Thoughts on WWE Survivor Series

Last night was the Survivor Series, one of WWE’s longest running pay-per-views and one of the big four. It was definitely a crazy night. The first match was Team Morrison taking on Team Miz. Some of the cool parts in this match were Evan Bourne flying around as always and the stare down of the two Irishmen Sheamus and Finlay. Miz, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre ended up winning the match and being the survivors

Next up was Batista and Rey Mysterio. Mysterio started off the match quick but as soon as Batista got a hold of him the match was pretty much over. Batista gave him 2 spine busters, and 3 Batista bombs. After the match Batista beat him up even further and left him to be carried out on a stretcher. I have to say I love Batista as heel and I think thats how he needs to be used. He’s a good face, but a better heel because of his brutality.

Up next was team Kofi vs. team Orton. Before the match they had a funny backstage segment with Team Kofi because Christian was the only white guy on the team. It was a very funny moment that got a lot of people laughing. I really love how Kofi came back from facing CM Punk and Randy Orton. They are really pushing Kofi Kingston to the next level. I will be curious to see what he does in the future.

The first triple threat match of the night was Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho. The match went the way I thought it would. Show and Jericho double teamed the Undertaker until it was time for them to try and win. Then they started breaking apart and Big Show went after Jericho. Undertaker eventually locked in Hells Gates on Big Show and retained his World Championship.

I am not even going to talk about the Diva’s match because it was boring. All I will say is that Mickie and Melina were the Survivors which I had a feeling they would be anyways. Nothing special happened in this match.

Then the Main Event of the night. Shawn and Triple H came out together which I really didn’t like but oh well. After the bell rang the first thing that happen was Shawn giving Triple H Sweet Chin Music and knocking him out. Then once Shawn and Cena got on the outside Triple H gave a spine-buster to Shawn Michael right through a table. It was a really good triple threat match which saw Shawn and Triple H go at it for awhile. I loved it because Triple H and Shawn have a really good matches. Cena eventually took advantage of DX’s implosion and retained his WWE title. It was a really good match, one of the better triple threat matches I’ve seen because of all the tension in this match.

I would rate Survivor Series 3 stars out of 5 because it decent matches, but not a lot of excitement up until the last match. The last match pretty much made the whole pay-per-view for me. I really wanted the title off John Cena but I didn’t get my wish. It was a good pay-per-view and I was satisfied with what I saw.
