yeah, I don't think the Survivor Series buys suddenly go through the roof if the card is fillled with traditional Survivor Series matches. Outside of the pretty obvious outcome, the booking was fine. That card was going to do roughly that number regardless. That post appears to be based on Wrestling Internet Fact #2,313, which is "Miz is in the doghouse for the Survivor Series buyrate". And the Mania buyrate wasn't down to just Rock, it was a year long build ft. a match between two of WWE's top guys ever going against each other for the first time. Survivor Series was never going come close to that no matter what they were doing.

I know Survivor Series was never going to come close, and the booking was fine. But I was thinking, what if? Like, what could of been done to give it just a little bit of a spike in PPV buys. The "Miz was to blame for Survivor Series buyrate" was ridiculous.

Partially to blame for Survivor Series having lower numbers than Wrestlemania is that some casual marks mistake SS as a tie-in for the TV show "Survivor."
