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.

I'll forget these things though. My memory sucks. For the elimination matches I'll give updates throughout. For the singles matches, I'll just give you the result at the end.

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.

I think the only thing Simmons can still pull off is "DAMN!"

Benoit wins with a Crippler Crossface over Chavo. I'm 6 minutes behind now though.

To be honest, barring a Cobra Clutch, Flair was the only "old has-been" to get much offence in during the match. Anderson was not a competitor in the match either, he was just a ringside enforcer. I agree it was pretty lame seeing Simmons and Anderson leave within seconds, especially considering Simmons got the biggest pop of anyone in the match.

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.

Not really. A bit too short to build up any momentum.

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.
