Survivor Series

Are Samoa Joe and Finn Balor forming a group or something? This show should be killed "How to Piss Off Your Fan Base". Aside from the Cruiserweight match, pretty bad so far.

i am 45 mins behind. I was fine with seth beating nakamura (would have been fine with either outcome). I get wanting to keep AOP strong but they are so not over with the crowd at all as villains. It would have helped if they could have beat a babyface smackdown team. It is nice to see the crusierweights get a ppv match but this was not the night for it. Raw vs smackdown is what survivor series so what are the stakes with this match?


It would be like having a 4 of 7 nba finals and half way thru they throw in a chargers vs lions game. Its like wtf?

It looks like RAW will sweep every match and I don't know why they would do that.
Braun squashed everyone and Balor/Joe looked like complete jobbers who are about to get released. Time for Finn to turn heel or join The Elite.

Good women's match and a very good ending. Stuff like this can main event Mania if the pieces fall into place.

Ronda took a fucking beating with that stick. Huge props to her for that, she got some Tommy Dreamer marks on her.

Main Event going on so soon? This can't be a typical 8 minute Brock match unless some insane shenanigans go on.

Prediction and wishful thinking: Low blow, small package, Bryan wins.
Master of the small package Bryan was great.

Please don't hurt Brock with crossfaces, he will murder you.

Excellent main event, Brock's best match since he came back.
The booking still isn't great because Brocks aura is gone, he already lost to Roman, who are we saving his defeat for, Braun? He beat Braun like 7 times already.
Bryan doesn't look bad coming out of this but he would've looked amazing if he won.

Main event was great and I was fine with the spectacle of it all. I like the idea of an overconfident lesnar getting his ass kicked and nearly losing the match. I was sort of hopng a heel bryan would have never just taken a count out but you can not advertise a match like this and then not deliver .That si something wcw in 2000/2001  would have pulled though. I also like the idea of charlotte sort of turning heel on ronda. Charlotte is so much better as a heel and she can cheat becky out of the title leading to a becky royal rumble win and then the choice does she go for an undefeated rousey or a rematch with charlotte at mania 35.

Last two matches were matches of the night.


Ronda and Charlotte had THE match of the night. They treated this like a dirty mma match. Charlotte is better as a heel. Ronda is just Kurt angle levels of being a natural in the ring. Wonder if this changes mania plans. Let the women go on last. They’re the hottest thing right now.


Except Nia Jaxx. Fuck that. Nuclear x-pac heat and Vince rewards her.


Heel Bryan is amazing. Once punishing him was over, the fun started. Brock has fun wrestling once a year and it’s Survivor Series.


Everything else on the show sucked. Vince thinks Smackdown is nitro and just shits all over it.


Enzo snuck in as a fan and got kicked out. Wish this were ECW or Bill Watts era NWA where the locker room would have beaten him in the parking lot.

Loved this show.  Between this and Evolution, I think these have been the two best WWE PPV's of the year.


Starting with SummerSlam, I have enjoyed how WWE has taken more chances with the booking.


You can tell Brock has a tremendous amount of respect for Bryan by (a) Taking those stiff crossfaces and (b) Brock's selling of all of Bryan's offense was fantastic.  This was Brock from the Smackdown days of 02 to 04.


The Mania main event for the men has to be Brock vs Rollins, right?


Really curious if Becky will win the Rumble by eliminating Nia.


Do we think they would have done the same finish and beatdown if it was Ronda vs Becky?


Is Smackdown getting swept setting up Shane firing Paige?  Seems like questionable roster management to not have AJ nor Orton on your team.


Loved the Revival doing the powerplex. 


Why is Enzo now banned from Staples Center?

As much as I would like to see Rollins vs lesnar at mania I am holding out hope for elias vs lesnar. I do not know if elias is ready to deliver in that spot yet but it would be fun to see him try.


I do think becky vs ronda would have ended in the same way only becky would have even gotten louder cheers for doing that to ronda than what charlotte got. They should have had ronda carted out on a stretcher to make it seem more real. Her just walking out a few mins later to sell her tough ass mantra did herself no favors with the Los Angeles audience.


I hope we get a heel charlotte cheating becky out of the title to close TLC. Have rollins vs ambrose go on 2nd to last.

If this was the program for Becky, it would have been awesome.   Rousey's shine is starting to wear off.  People are going to want someone worthy to best her.


Bryan deserves a nice title run.  I hope he gets it.
