woulda been awesome if he had.
|
Oh come on! That one line made you sit up and take notice more than ANYTHING that's happened on this PPV so far.
Maybe I should apply for Steph's job? |
:foc:
|
I knew you were shitting me
|
Quote:
This was once a man who couldn't be beat in the hardest of hardcore environments, now being pinned by a "big boot." :nono: Just go to TNA Rob, this is disgusting. (Granted, he "fucked up", but still...it makes me sick.) |
Quote:
|
Fuck up or no fuck up, TNA would have him there tomorrow if they could.
And he would prob end up getting a bigger push than Angle, coz he's less injury prone and less likely to die. Might sound harsh, but... |
Looks like WWE are going to let Booker/Batista go for a good 20 minutes. A mistake surely.
|
Quote:
Well, come on... it was THE swerve we're all waiting for. |
Quote:
|
This big Booker/Batista feud, and not one mention of their legit backstage fight. Maybe WWE learned their lesson from the silence and confusion that greeted the Mick Foley/Ric Flair feud over the summer.
|
Well I'm going to sit back and watch this match (which will surely be a CLASSIC :roll: ) I'll be back with the result, and my overall opinions of the show, when the match is over (and I am now on a nine minute delay too).
|
Quote:
Thanks for the updates by the way, it's making my work evening go by quicker. :y: |
RVD VS AJ Styles :drool:
|
Batista nails Booker with the belt to pin him and take the title.
|
:(
|
Well, if this show had been free in the UK like a lot of our PPVs are, I would have been slightly more satisfied by it. However, fifteen quid for this show feels like I got ripped off a bit.
It felt very rushed, nothing much of note occurred, no storyline developments, no new notable feuds, no turns, nothing. The only lasting difference this show made was in crowning Batista as the new champion. Pretty weak PPV in all, unfortunately. |
Seems to have been a night for the faces, don't think a single heel won tonight. :-\
|
Oh, and the match I was most looking forward to (Spirits vs Legends) was a total mess! :(
