Topic: Wrestling?

*I assume that nobody cared about Sheamus against Big Show, including me. I stand corrected. About time that the boking of Sheamus changed, the main event of Smackdown was horrible with a capital H(but still better than RAW).
*After HiaC, Ryback is now officially Goldberg 2. The turning point in his career was similar to this, the only thing missing was Nash with a taser. And I ain't sure if WWE can pull the wool even over the eyes of their young audience with that. It's not that hard to google Goldberg to find out what the guys in the funny shirts three ranks below you are chanting, even for a kid. I really don't get it how someone can compare Ryback to the greats in Power wrestling like Warrior, Sid Justice, Vader, Goldberg or Batista. It's not the guy himself that bugs me, it's his mediocre moveset, his marching around and that suit. Ryan Reeves can go and look good in the ring, I have no doubt about that since Nxt, but the character Ryback is horrible.
*Swagger is the all american American, I did not understand that this guy is heel from the start. I don't know if he can be huge, but I am pretty sure he can get some sympathy with that in the USA. He probably will always stay a poor mans Kurt Angle, but who can catch up with Kurt Angle? Pair him up with Kaitlyn or Aj. The girl next door and the all american American. Just look how over Jim Duggan still is.

Stole this one online, glad I didn't spend my money

Hell In a Cell proved to be less then great.

Very glad I ordered TNA's Bound For Glory instead.


Tag Title match was pretty good, just hope they don't do a bullshit "Kane got mad! Failed anger management! Stripped of Tag Titles!" Kind of deal, which would suck.


Big Show vs Sheamus was my favorite match of the night. Hard hitting, power lifting, kickouts people didn't see coming. The fact that Sheamus actually lost the title to Big Show was something that I don't think alot of people saw coming, and at least he's actually willing to lose to Big Show and the WMD Punch, unlike Mr. Cena.


Ryback vs Punk was meh. There is honestly no point in using a Hell in a Cell if you aren't going to use the cell during the match itself. The referee finish, I will admit, was kind of fun. It's been a while since we had a corrupt ref that knew the finish from the start. What I am going to hate is tonight, when Michael Cole or JR claim that Ryback "caused the most destruction that we have seen inside the Hell in a Cell Ever!/In years!" Despite the fact that he didn't do anything big.

So now we can finish Cena vs Punk at Survivor Series, have Punk do another mini match at TLC, then lose the belt to The Rock at Rumble, who can lose to Cena at Mania. At the very least, we can honestly say that 2012 had no Cena as champion, despite, you know, last night being the first PPV since Mania where he didn't main event.

Raw was meh.


Sheamus basically said "I want my title rematch" then picked up Big Show. Is it just me, or does Big Show seem a lot smaller in the ring now? He used to tower above guys in the ring, but now it seems like everyone is very close to his height. Is it the bald head? Is it the newer camera angles since WWE went to HD? Dunno. But it be weird.


Team Punk vs Team Foley. I admit, did not see that coming. Was fully expecting Cena vs Punk again.

I know the IWC will be bitching about this match, claiming its predictable and made up of rivalries we just saw last night and blah blah blah. Fact is, these are two pretty good teams. Punks team is made of talent and win. Foley's team has interest as well. Daniel and Kane could cost one or the other an elimination, Orton could very well turn his back on Foley during the match, and Ryback will just go "SMASH!"


Funny that NOW Ryback cuts a promo. If he had done that 4 weeks ago, and kept it up, maybe the match would have been more interesting.



So Foley tells Punk that "I gave you a chance to be a legend by facing Cena at Hell in a Cell and you blew it!"

Ummmm....Cena backed out of the match of his own accord. He GAVE Ryback the shot. So how did Punk blow anything?
Typical WWE Face promo. Always blame the Heel, no matter what the truth is.

So true. Sometimes I just don't know what to say about the logic gaps WWW throws at the fans. Sworn enemies team up at the most stupid of times. And even when people say their writers come from soap operas, they clearly don't. We have a soap opera here for over 20+ Years, and Bold and Beautiful in the states runs even longer. What do they have in common? The bad guys go overs fairly regular or come out looking good, not only once in a blue moon like in WWE. And smaller cast bad guys sometimes win over the powerful heroic casts in this series where a match AdR vs Yoshi Tatsu is as predictable as the sunset. Fix that, and I would be a happy with WWE.

SS Match itself has a bunch of guys I would like to see, and some I would rather not, but that's ok. My only concern is that Ryback goes over and kills the whole Team Punk once he is in. Vintage Survivor Series is so kickass for a simple reason, rare is the match where a team is comletely wiped out without the other team loosing at least one member.

Linda McMahon got got in her second run for senator. That' was a lost war on every front, the level of fail here is simply amazing and really expensive.

Maybe now many wrestlers could be in line to be future endeavoured?

Its best to look at this era of WWE, for a new younger audience, passing the torch on as it always happens with anything. Movie's, TV, comics, games, cartoon's a big one, always have the trait....sometimes to bring in new merchandise/propaganda etc, but everything changes through the years.

WWE On RAW the other night "Well wait a second. Traditional Survivor Series match? Nah, that's too good. Just can it out of nowhere and make a crap triple threat between Punk, Cena, and Ryback."

While the IWC is no doubt talking shit about it, as usual, I have to say Survivor Series tonight was a pretty good show.



Opening match was fun and got a good start.


Main Traditional Survivor Series match was epic, with an ending that was unexpected.


Big Show vs Sheamus was fun, and will lead into a specialty match at TLC, which will allow for new things to be done.

Triple Threat, as "predictable" as it was, (Seriously, it didn't matter who won, the cry would still be "It was predictable!" Obviously somebody has to win the damn match, but the IWC would crap over any of the three possiblities.)
Was still entertaining, and will lead into something storyline wise with the three NXT guys. Now Punk can, hopefully, get one new throw away challenger for TLC, before he loses the belt to The Rock, which, of course, the IWC will spend all their time bitching about instead of just enjoying the one time only match.


After which, I shall continue to bitch about the IWC.

" title="Razz" /> I have to chime in on this one. Survivor Series, was at best OK in my opinion.

The opening SS match, I don't know if that was planned on a recent show or added on at the last minute cause I haven't been watching WWE recently, but to be blunt, I thought it sucked. It was full of the people that others whine and complain that they don't get alot of screen time, but I can see why they don't, they were incredibly boring in my opinion, and the crowd sounded like they were cheering for any and all eliminations. It was a "Really? Start it with this?" Kind of thing. If I wasn't watching with my cousins, I probably would have waited until today to watch so I could skip it.

Diva's match was the usual fare, I legit cant even remember the other matches, then there was the traditional SS main match. This one was pretty good in my opinion. Nice back and forth with the teams, though I have to question Otunga used as Rhodes' replacement...isn't really an equal exchange but it's whatever. Only problem I had is Sandow looking like shit.

Show vs Sheamus was pretty much the same match as their HIAC PPV match, with a "Uhhh..ok" sort of ending. I'd like to know why one referee could override the other. There was clearly no reason for that ref to NOT be able to count the pin. Also, why was Show pissed? Tai over here hates Triple H 2003-4 champion, but he would have grinned and nodded his head, shrugging it off. He still has the belt, what's the problem?

The Triple threat waass...not bad. It was fun at some points, not at others. The ending was great though in my opinion, awesome stuff. All in all, yeah, I'd give it 2.5/5

I expected SS to be totally crap. I stand corected again.

*Pre Show was meh, as always.
*Midcard SS Match. Again meh. Highlight was the elimination of Clay, I don't know what happened behind the curtain but this guy is clearly in the doghouse. Botchtastic Action as expected from some of the guys involved.
*US Champ Defense. Solid match, to be expected from Cesaro and Truth. Give Cesaro a feud!
*Show vs. Sheamus. Feels like a midcard match, but was solid.
*Upper Card SS match. Very nice.
*Cena vs Punk vs Ryback. As long as Ryback does not win, this can also get a TLC revival. Ryback Crickets most of the time, Vince was probably crying in the back. I always like to see new guys appear, but I am no Fanboy of Ambrose and just hope that Seth Rollins goes over. No idea who Roman Reigns is to be honest.
