WWE Survivor Series Discussion Thread

Raw vs Smackdown ten kan tag was the match of the weekend.

I'll give it a distance number 2

Expecting even ten minutes from these two is wishful thinking.

Also, we were complaining about the show being too long and now that it ended earlier.....we don't like that?

I'm not even complaining, I thought it was funny. But WWE definitely thought going in they could at least get a 7 minute minute sleeper out of it. They promoted the shit out of it. Once he dropped Rusev and tweaked his knee or whatever it was against the security guards, they must have realized a 7 minute match would have sucked worse than 2004. I give zero cares as I will view the 5-on-5 as the main from here on and I was sent home happy with it.

WCW'a monster beat WWE's, WCW lowkey won

At least there's some minor good news for WCW fans. He should have worn his WCW trunks...

That might be true but WWE are stupid for having such little faith. Nothing bad could have happened in 10 minutes.

Did you watch their match in 2004?

That's cause the crowd turned on them since they were both leaving

It wasn't just the crowd. It was awful. I wouldn't expect much differently here. We were sparred in the end.

Whatever anythings better than a squash.

If this was a UFC finish, we would've creamed our jeans.

The entire angle was booked like a big fight and Cole was reinforcing Brock being too cocky and got caught as a result of it.

 

[Crippler]

Now I know why WWE gave the next 3 months free if you signed up now

 

[Sabretooth]

IF WWE does something more with this im fine. If Goldberg just says K thanks and leaves and Brock moves on then I really don't fucking see the point. I mean this did make their top draw look like shit after four years so they gotta do something.

Goldberg already booked for the Rumble (maybe not the match itself, but the show, apparently)

This was my fav match since Lesnar destroyed Cena at Summerslam (not to say it's the best match, but my favourite). Doing new, unexpected shit is good. And important. It's keeps things interesting and entertaining. I actually care about what happens next. If you had told me earlier today I'd want to see a rematch between these two, I would have assumed I would have said "fuck that, Goldberg looked old as hell and Lesnar's matches are all the same anyway". But now? I'd pay to see that. I don't even know how you work it. Does this mean that Goldberg can't work a real match? Can the dude even take a German suplex at this point? IDFK. But watching this shit with a roomful of casual fans, only half of whom actually knowing who Goldberg was, the reaction was unanimously "holy shit, that's crazy and awesome and I didn't see it coming", I would say that the WWE made the right call.

Would Lesnar keeping his unpinned streak alive a while longer to have some up-and-comer finally beat it be cool? Sure. Did Goldberg need the win? No. But fuck it. Lesnar lost his first match back and traded wins with Triple H before suplex city started. This doesn't hurt his cred. And I don't think the dude gives a fuck as long as he gets paid, for whatever that's worth.

The rest of the card was tight. Tag team and main event survivor series matches were both real good. IC title match was real good. CW title match almost had me caring about CW title matches. Takeover was good also. Good wrestling weekend. It's like Wrestlemania 3. Lots of Savage-Steamboat type things in that you have some quality stuff and then you cap it off with a "holy shit the spectacle of wrestling is hella neato" in the end. Nothing to complain about. I'd rather be talking about this then about how Goldberg had no business working a long main event match (which, really, he probably never has).

Also, Shane O' is getting too old for this shit.

 

[Deezy]

Short match worked best because there was no way they were going to follow the last match that almost went an hour.

 

[Deezy]

Not a good night for Shane-O-Mac

 

[Dale]

I have zero problems with that main event at all, it was a legit holy shit moment. They could have had a full on match with Goldberg winning and it would still have had the same reaction, only thing was we'd have had to watch the trainwreck inbetween all of that.

The rest of the show, I just didn't enjoy it for the most part. There was just way too much fuckery and questionable decisions in every single match pretty much, it just killed my interest. I guess when they literally opened the show with the Nikki Bella switch, it was a sign of things to come throughout the rest of the night regarding fuckery.
