Survivor Series Countdown: 1987-Present

[Nate]

Survivor Series 1998

Holy Jesus am I reading this write? A 'Deadly Game' Tournament is being placed at the PPV, which interesting enough includes 14 matches!!! The idea of this tournament is to prevent both Austin and The Rock from becoming WWF Champion. Also interesting enough this is the first show where the WWF Women's Championship and the WWF Tag Team Championship are defended, and also this is the very first event not to hose a Survivor Series Elimination matchup. Anyways the tournament is to determine who will walk away from Survivor Series with the vacent WWF Championship. Also argubably this is the first Survivor Series of the Attitude Era! Alright let's bring it on!

Oh and just a small note after watching this; there was hardly any backstage between the segments, and when there was they would only be like 10 seconds max.
Live from St. Louis, Mississori

Commentators: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
Ring Announcer: Howard Finkle

We start off with the tournament bracket being shown and the 12 matches that are going to happen for the night which will determine the winner of the vancent WWF Championship. Plus 2 other matches for the Women's Title and I think the Tag Team titles iirc.

INSERT TOURNAMENT BRACKET!

Mr. McMahon is then introduced while on a wheelchair and he says that we're guaranteed a new champion. He then introduces the WWF Hardcore Champion Mankind to the ring. Apparently Mankind has a mystery opponent for tonight, and Mr McMahon is about to announce it, lmao he mentions WCW during the introduction speech. And the opponent is... Dwayne Gill? Oh shit it's GIllberg!

"Deadly Game" 1st Round Match: Mankind vs Dwayne Gill

Mankind attacks Gillberg even before he enters the ring, then stomps down on Mankind and Mankind hits the double underhook DDT, apparently he debuted that move tonight, and he won the match right there.

Winner of the Match: Mankind. I swear to fuck if all matches are this bad... aw whatever. SQUASH!

We see a recap on what happened at Sunday Night Heat when Jacquine attacks Sable, then Sable is shown backstage being pissed off and says that she'll win the match and become WWF Women's Champion.

'Deadly Game' First Round Match: Jeff Jarrett vs Al Snow

Al Snow is at ringside and Jarrett tries to ambush him but Al Snow hits a Swanton Bomb from the steel steps, then hits a springboard legdrop from the apron! Jarrett though hits a flapjack onto the turnbuckles then hits an elbow to the face. Jarrett slams Snow to the corner and hits some corner shots but Snow counters back and hits a chop, then gets thrown outside but hits a clothesline from the apron, climbs the ropes but misses a diving legdrop. Jarrett hits some strikes and then a nice dropkick for two. Snow and Jarrett get into a pinning seqencee then Jarrett goes for a spinbuster but Snow counters that into a DDT but Jarrett counters!

Snow grabs the guitar that Jarrett has Head, Snow misses the guitar but Jarrett hits Snow with the head. Snow gets back up and Snow hits Jarrett with Head while the ref is distracted and gets the three count.

Winner of the Match: Al Snow! Meh. Had some good moves, but it felt like a tv match. Then again I doubt we're going to see any good matches until later on in the PPV. **

'Deadly Game' First Round Match: The Big Bossman vs Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I think the crowd was a bit surprised to be Austin coming out so early. They brawl at ringside and Austin throws Bossman to the steel steps. They enter the ring to start off the match and Austin hits a Lou Thez press then some punches to Bossman. Austin then throws Bossman to the corner and starts the mudhole stomp but Bossman hits a lowblow to Austin then starts the beatdown. Bossman places his foot onto Bossman, then hits a windup uppercut to Austin but only gets two for that. Bossman then gets in a reverse chinlock onto Austin but Austin gets up and elbows Boss in the face then hits a clothesline, then bends down for a back body drop but Bossman kicks him in the face. Austin hangs on the ropes and Bossman goes to ringside and hits an uppercut, Bossman then gets in another reverse chinlock but Austin gets back up and rams Bossman to the corner, hits some trunbuckle thrusts then gets in the mudhole stomp! Bossman then leaves the ring and Austin goes after Bossman but Bossman assaults Austin with the nightstick and gets the DQ

Winner via DQ: Austin! Fuck me and fuck these short matches! *3/4 because of the DQ finish and time wasting on Bossman trying to act important by stalling during each of his strikes.

Backstage Austin gives off a promo and says that Austin may have advanced, but the night is young. Yikes even the promos are shortened!

'Deadly Game' First Round Match: WWF European Champion X-Pac vs Steven Regal

Haha I never seen Regal and his 'Real Man' gimmick before. Kinda like it. Lockup happens and Regal gets in a headlock then punches Pac and Pac flips over Reagal and kicsk him in the face. X-Pac then hits a back suplex but only gets a two count! Pac then gets in some quick running legdrops, but misses a bronco buster at the corner and Regal hits an uppercut then applies an abdominal stretch! Regal takes down Pac with an uppercut then knees him in the face, then a snapmere and a knee drop. Regal misses a charge and Pac goes in for a sunset flip but Regal counters with a catapult! Oh wow that was pretty cool. Regal then gets in a cross double armlock of some sort but Pac is back on his feet but Regal kicks down Pac again, then gets in another armlock. Regal then hits a gutwretch suplex and then gets in a headscissor's submission onto X-Pac. X-Pac counters with a nice counter submission to the leg and Pac gets in some nice kicks, but misses another corner charge. Regal then throws Pac onto the top rope then hits a super double underhook suplex from the top rope but only gets a two count for that! Armlock to X-Pac. Regal then hits another uppercut then throws X-pac to the ropes but Pac hits a spinning wheel kick, then gets in the Brocho Buster! X-Pac then gets in a suplex and climbs the ropes but Regal shakes the ropes and X-Pac crashes onto the ropes and falls to ringside. Pac hits a suplex to the outside and already they've gone past ten minutes already. Sgt. Slaughter is sent out and tells Finkle that the match is going 5 minutes overtime. X-Pac is already at the lockeroom though but Regal goes back to get him. I guess a double countout happens and Austin gets a bye. Hmm. Also according to Wikipedia this match only went around 9 minutes so no matches have even broke the 10 minute mark yet.

Match is resulted in a double countout: Match was solid, but the ending was fucked up. **1/2

'Deadly Game' First Round Match: WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock vs Goldust

Shamrock hits some strikes to Goldust then hits a flying elbow, then a body slam to Goldust. Shamrock stomps onto Goldust then hits some stomps onto Goldust.

Goldust hits the bulldog then goes for the Shatter Dreams but the ref stops Goldust but Shamrock hits the hurricarana then hits the belly to belly suplex and then gets in the Ankle lock and gets the win

Winner of the match: Ken Shamrock! It was alright. Got real slow at the end. *3/4

Michael Cole is backstage and says that Stone Cold has refused medical attention and wants to fight in the tournament still.

'Deadly Game' First Round Match: The Rock vs Triple H

Aww they're only giving this shit under 10 minutes? Oh maybe not because Pat Patterson and Gerold Briscoe are in the ring and says that Triple H is not here tonight. Bullshit! Patterson says that Bossman is the replacement for The Rock... The Big Bossman. Annnd I'm done. The Rock sees Bossman coming in so Rock gets in a small package and gets the small package for the 3 Count! Fuck yes not they're not wasting any time for this fucking match! Onto the semi-final matchups, which are now getting a 15 time limit.

'Deadly Game' Quarterfinal Match: The Undertaker vs Kane

Undertaker is using Ministry of Darkness theme song! Man this match better get some decent time. Taker is attacking kane with some shots to the corner but Kane elbows Taker in the face then brings him to the corner and gets in some shots of his own. Kane sees Taker running up so Kane boots him in the face then clotheslines him out of the ring but Taker lands on his face.

Kane whips Taker to the corner and then hits a clothesline to the corner, then climbs the ropes and hits a diving clothesline but still only gets two! They exchange blows now and they get each other in for The Chokeslam and Kane ends up Chokeslaming Taker to the ground.

Winner of the match: Mankind! Almost two hours into this shit and we finally a match that went over the 10 minute mark... by 20 seconds lol. This is also the first match that was PPV quality. Now was it perfect? Not by a long shot, but I'll take what I can get at this point. ***

The McMahons and Co. leave the arena from the limo and leave the arena, then Austin carjacks a truck from some poor bastard and goes after the McMahon limo.

Rock takes down Taker with a shoulder block but Taker grabs Rock by the throat but Kane comes in and Chokeslams The Rock into the ground, and Kane gets Taker DQ'ed!

Winner of the match via DQ: The Rock! Match was pretty slow, not going to lie. It picked up a little when Bossman came out (oddly enough), but when Kane came out and caused the DQ is what made this match become 'meh' again. **

Michael Cole is backstage with Mankind, who is now wearing another suit, and Mankind says that he has one more Rock to climb, and if everyone knows what The Sock is cooking. His face is what made that 10 second promo great.

Triple Threat Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship: New Age Outlaws(c) vs The Headbangers vs D'Lo Brown vs Mark Henry
Aww they couldn't have made this an elimination tag team match to somewhat keep up with the Survivor Series tradtion?

'Deadly Game' Tournament Finals Match: Mankind vs The Rock

And it's time Ladies and Gentleman. Oh look at that The Rock comes in and hits the Rock Bottom and wins the whole tournament after a 2 seconds!! BULLFUCKINGSHIT!!!!

Naw just kidding folks. During The Rock's Entrance The McMahon's are back at the arena and Shane and Vince both tell Bossman that they want to personally take care of this match. Also Shane is wearing the referee's shirt still. Foreshadowing ftw! Alright Mankind and Rock both get into a lockup to start off the match.

The Rock was with The McMahons the entire time? Whaaaaat? Swerve!!

Winner and NEW WWF Champion... THE ROCK! Finally a PPV worthy match that's actually good! Keyword: good. A brawl all around and the crowd was really into it. A little nice swerve at the end which allowed him to claim the WWF Championship! Not going to lie I was expecting a shitload of interferance, but I'm glad that didn't happen. Match would've been raised higher but it was an eye roller that they reenacted the Monteral Screwjob for this match. ***1/2

Post Match: Vince comes into the ring and says that The Rock didn't screw the people, the people screwed the people. Adding salt to the still open wound eh Vince? He calls them gullible and Mankind looks dissapointed, and says that tonight is a good night because Austin got royally screwed in that very ring. And just like Rock's 2003 heel run, then fans cheered for Rock when he insulted them. Mankind claims he doesn't understand and The Rock attacks him from behind, then hits The Rock Bottom onto Mankind. Shane presents the crowd the Coporate Champion The Rock and the crowd is giving off a mixed reaction from the crowd. But they cheer once The Rock comes down the ring and Austin looks pissed. Austin runs down the ring and Austin attacks The Rock. The McMahons bail from the ring and Austin brawls with Rock, hits the Stunner and throws Rock out of the ring. Rock grabs the belt and throws it on top of Rock and gives Mankind the Stunner because he can. Austin enters the ring again and hits the mudhole stomp onto Rock at ringside. Austin then leaves the ring and walks up the ramp. Rock and Shane are in the ring to end the show.

Closing comments: This kinda reminded me of the Gold Rush tournament that happened on RAW in 2005. It was a terrible PPV except for the Main event, but ultimately this felt like a big episode of RAW. I'm glad that the WWF tried to take a different approach for Survivor Series to keep things interesting but obviously this didn't work out as expected. Now believe or not this did get a nice buyrate of 477,839 compared to last year of 320,723, but that being said every PPV in 1998 had a bigger buyrate than in 1997. Still this was my least favourite Survivor Series that I've watched so far while doing this review.

Survivor Series 1999

Last Survivor Series of the 90's, and the second last PPV into we reach the new millennium. RIP 90's, hello 2000's! Anyways looks like that we're getting an actual PPV, not just a shitty tournament which had crap matches throughout the night. Looking like a solid main event is about to happen here tonight: The Rock vs Stone Cold vs Triple H! Fuck yes!

Survivor Series 2000

Woot first Survivor Series of the 2000's! Let me just say that this event has the best graphics for Survivor Series in my opinion. The match cards, the poster art and the opening sequence is my personal favourite for Survivor Series. With all of that said it's time to see how this Survivor Series goes! Oh and this marks the first time since 1994 where the WWF Championship wasn't on the line in the main event, and since then the WWF Championship has changed hands every year at Survivor Series. Hmm.

Closing comments: It was an alright PPV. Not the greatest considering it had Rock, Austin, Angle, Taker, Triple H and the Radicalz, but Survivor Series has definitely pulled out worse before. Of course this is all a leadup for the Armageddon HIAC match next month anyways. Yes people there are 3 different storylines going into that match, it's not 6 random dudes going inside of it. Which would explain why Kane wasn't in that rather than Rikishi... kinda.

Winner and Sole Survivor of the match: The Rock! An exellent main event! It had plenty of action and a double turn which was a nice touch. The ending was pretty awesome considering that Angle screwed over Austin which was a riot. Shane being a dick at the beginning of the match was fun, and I loved it when Shane got creamed by everyone to get eliminated. Can't say the match was perfect howver because there was a couple of botched spots in the match that looked pretty bad (there was an akward spot with Jericho and Austin that I think I forgot to mention. ****1/2

Closing comments: Probably the best Survivor Series that I've seen so far. The midcard was pretty fucking solid (except for the Battle Royal) and even the Diva's match was great. The main event was great too which made this whole show pretty enjoyable. It's seldom that an angle ends at Survivor Series, but one of WWF's biggest angles finally came to an end which is alway a good thing, no matter how good or bad it is. A small gripe though is how besides Tajiri, everyone had championship belts that's from from their rivals team. Ie Rock with the WCW title, Austin with the WWF title, Hardyz with the WCW Tag Team belts, etc.

Well except for RVD getting taken out with a Missile Dropkick. Crowd was into it and so was I. ****


Closing comments. A lot of people say that this is their favourite Survivor Series, but to me it wasn't properly put together. Yes there were great matches but it just felt like they were trying to kill time with some random crap. Like having Saliva play not once but TWICE, having that stupid Nowinski/Hardy/Steiner promo, and that odd Randy Orton promo. Good show but I think '01 was better.

3Survivor Series 2003

Oddly enough this is the PPV event that I`ve seen the most, mainly because it was my first Wrestling DVD that I bought. Buried Alive Match, Ambulance Match, 2 Survivor Series matches... and then there`s Triple H vs Goldberg. And here we go! Oh and I have a habit of spelling Goldberg as Goldbery for some reason, so I'm sorry if you see those alot.

Winners and survivors of the match: John Cena and Chris Benoit! An excellent opening match! It's a bit odd that the WWE Champion is curtain jerking a PPV in 2003, especially considering it's Brock Lesnar. Fast-paced action which got the crowd going = good enough for me. Jones was sloppy as fuck though, and Big Show wasn't the greatest here either at the start. ***

Post Match: Benoit offeers Cena his hand as a sign of respect, Cena looks at it then the crowd and accepts the handshake! Official Cena face turn!

Backstage Vince McMahon goes to check up on Shane, and wants to let him know how he feels.

Kane then picks up Shane and rams him face-first onto the ambulance, then throws him by the throat onto the ambulance. Kane then taunts Shane and executes the Tombstone Piledriver right behind the ambulance, then throws him in and closes both doors to win the match.

Winner of the match: Kane! Kinda crappy to be honest. The cameras cutting backstage just made this hilarious to watch. *3/4

Post Match: The ambulance drives out of the arena and heads to the hospital.

Backstage Brock Lesnar is with Josh Matthews and says that he didn't lose, and he didn't tap out. He scares the wits out of Josh and says that he'll beat anyone single handedly because he's the WWE Champion. Bill Goldberg then appears and introduces himself to Brock and shakes his hand! Oh shit!

Johnathan Coachman then appears with a neckbrace and appears in the ring and says that people are concerned about Coach getting 3D by the Dudleyz. Coach then says thank you for all the e-mails and phone calls and wishes everyone a good day, but 'randomly' spotted Mark Cuban in the crowd. He invites Cuban into the ring for an interview, Cuban then says that he's looking foreward to Stone Cold kicking Bischoff's ass. Coach then asks Cuban who's better, WWE refs or NBA refs. Cuban then says that all referee's suck. Man's gotta point! Bischoff then appears and forces him into the ring and says that he think's he a big man, and Bischoff says that this is building. He can have security haul his ass off or Bischoff can do it himself. Cuban laughs and gets shoved from Bischoff, Cuban then shoves Bischoff out of the ring! Cuban is acting all excited but Randy Orton comes and hits the RKO onto Cuban! Bischoff is happy that Orton took out Cuban. Probably should mention that Randy Orton is part of Team Bischoff who's facing against Team Austin later on tonight.

Backstage Evolution is having a party with some 3 dollor whores and Triple H takes his shirt off. Flair then says that Triple H can't get weak in the knees yet because he has to fight, but they have a toast to Triple H. Orton then barges into the party and looks surprised to see the ladies there, then boasts that he just killed the legend of Mark Cuban. They then have another toast. Man I should get rich..

Winner and Sole Survivor: Randy Orton! Fucking excellent Survivor Series match! In terms of booking the eliminations this was pretty spot on, taking out the big slower guys like Henry and Steiner to keep the cheap heels in the ring. Kinda wish the match didn't end from outside interference, especially since all it lead to was a decent match between Michaels and Batista at the next PPV. ****

Post Match: Austin is shocked that Michaels lost, but didn't realize that Batista took down Michaels. Austin enters the ring and helps Michaels up and shakes his hand, tells him that it's ok. Austin is pissed and the crowd is dead silent until the H-B-K chants starts.

Austin's theme song plays and he comes out to the ring alone. Austin stands in the ring and doesn't do his traditional entrance taunts. He gets all emotional (minus any tears), Austin says that he started his career right there in Dallas Texas. Man Austin has a rasp in his voice. He's not happy with how things went down but he's feels justified that it ended at Dallas, Texas. Austin says that he doesn't say this match but he loves the shit out of the fans. The Coach then comes down with security while singing the 'Goodbye' song.

Austin punches Coach in the face and attacks all of the security and stunners the one. He dumps them all out of the ring but he traps Coach at the ropes and mocks him. Coach says sorry but Austin hits the mudhole stomp to Coach, brings him to the ring and hits the Stunner onto Coachman. "That's the final stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin!" - King. I believe it. . Austin then drinks some beers in the ring and leaves two cans in the center of the ring.

WWE Unscripted Book is plugged. Michael Cole and Tazz are now talking about Austin, and now the irony is that Mr. McMahon may be going as well. A video package then plays.

Tazz's Key's To Victory. Gotta recap them because they're pretty funny.

Undertaker:
1. Oh, those evil submissions
2. Home field advantage
3. Match experience

Mr. McMahon:
1. Mental Stablility
2. InVINCEable confidence
3. AVOID THE HOLE!

Buried Alive Match: The Undertaker vs Mr. McMahon.

McMahon is thrown back inside the ring and Taker looks at the graveyard and goes it it, grabbing the shovel and bringing it back to the ring. Taker shows off the shovel and SMACKS THE SHOVEL ONTO THE FACE OF MCMAHON! Holy shit the impact was fucked! . Taker then drags McMahon by the steps and takes off the top part, places his foot on top of the lower one and drops the top part onto the foot! Taker then picks up Vince onto his shoulder and walks to the gravesite. Taker drops McMahon onto the dirt and tries to pick him up but McMahon throws some dirt to Taker's eyes, then hits a low blow to Taker! McMahon has the shovel and hits Taker in the face and falls into the grave! McMahon has a smile on him but Taker throws McMahon into the grave. Taker then goes to the tractor carrying the dirt and climbs onto it but some fire goes off and Kane shows up! Kane punches down Taker and places him into the grave and drags McMahon out of the grave! McMahon climbs and enters the tractor. Kane grabs an elbow pad and raises his arm as the tractor's shovel is raised, then the dirt is dropped into the grave and buries The Undertaker!

Winner of the Match: Mr. McMahon! Well the second shocker of the night. Second time that the crowd was shocked and fell silent after a match. Huge bloodfest by McMahon, pretty much an asskicking but setting up Kane/Taker at WM 20 in a pretty awesome manner. RIP American Badass Undertaker! **3/4

Post Match: Kane looks at the grave and laughs out loud. No music is being played for Mr. McMahon and the crowd is in complete shock. Second time this night.

Video package for the World Heavyweight Championship is being played. Started out good but kinda ended in an anti-climatic fashion.

Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: Goldberg! Know what's good about this match? It was under 15 minutes. Honestly it was pretty sloppy and the referee getting distracted every minute got annoying real quick. **

Post Match: Goldberg leaves the ring and lets a kid touch the title. Man his face was priceless.

Closing comments: Good event, terrible main event. Having 2 shocking moments back to back was pretty interesting, and it was quite amusing when the crowd died halfway through the main event.

Survivor Series 2004

Going back down to the 4 on 4 Survivor Series matchups. Loving the trend of putting good rock music as the theme songs. Speaking of theme songs, the title for this one is called "Ugly", which describes the poster for this event. Ugh.

Winners and survivors of the match: John Cena, Big Show and Eddie Guerrero. Decent matchup. Kinda fast but the opening 3 minute chase between Cena and Carlito kinda took some time off the match.

Winner and STILL WWE Champion: John Bradshaw Layfield. This reminds me waaay to much of Booker T's matches vs Triple H w/Ric Flair. Not neccessary a bad thing as this was good. The fans didn't really take Booker T seriously, and with Jorden getting involved quite a bit made the crowd knew that Booker wasn't walking away with the belt. ***

Tribute to the Troops is being plugged.

Evolution is backstage and Triple H asks Batista about Edge and Snisky. They know about the game plan but Batitsa says that Snitsky and Edge are just in this match to go after Triple H's title. Oh yeah I forgot to mention before that the winning team of the RAW Survivor Series match gets to run RAW for a month, well each member gets a week to himself. Anyways Triple H says that Evolution will run RAW for the first two weeks, and that when their time is up, Edge and Snisky will be in no condition to challege for anything. After Triple H leaves Batista says that he can't wait for his week to come up. Oh shit! Speaking of this I should look up the next four weeks, because I'm pretty sure that those four shows actually kicked major ass (except for the week with... wait can't ruin it yet). Video package then plays for the Survivor Series match.

Randy then waits for Triple H to get back up and goes for the RKO but HHH hits the low blow onto Orton. Triple H goes for the Pedigree onto Orton but Orton counters for the RKO and gets the three count!

Winner and Sole Survivor of the match: Randy Orton! A pretty good Survivor Series matchup. There was a couple of odd booking moments such as Maven making his return to the match but getting pinned a minute later. I wanted to see Orton and Triple H duke it out rather then finish that part quickly as well. But there was some finer moments like Orton acting like a true G.O.A.T. Superstar, and Triple H and Snitsky going at it. Kinda hard to rate this one tbh. ***2/3

Backstage Eric Bischoff is getting warmed up and McMahon approaches him to wish him luck in his match against Teddy Long. Bischoff is looking foreward to be seeing RAW defeating Smackdown, and be wanting to make history at Survivor Series. He notes that Vince screwed Bret back in 1997 and Bischoff openly states that he's going to screw Cena, and says that the fans will be chanting 'You Screwed Cena', then chants it multiple times until McMahon points behind him and Cena is there! Ahh 2005 Cena with the gay jokes. And Mr. McMahon tries to act all gangster with Cena, Cena says that he's here to take care of buisness then McMahon says 'keep it up my smurf' He then does his mighty walk around Booker T and Sharmell Booker then goes 'tell me he didnt just say that.'

Edge then says that people are afraid because he tells the truth. Edge then states that Dimitri Young is in the house, and would ask him some questions should he be on the show, like how it feels to be part of a team that sucks, and if the team sucks because of the lack of skill or the lack of roids. Dimitri looks pissed. Edge then says that he doesn't think that he's injecting any foreign substances, except for cheesburgers, fatty. : He then goes on and says that Detroit doesn't bring anything to the table. He then insults the Detroit teams. Good ol' Edge. Lita then points out that Dimitiri Young wants to say something. Edge in invites Mark Henry, err Dimitri Young into the cutting Edge. Lita goes to ringside and Dimitri says that they have some similarities. He hits balls, and Edge has no balls. Dimitri then points out all the championships in Detroit, then asks Edge where his World Championship? Edge then says just like Ford and GM, they're getting out of there. . I take it back, this segment was entertaining and was worth putting it on this show.

He enters it and the Taker attacks everyone in the ring, except for Orton and Orton Sr. who's standing on the stage. Taker does the cuttroat taunt and that ends Survivor Series. Huh.

Overall comments: Good show, decent main event, the usual points. Nothing too special I guess other then the fact that I was let down from the main event somewhat.

Team Legends (Ric Flair, Sgt. Slaughter, Ron Simmons, Dusty Rhodes w/Arn Anderson) vs Spirit Squad (Kenny, Johnny, Nicky, Mitch)

So I'm guessing this is a 4 on 4 Survivor Series Match with one of the Spirit Squad Members standing at ringside (Mitch). Mikey shoves Simmins but Simmons shoulder blocks Mikey to the ground, then they get in a lockup but Simmons shoves Mikey right to the ground. Mikey thumbs Simmons in the eye then punches him down but Simmons powerslams Simmons to the ground then clotheslines all the Spirit Squad, but Simmons gets tripped at ringside and Simmons goes after Mitch and Anderson throws Mitch into the ringside.

Dusty Rhodes then comes into the ring and hits some shots to Nicky, then hits the Bionic Elbow and gets the three count onto Nicky! Nicky has been eliminated from the match!

Mikey comes into the ring and beats the crap out of Dusty Rhodes, then tries to kick him down but Dusty won't go down. Dusty is going all out now but Johnny brings him to the corner then Kenny is tagged in who punches Dusty, but Dusty is no selling his punches and walks around the ring, then jabs Kenny in the face then hit the Bionic Elbow to Rhodes. Rhodes goes for a charge to the corner but Kenny moves out of the way and Kenny gets Dusty into a rollup and pins him right there! Dusty Rhodes has been eliminated from the match!

Flair gets ambushed from Kenny but Ric Flair gets Kenny into a small package and gets the three count! Kenny has been eliminated from the match!

Johnny tries to attack Flair but Flair hits some numerous punches, then some chops. Flair then hits a chop block to Johnny then knocks him down and applies the Figure Four Leg Lock to Johnny, Johnny then taps out!

Winner and Sole Survivor of the match: Ric Flair! I was worried this was going to be a complete squash when I saw the first two legends get eliminated from the match, but I'm glad that the legends looked dominant in the match, even if Flair did get three quick falls in a row. **

Post Match: The Spirit Squad gets the beatdown after Ric Flair has embarrased half the squad, because apparently being male cheerleaders isn't embarrasing enough on national television.

An interview is shown earlier with Michael Cole interviewing Batista. Cole asks why Batista can win this match, seeing that this is his last chance. Batista then doesn't reply and Cole asks what his thoughts are for the match. Batista doesn't answer that and Michael Cole plays a recap of the contract signing last time on Smackown.

Team DX(Team Extreme, CM Punk and DX) vs Team Rated RKO (Johnny Nitro, Crusiorweight Champion Gregory Helms, Mike Knox, World Tag Team Champions Rated RKO)

Team DX is getting the crowd pumped up before Team Rated RKO comes out, then they do the usual DX opening. Hot damn the crowd is one fire for these guys. I'm giving a 5 to 1 odds that jobber champion Gregory Helms gets eliminated first. . Mike Knox and Triple H are both starting off the match, but Triple H gets Kelly Kelly up to the apron but Knox slaps Triple H across the face, but Shawn Michaels hits the Sweet Chin Music onto Knox then gets the three count. Huh looks like I'm wrong, Knox got eliminated first. Mike Knox has been eliminated from the match!

Shawn asks Triple H who was that. then Johnny Nitro comes into the ring. Michaels and Nitro get into a lockup but Michaels ends up running around the ring multiple times, jumping over Nitro several times as well. Michaels enters the ring and hugs Melina without knowing it was her while Melina hugs him back, thinking it was Nitro. They both realize who they're hugging and scream while moving away. I seeing that on Youtube and was laughing pretty badly. Michaels goes inside the ring and chops Nitro in the chest, then tags in Jeff Hardy into the match!

Johnny Nitro has been eliminated from the match![/B]

Edge is in and slams Punk to the corner, then punches him in the head and goes for a charge but Edge gets booted in the face. Punk goes for the 10 punches but Edge throws Punk to ringside. Punk enters the ring but Orton is tagged in and they hit a double dropkick to Punk!

Final Notes: Probably the worse Survivor Series of the 2000's so far, and it was pretty disappointing considering it was the 20th anniversary Survivor Series (not that the WWE really aknowleged that but still). It was pretty dreadful and the matches literally got fuck all for time, I think the longest match was the main event which was not even 15 minutes long. Hope it gets better in the next couple of years, but considering that the 2007 product gets worse (imo) then I doubt the 2007 edition will be all that great. But we'll see I guess!

Edge grabs the steel chair and places Taker's head onto the steps and does the Con-Chair-Co onto Taker! Edge then slides Batista on top of Taker and the referee is forced to count the pin, getting the three count!

Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: Batista! Nice little ending of Edge screwing over The Undertaker. Kinda defeats the whole point of the Cell if people can interfere in the match but whatever. The match itself was pretty dry, lots of sloppiness from both guys. **3/4

Post Match: Edge attacks Taker with the Steel Chair and knocks him out in the ring. Edge then retreats to the stage as Taker stares at Edge dead on from inside the ring.

Closing Comments: The HIAC match was meh, but the Orton/Michaels bout was a nice pure-wrestling style matchup despite the Blue stipulation. The Survivor Series matchup was good for what it was, I mean Team Umaga that is. I loved the opening though and I wish they gave it more time to actually add in either more moves or some pyschology but I'll take what I can get.
