WWE: A STRONG RESPONSE
The Backstory​

Following No Mercy last night and after a difficult year with ratings and pay-per-view buys taking a downward turn, the steroids and Chris Benoit scandal, the WWE have been forced to take the company in a different direction, starting immediately.

Stephanie McMahon has been joined by Shane McMahon and Nigel Smith to head up the creative team that will see Smith take charge of writing both Raw and Smackdown. Vince McMahon has decided that wrestling and competition must become the main focus of the shows ahead of over the top storylines that have left viewers frustrated and fed up with WWE programming. It must be noted that the McMahon’s may still make appearances on television as Vince in particular sees himself as a top ratings puller.

If things couldn’t have been going much worse for the company, their top star John Cena was injured last week and will be out injured for around 7 to 12 months. With Cena pulling in a lot of ratings and being by far the top seller in regards to merchandise, it is expected that he may have some kind of role in the television shows, but that is only being discussed at the moment.

With regards to the low PPV buys, the WWE have decided that only five pay-per-views will remain in place for the next calendar year at bigger arena’s with the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, King of the Ring making its return, Summerslam and Survivor Series being the five to add importance to the shows that were lacking in meaning and were rushed like the shows that have been in place this year. With this in mind, Saturday Nights Main Event will return in March and August, but we will also see the show at the end of December too, which will start at the end of this year. By doing this, the WWE are trying to make the TV shows seem more important and to add some more credibility to them and the company in the process.

Another one of several major decisions has seen ECW scrapped immediately due to its poor ratings and feedback from agents. This was seen to be coming for a long time and with its small roster, they have been split between both Raw and Smackdown rosters, which have also seen some changes between them, but none of any major note this far.

However, several workers have been removed from the rosters on WWE.com with Ric Flair and King Booker along with his wife Queen Sharmell apparently leaving the company after lots of speculation around their current situations. This is not seen as a big surprise as Flair and Booker had made themselves very unpopular with management in the build up to their disappearance from television tapings. It must be noted that it has NOT been confirmed by either parties that they have indeed left the company. The other main departure sees Vickie Guerrero leave her role as General Manager of Smackdown, but this is due mainly to family reasons with Vickie missing her children and vice versa. No replacement has been announced yet but Teddy Long will not be making a return to television in the near future. The Major Brothers have been removed from the roster but remain in Ohio Valley Wrestling since their disastrous debut on Smackdown after leaving ECW. Mike Knox has also been released from his WWE contract while ECW General Manager Armando Alejandro Estrada’s profile is no longer on the WWE website, but he has not been released, this is the same situation that Tazz, Joey Styles, Kelly Kelly, Layla and Brooke find themselves in since ECW’s demise.

On the injury front, John Cena as we know is out for the considerable future, Edge is recovering well and is set to return in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Bobby Lashley is pushing for a return at the end of the year and Gregory Helms is the only other long term absentee with a severe neck injury that will see him out until around June next year. Shawn Michaels remains on the sidelines at home following knee surgery several months ago, but there is no word on whether he is ready to return just yet.

On the TNA front, Bound For Glory takes place in six days time boosted by the news that they have signed former WWE superstars Rob Conway and Rob Van Dam. Any WWE return for Van Dam has officially gone out of the window now. However, the Chris Jericho debate continues to go on with neither Jericho or the WWE confirming that he has indeed signed a contract following the cryptic messages that have been displayed on Raw over the last few weeks.

Heyman Deciple’s SmackDown Review

Hey Nige sorry for not reviewing you lately, what can I say the holidays make me lazy, Any way here’s the review.

Batista – Edge, John Morrison, Miz – William Regal: Batista’s promo was damn good. Then out comes Edge, Morrison, and Miz who as a group I really like. Edge delivers a fine promo himself and then here’s William Regal who makes a handicap tag match for later in the show. All in all this was a great segment.

Kenny Dykstra and Jamie Noble join commentary: This was a nice quick segment as Noble and Kenny join the commentary that I really enjoyed. JBL telling Cole to basically shut up is always fun and Jamie Noble was really in character as he pretty much told Michael Cole to do the same.

Matt Sydal & Johnny Jeter vs. Chavo Guerrero & Matt Striker: This was a solid match and a nice win for Sydal and Jeter. What happened after the match was good too, as it looked like Kenny and Noble might go after Sydal and Jeter but then out came Super Crazy and Jimmy Wang Yang and we have a little bit of a stare down. Good stuff.

William Regal – Shawn Michaels: Nice interaction here between Shawn and Regal as Regal books Shawn in a Main Event tag match with Shawn teaming up with Matt Hardy and them taking on MVP and Finlay. Which should be a great main event. The segment then ends with Shawn letting it be known he has his eyes on a future World Title shot.

Harry Smith vs. Charlie Haas: This was a great match as I am a fan of both guys work and I was glad to see Harry Smith get the win. We also got some solid Survivor Series hype as each man had their Survivor Series partners with them around ringside.

Jamie Noble – Kenny Dykstra – Chavo Guerrero: This was good, as we get some more of Jamie Noble’s awesomeness. I liked how Noble put Kenny in his place regarding the Cruiserweight Title and then Chavo enters the situation and lets it be known that he’s the man that will ultimately walk out with the Cruiserweight title.

Estrada and Umaga interview: Nice interview here with Estrada, as I found him to be very entertaining here as he talked about the Survivor Series World Title match with Batista and Edge and then the tag match later in the show as Umaga will team with Batista.

Undertaker vs. Kevin Thorn: Good match, I felt that you helped to make Kevin Thorn look real good here even though he was defeated by the Undertaker. As I said, this was very good.

MVP – Finlay: This was a fun segment, I enjoyed MVP’s promo as they talked about Survivor Series, as well as the tag match later. And the New England Patriots reference was just awesome.

Shawn Michaels Interview: I really liked Shawn’s interaction with Anastasia. This was damn funny stuff. Shawn’s promo was good too and the Finlay sex toy line was great.

Batista & Umaga vs. Edge, John Morrison, & Miz: Good match, I liked how at the end Umaga left Batista laying which enabled Edge to pick up the pin fall victory over Batista. I was happy with this ending as it was a good win for my new second favorite super group after The Mets; Edge, Morrison, and The Miz.

Survivor Series promo video: This was well done as the video did a good job of hyping up the Survivor Series and making people want to see it.

Shawn Michaels & Matt Hardy vs. MVP & Finlay: This was a great main event, too bad it ended in a disqualification but still it was a great match and I actually liked the attack from Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy with the element of surprise and all. This also does a nice job of building towards Survivor Series with Team Orton beating down Shawn Michaels and Matt Hardy. The show then ends strong as the lights go out and the Undertaker is in the middle of the ring as Team Orton is on the outside.

This was an amazing show; I give it a 9 out of 10.

And if you feel like giving my BTB a look that would be appreciated, Thanks.

NARRATOR: On a night where one thing is paramount, gladiators will enter the arena with ambitions and dreams. Dreams will be shattered and failed ambitions will shatter many a gladiator. . . Dreams come and go. Family remains, but on this night, family stands for desolation as this family prepares for war, and when all is said and done, only one gladiator will be able to call himself the true survivor!


***CUT TO THE ARENA***


***PYRO***
***PYRO***
***PYRO***
***PYRO***


***CUT TO RINGSIDE***


First we go to the Smackdown announce table and Michael Cole with John “Bradshaw” Layfield

Cole: Welcome everybody to the 2007 WWE Survivor Series. . . Right here tonight, you are going to see history made. As for the first time ever, you will see two singles titles defended in traditional Survivor Series elimination matches

JBL: But that’s not all Michael. We get to see what everyone in this arena has come to see tonight. . . the return of Edge as World Heavyweight Champion

Cole: Oh please! . . . There’s no doubt Edge has a chance of winning the World title tonight, but he has an uphill struggle as he competes in a triple threat match with Umaga and the current World Champion, Batista. . . Anyway, that’s enough from us for now. Let’s go over to our broadcast partners from Raw. . . JR and The King


We then cut to the Raw announce table with Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler

JR: Thanks Michael. . . There is no doubt it could be a historic night here in Meadowlands, New Jersey, because we are going to witness arguably the most anticipated elimination match ever when Shawn Michaels’ team go head to head with Team Orton

King: There’s no doubting JR that we’re in for an amazing night tonight, but I think that the first match on everyone’s mind tonight is the street fight between Triple H and Mr. McMahon

JR: Oh absolutely King. All the pure hatred between father-in-law and son-in-law will come to a head tonight in what could well be one of the most brutal matches one could ever wish to see. . . But we’re kicking things off with a bang with the World Tag Team titles on the line. . .



“Hey You” blasts out as Paul London and Brian Kendrick charge down to the ring, getting a big pop

JR: . . . And what better way to start the show than these two incredibly talented superstars

King: You’re right JR, these guys are crazy

JR: They might be crazy King, but they are both very talented, and together they are as good as any team in the world today


“I’m All About Cool” hits as Deuce ‘N’ Domino make their way to the ring with Cherry in their lovely vehicle to some boos

King: Here comes my little cherry

JR: And what about the two guys she’s with King?

King: Oh right! I didn’t see them for some reason

JR: Unbelievable!. . . You know we’ve not seen the best of Deuce and Domino since they jumped to Raw, but they are former WWE Tag Team Champions, and are the team that ended London and Kendrick’s incredible run as champions, so they’re more than a threat here King. . .


Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards then make their way out to their music, getting a pop and lots of ECW chants

King: And so are these two guys JR

JR: And if you called London and Kendrick crazy, then you need a new word for these two former ECW superstars. . . Last month at Cyber Sunday they took the champions to the limit in an ECW rules match and almost left with the gold, but they get a second chance here tonight


“Cowboys” hits as Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch then walk down to the ring, looking slightly nervous and getting a lot of heat

JR: There are a lot of champions under pressure here tonight King, but probably none more so than Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch

King: These guys have a habit of getting the job done JR, so I wouldn’t count them out for a second

JR: I’m not doing that, I just think that against three teams who want to take the titles away from them, they have an uphill struggle on their hands



MATCH 1
World Tag Team Championship
Elimination Match
Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs Stevie Richards & Tommy Dreamer
vs Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (c) vs Deuce ‘N’ Domino w/Cherry


Stevie Richards & Lance Cade start the match as Stevie takes it right to Cade, putting him on the back foot straight away with a succession of right hands to the face. Cade looks stunned as Stevie hits him and then tries for an irish whip, but Cade is too powerful and reverses it. As Stevie comes back off the ropes, he ducks under Cade’s outstretched arm, runs through and then hits him with a dropkick to Cade as he turns round. Both men drop to the mat, but as Stevie gets up, so does Cade, and as Stevie then tries for another whip, it’s again reversed by Cade, who is able to lift Stevie as he comes back with a back body drop. Stevie holds his back after he lands, but is quickly back up and Cade is ready and waiting as he stomps Stevie in the gut and then nails a suplex.


Cade gets back up and then reaches down to lift Stevie back up to his feet as he then hits him with a hard forearm to the face. With Stevie looking dazed, Cade then runs past him off the ropes, and as he comes back, he hits Stevie with a knee lift to the back, knocking Richards down to the mat. Cade then backs up to the corner and slaps Deuce on the arm, who looks shocked as Cade then walks over to his corner and stands on the apron. A surprised Deuce then sees Stevie getting back up slowly, walks over and then plants him with a CUTTER. . . Richards landed hard as Deuce then turns over to make a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . CLOSE BUT NO! . . . Stevie kicks out to leave Deuce frustrated, who then stands back up and pulls Richards back up to his feet, whipping him into the ropes, but Stevie holds onto the top rope.


Deuce then runs at Stevie, but the veteran lifts his boot up into Deuce’s face. As Deuce then turns round and staggers away, Stevie walks up behind him, spins him round and nails him with a SINGLE ARM DDT. . . Cheers from the crowd as Stevie then drops down to the mat and goes for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO! . . . Deuce just kicked out of that one as Stevie then stands back up, walks over to his corner and tags in Dreamer, who gets a big pop as he makes his way into the ring. Dreamer then walks over to Deuce, reaches down to pull him up to his feet and then whips him hard into the corner. He then takes a second before running in at him, hitting him with a hard clothesline. As Dreamer then backs out of the corner, Deuce walks out dazed and Dreamer whips him into the ropes, as Deuce comes back, Dreamer lifts him up and then plants him with a FALL AWAY SLAM. . .


Dreamer is quick to cover Deuce, hooking his leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT. . . Dreamer doesn’t look too shocked as Deuce kicks out. Tommy then stands right back up, lifts Deuce up to his feet and sets him up for a DDT. . . The crowd cheer as Dreamer looks to finish off Deuce, but Deuce surprises him as he pushes Dreamer back into the ropes, and as Dreamer comes back off the ropes, Deuce hits him with a JUMPING HEEL KICK. . . Dreamer drops down to the mat as Deuce then crawls to Murdoch & Cade’s corner and lifts himself up by the ropes as Murdoch then tags himself in by slapping Deuce’s back. Deuce turns round looking shocked as Murdoch enters the ring and just stares at him.


Deuce then holds his hands up before walking back to his corner and climbing back through the ropes to the apron. Murdoch walks across to Dreamer, bends down and lifts him back up to his feet and whips him into the ropes. But as Dreamer comes back, he knocks Murdoch down with a clothesline. Murdoch picks himself back up as Dreamer then shifts behind him and drags Murdoch’s head back into position for a REVERSE DDT. . . AND NAILS IT. . . Dreamer is quick to reach over and cover Murdoch 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . THR-NOOOO! . . . Cade breaks up the cover by stomping on Dreamer’s back. Stevie looks on annoyed on the apron before climbing through the ropes, into the ring and moving towards Cade, but the ref gets in his way and tells him to get back on the apron.


And with the refs back turned, Cade pulls Murdoch up to his feet as Dreamer slowly picks himself up. The moment Dreamer stands back up, Murdoch clubs him across the back as Cade then runs into the ropes, followed by Murdoch into the opposite ropes and Cade hits Dreamer with a LEG LARIAT. . . AND Murdoch hits a chop block at the same time for the SWEET AND SOUR. . . The fans boo loudly as Cade then runs at Stevie and knocks him down to the mat with a forearm shot as the ref turns round and sees Murdoch covering Dreamer. The ref then hurries across the mat and counts the fall 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3. . . ONE TEAM DOWN. . .

Murdoch then pounces on Deuce, planting him with a BULLDOG. . .


Murdoch then stands up by London and Kendrick’s corner and slaps London’s arm, making the tag. London looks surprised before then climbing up to the top rope and then leaping off, going for the 450 SPLASH. . . BUT NO. . . DEUCE MOVES. . . Deuce then crawls slowly towards his corner and makes the tag to Domino as London remains on the mat.

London doesn’t look too shocked as Domino gets his shoulder up as he then gets back up to his feet, walks over to his corner and makes the tag to Kendrick.

As Domino gets back up to his knees, he crawls to the corner to pick himself up, and Kendrick is on him like a flash, running at him and hitting a BACK FLIP DROPKICK. . .

Kendrick gets right back up and forward rolls to his corner, tagging in London. Murdoch then steps through the ropes hesitantly as he and London then walk slowly towards each other. They then start hitting each other with right hands, but London takes control as he then stomps Murdoch in the gut three times, turns back and runs into the ropes, but as he comes back, Murdoch steps out and clotheslines him hard down to the mat. London is quick to get back to his feet but is met with a forearm shot from Murdoch who then whips London into the ropes, but as London runs back, he slides through the legs of Murdoch, runs through and as he comes back, he hits a SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER. . .

Both London and Murdoch react as they start to pick themselves back up, but it’s Murdoch who is up first as he then pulls London by the head and sets him up for a SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB. . . Still not fully recovered, it takes him a couple of seconds, but London takes advantage and back body drops Murdoch, getting a pop from the crowd.


It takes both men a good ten seconds before they are both back up, and as Murdoch turns round and runs towards London, he runs right into a SUPER KICK. . . London just falls back to the mat and on top of Murdoch as the ref counts 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOOO! . . . Murdoch again kicked out at the last second.

Murdoch is back up quite quickly, but Kendrick is waiting as he then pulls Murdoch under his arm for the CYCLONE DDT. . .


He runs to the corner, and as he turns round off the ropes, Murdoch throws Kendrick off his shoulder and down to the mat.

London then gets the crowd going by clapping for Kendrick, which gets him going as he and Murdoch start to move, but it’s Murdoch who is able to get to his corner and tag in Cade. As he gets in, he sees Kendrick getting back up and urges him up, taunting him almost. And as Kendrick does get back up and turns round, Cade charges at him and takes his head off with a LARIAT. . . Kendrick just did a 360 in the air! Cade then makes his way to the corner and climbs to the top rope.


London then returns the favour as he walks across the apron and distracts him as Cade then looks down and starts arguing with him.

Stephanie McMahon is in a room backstage, sitting on a leather sofa talking on her cell, looking on edge

***POP***

Stephanie McMahon:
I know mum, I’m sorry, truly I am. But we did it was for the right reasons. . .

There’s a knock at the door, taking Steph by surprise. A second later, Shane McMahon walks in, not looking too happy

***POP***

Stephanie McMahon: Mum, I’ve gotta go, Shane’s here. I’ll talk to you later. . . bye

Shane McMahon: What are you thinkin Steph?

Stephanie McMahon: What?

Shane McMahon: Where do I start? . . . Look, you know I agree with you on the way dad’s been to Hunter and Aurora, but making out Hornswoggle was his son and keeping this from him and me. . . You knowing who our brother is and not telling me Steph, that’s a big deal to me, I thought we were closer than that

Stephanie McMahon: Shane we are, but it’s for the best. You’ve got to see it our way. . . Do you think it’s easy for us to see your kids having a grandfather in their lives? Dad’s not shown any interest in our baby girl, not once. To dad, she might as well be dead

Shane McMahon: Steph, I can see how you might think doing what you did would work out, but this is dad for crying out loud. He’d rather walk out there and get killed tonight than accept Hunter into the family. It’s just never going to happen Steph. He’s not going to allow himself to be blackmailed by anyone, especially Hunter

Stephanie McMahon: You don’t think we’ve thought about that Shane? We’ve done nothing but think about that since Monday night. I have to sit here tonight and watch my dad and my husband try and kill each other in a Streetfight. How do you think I feel? . . . I want nothing more than for this to go all away and for us all to be a proper family Shane, but it’s just not going happen

Shane McMahon: It’s gonna help less if you keep secrets from dad. . . and me too Steph. I mean I don’t have a clue who my brother is. . . You do, Hunter does. The longer this goes on, the more people it’s gonna effect Steph. . . Do you think I don’t deserve to know who my brother is or something?

Stephanie McMahon: I never said that Shane

Shane McMahon: I know you didn’t, but you might as well have done. . . You know that dad will be hiring private detectives now to find out who his illegitimate son is, and the likelihood is, I’m gonna find out through interrogation and some lawyer. . . Steph, you’re my sister and I love you, we’ve been close ever since you were born. Please just tell me who our brother is. I deserve to know

Steph thinks about it for several seconds, looking a little guilty

Stephanie McMahon: You promise you won’t tell dad?

Shane McMahon: I promise Steph, on our kids lives

Stephanie McMahon: It’s. . .

Stephanie then whispers in Shane’s ear. Shane nods his head for a second

Shane McMahon: Really? I should have guessed, it certainly makes sense

Stephanie McMahon: Yeah, but Shane you’ve got to promise not to. . .

Shane McMahon: . . . Look Steph, don’t worry I won’t say a word. I’m on your side on this one

Shane turns round and is about to walk away when he turns back

Shane McMahon: I was going to ask you before, but the match tonight. I don’t want you to sit through it on your own, I know how hard it’s going to be for you. . . and me too. How about we watch it together?

Stephanie McMahon: Shane, that’s a great idea. I’d like it very much

Shane McMahon: No problem, I’ll come by later on

Stephanie McMahon: Thanks Shane, I appreciate it

Shane McMahon: Don’t worry sis, it’ll all work out fine. Trust me!

Shane smiles and walks out of the room with Stephanie looking more at ease

MATCH 2
Six Man Tag Team Match
Paul Burchill, Drew McIntyre & Harry Smith
vs The World’s Greatest Tag Team & Chris Masters


Burchill & Haas stand in the middle of the ring and start to exchange right hands. It only takes a couple of rights from Haas before Burchill blocks one with his left arm and starts chopping at Haas with his right hand, knocking Hass back and a little off balance. Haas takes a second and then runs back into Burchill, but he runs right into a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT! . . . Haas is able to lift his shoulder forcefully off the mat to stop the count. Burchill is back up to his feet first, and as Haas rolls onto his knees, Burchill reaches down and pulls him up to his feet, then whips Haas into the corner. Burchill waits a second before running in at him, but Haas sidesteps as Burchill then crashes into the corner pads. Haas then shifts behind him, puts his arms around Burchill’s waist and lifts him back overhead, keeping the grip locked in for a BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX . . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . .


Burchill is the one to power out this time, but Haas is back to his feet first, ready and waiting behind Burchill as he picks himself up. And the moment he is able to stand back up fully, Haas from behind, plants him with an ANGLE SLAM. . . The crowd are clearly shocked to see that as some gasps are heard. Haas gets back to his feet and thinks about going for a cover, but instead decides to walk to the corner and climbs to the top rope, facing the crowd. There’s anticipation inside the arena as Haas climbs up, and then executes a perfect MOONSAULT. . . Haas is quick to react as he lands, hooking Burchill’s leg for another pin attempt. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO!!! . . . Burchill kicks out again, Haas sits up and looks at the ref in total shock. His eyes are open wide as he stares in disbelief, and then puts his head in his hands. Burchill starts to stir, causing Haas to pull himself up to his feet.


He then reaches down to pull Burchill right back up and puts his arms around his chest, setting him up for a belly to belly suplex, but as he tries to lift him, Burchill blocks it. Haas panics, trying his hardest to lift Burchill, but the Englishman is able to counter with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. . . Decent pop from the crowd as Burchill gets back into the match.

Haas’s neck snaps right back up, and Burchill reacts instantly, planting him with a JUMPING NECKBREAKER. . . Big pop from the crowd as Burchill hits it. He then turns over on the mat and scurries across to cover Haas 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Masters gets in the ring and stomps Burchill on the back of the head, just in time to stop him getting a three count. The crowd aren’t happy with it, neither is the referee who tells Masters to get back to his corner, which he does. Burchill took a hard blow to the back of the head and feels the effects of it as he starts to crawl across to his corner. Haas too comes round and follows suit by crawling towards his corner. Burchill is at his corner first and tags in an enthusiastic looking Harry Smith.


Just as Smith is about to step through the ropes, Haas reaches up and tags in Masters. As Masters climbs through the ropes, Smith charges at him at speed, but Masters reacts well, lifting his elbow up into the face of Smith, forcing Smith to spin round and out of the corner. Masters walks out of the corner, grabs Smith by the arm and whips him into the ropes. As Smith comes back, Masters is lying in wait as he then smashes him across the chest with a DOUBLE AXE HANDLE. . . Smith drops to the mat, but Masters doesn’t allow him time to recover, lifting him back up to his feet and then lifts Smith above his head for a MILITARY PRESS. . . Keeping Smith in the air for just over five seconds, Masters then lets go and drops Smith like dead weight as Bulldog Junior drops all the way down to the mat.


Masters looks very satisfied as he then urges Smith back up to his feet, walking round him, looking like he’s ready to explode. As Smith starts to make his way back up to his feet, Masters then shifts behind Smith, getting ready to apply the MASTERLOCK. . . The crowd try to warn Smith, but as he gets back up, Masters is on him like a flash and tries to lock his killer hold in. He doesn’t count on Smith putting up such a strong fight like he does, keeping his arms in the air, frustrating Masters who tries to push them down. Smith is then able to pull his arms away from Masters grasp and turns round quickly to face him where he stomps him in the gut, places Masters’ head under his arm and lifts him into position for a suplex. He keeps Masters in the air for close to ten seconds before crashing back down to the mat with the DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX. . .


The move gets a big pop from the crowd, but Smith doesn’t go for a cover, as this time he urges his opponent up.

The crowd goes crazy as Smith walks into the corner and turns round before charging back out of the corner and planting Masters with the RUNNING POWERSLAM. . . The crowd stand up as Smith follows up for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 – NOOO, SO CLOSE! . . .

This brings in a furious Burchill, who runs across at Shelton getting back to his feet, but Shelton ducks under his arm and connects with a DRAGON WHIP. . . The ref is quick to get Shelton back on the apron, and the moment Burchill gets back up, he is ushered back to his corner.


Smith holds his head as he starts to make his way back to his feet, and Masters is able to crawl across to his corner on his knees and tag in Shelton with Smith’s back turned. Shelton charges in and up to a groggy looking Smith from behind, planting him with an INVERTED FACE LOCK BACK BREAKER straight away. Shelton drops to the mat and covers him 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT! . . . Shelton looks to get on with things, standing right back up and pulling Smith to his feet. He keeps hold of his arm and whips him into the corner. Shelton looks like he means business as he takes a slight pause before running in at Smith for a STINGER SPLASH. . . but Smith brings his elbow up into the side of Shelton’s face. As Shelton staggers out of the corner holding his face, Smith walks out, and then at the same time, Shelton turns round to be greeted with a stomp to the gut from Smith, who then places Shelton’s head between his legs.


Smith then raises him up above his head and brings him crashing down into a SIT DOWN POWERBOMB (BULLDOG BOMB) 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . This time it’s Charlie Haas who comes in to stop the count, pulling Smith off of Shelton by the feet. Boos ring out as again the ref has to warn the heel team, telling Haas as he makes his way back to the apron. Smith though wasn’t hurt as he gets back up to his feet and pulls up Shelton as he begins to stir. Smith places Shelton’s head under his arm, setting him up for a suplex and then lifts him into the air, but Smith then comes crashing down, planting Shelton with a BRAIN BUSTER. . . Shelton lands close to the ropes as Smith quickly reaches across to cover him 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 – NO . . . FOOT ON THE ROPE! . . . Shelton barely escapes this time, but Smith totally has the momentum on his side as he gets back up, then reaches down and pulls Benjamin up.


He quickly scoops him onto his shoulder and runs across the ring for the RUNNING POWERSLAM. . . BUT NO! . . . Shelton slides down the back of Smith, and Harry is unable to stop himself from running into the corner pads. He turns round and staggers out of the corner, but right into a SAMOAN DROP. . . Shelton hit it good, but he feels the fatigue of the punishment he has taken in the last few minutes as he remains on the mat. Shelton is up first and decides to walk over to his corner as Smith starts to sit up. Shelton makes the tag to Haas, who like a flash, runs over to Smith and grabs him by the feet as he tries to crawl to his corner. As Haas grabs hold, Smith is able to turn over and uses his strength to push Haas backwards to the mat. He then jumps across, using all the energy he has to make the tag. . . AND HE DOES. . . In comes Drew McIntyre.


Haas gets back up and runs at McIntyre for a clothesline, but Drew ducks underneath the arm and rolls Haas into an inside cradle for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Haas just pushes off in time and both men get back to their feet at the same time and McIntyre grabs Haas by the arm, then whips him into the ropes. And as Haas comes back, he runs right into a BIG BOOT. . . McIntyre in control, and he knows it as he then reaches down and pulls a motionless Haas up to his feet and with one arm, grabs Haas around the upper chest and shoulder. He then plants him with a SWINGING SIDE SLAM INTO A FACE BUSTER. . . IT’S ALL OVER. . . McIntyre then is quick to go for the cover, hooking the leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 – NO! . . . Chris Masters at the very last mini second is able to get in the ring and pull McIntyre off Charlie by dragging him away by the feet.


Burchill and Smith are livid and try to get at it Masters, but the ref holds them back as Masters takes a sly stomp across the back of McIntyre before returning to the apron. Burchill & Smith back off and the ref turns round to see normality has returned. McIntyre isn’t affected too much by the stomp from The Masterpiece as he is back up on his feet. Haas starts to come round, sitting up as McIntyre then tries to kill the match off, pulling one half of the tag team champions to his feet, scooping him up onto his shoulder and setting him up for a BELLY TO BELLY PILEDRIVER. . . Haas’s legs start to wriggle as he fights the hold and is able to roll himself forward and gets McIntyre into a VICTORY ROLL. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SO CLOSE! . . .


McIntyre gets his shoulder up and both men are up quickly, but McIntyre has to turn round to face Haas, already focused as he then grabs McIntyre across the upper chest for an EXPLODER SUPLEX. . . But McIntyre fights it with elbows to the side of Haas’s head. Haas lets the grip go and is then pushed into the ropes, but is able to hold onto them. Seeing this, McIntyre runs towards him, but Haas lifts his boot into McIntyre’s face. Haas then turns round to punch Smith in the face, nearly knocking him off the apron before he then runs at McIntyre and clotheslines him across the shoulders, knocking him down to the mat. Smith is pissed and climbs through the ropes, but the ref is quick to see him and walks over to try and get him back on the apron.


Seeing this, Masters then drops down off the apron, runs round and pulls Burchill off the apron by his feet, and Burchill’s face connects with the apron as he drops. Smith then drops down to brawl with Burchill. Haas walks over and looks on in disbelief with the referee, and with the refs back turned, Shelton Benjamin enters the ring as McIntyre starts to sit up. And as he gets to his knees, Shelton sees the opportunity, runs at him and absolutely nails him with the CHARGING SPIKE REVERSE STO. . . Boos ring out through the arena as Shelton is quick to return to the apron. Haas turns round and sees McIntyre out cold, makes his way over, drops to the mat and hooks his leg, yelling at the ref. The ref then turns round, runs over and counts the fall 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . THAT’S IT!


AFTERMATH: The World’s Greatest Tag Team’s music hits as Shelton enters the ring and Masters escapes Smith’s clutches on the outside to slide back in. Smith looks up in shock as the trio hug each other and raises each others arms in the air. Smith checks on Burchill on the outside as he comes round. Masters, Haas & Benjamin then look down and laugh at McIntyre as he starts to come round, before they then leave the ring with wide smiles on their faces

***HEAT***

Edge:
This better me important Regal

William Regal: Oh it certainly is, but unfortunately I have some bad news for you

Edge: Bad news. . . what do you mean bad news?

William Regal: I received a phone call earlier this evening from one of the board of directors, and he told me to pass on some information to you

Edge: Information, what kind of information?

William Regal: It appears that some of the board members are concerned that your two associates might try and help you in your match tonight

Edge: Is that how it appears Regal huh? What business of theirs is it anyway? I make those fat overweight pen pushers the money that pays for their ridiculously big mansions. . . They should be paying me even more for being the star I am, not screwing me around

William Regal: Do you think I’m happy about it? It’s my job to enforce the rules around here, but I’ve got to do what these people tell me. . . So Edge, if either The Miz or John Morrison step as close as an inch around the ring tonight, I will have no choice but to disqualify you there and then

***BIG POP***

Edge stares at Regal with pure anger. He then shakes his head, turns round and walks out of the door, slamming it on the way out

Regal tightens his tie for a second


William Regal: Well I think that went well!

Triple H lifts his head up and his eyes widen

Triple H: No Todd, it’s not a secret. There’s nothing I’d like more than to take a sledgehammer and shove it right up Vince’s ass. . . believe me. . .

***POP***

She’s so grown up Vince, I could tell you all the things we’ve done together, but it’s not gonna help us right now is it? . . . See Vince, for some bizarre reason, Steph doesn’t want to see you crash and burn tonight, whereas. . . I DO. . .

***POP***

Triple H: Vince I know the moment I step in that ring tonight, my brain will switch off, and that is the worst thing that can happen to you. . . See all these images of Stephanie telling me to take it easy will disappear, and all I’ll get is visions of me smashing your skull open, beating you repeatedly with a steel chair, over and over until you’ve taken your last breath. . .

***POP***

Triple H: . . . But you know what flashback I get the most Vince? . . . Do you have any idea what keeps going through my head ever since I found out about this match? . . . It’s the image of the last time I stepped in the ring with you in a Streetfight. You remember that Vince? Do you remember the image of Stephanie smashing you in the skull with a sledgehammer?

***POP***

Triple H: . . . You know, that means something Vince. . . it means a lot. It sort of tells the story of what your whole problem is Vince. . . See from that day Stephanie screwed you over. . . she’s been screwing me ever since

***POP***

Triple H gets a small grin on his face before walking out of the shot

Chavo sits up to his knees and he looks in absolute shock as the ref tells him to leave the ring, which he reluctantly does before taunting Yang. As Yang looks at Chavo, Noble steps through the ropes and looks to take advantage by running at Yang and clotheslines him hard, with Yang doing a 360 in the air. Noble looks down and smiles before he proceeds to pummel the crap out of Yang, getting a ton of heat from the crowd. He then reaches down and pulls Yang up to his feet, then smashes him in the face with a barrage of forearms and uppercuts before whipping him into the ropes.

Noble then takes a couple of seconds as he gets back up to his feet, slowly walks over to the corner and then climbs to the second rope. He puts Yang’s head under his arm and then climbs up to the top rope before falling back off the top for a SUPERPLEX. . . HOLY SHIT, THE RING JUST SHOOK. . . Noble remains out of it for several seconds before he crawls across the mat and covers Yang 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOOOOOO! . . . UNBELIEVABLE! . . . Noble is in complete shock as he sees the ref signal a two count.


He then snaps as he turns Yang over onto his stomach and applies a CAMEL CLUTCH. . . Yang doesn’t look in a good way, looking very groggy after the superplex moments ago. Noble really puts the pressure on as he tries to make Yang tap out. As the crowd start to get behind Yang, he starts to respond by slowly dragging himself across the mat towards the ropes. Noble seems to panic as Yang gets closer, and then lets the hold go. But he had a plan in mind as he drags Yang by the legs, away from the ropes and then applies the TRAILER HITCH. . . Yang is struggling as Noble seems like a man possessed right now, pulling tight on Yang’s legs, but again the crowd get behind him as Sydal tries to get them involved.

YANG KICKS OUT AGAIN. . . Noble is furious, he can’t believe it and stands up to yell at the referee, who explains it was a two count as Yang sits up in the background. Noble runs his hands through his head in sheer frustration as he then turns round to the sight of Yang getting back up to his feet. He throws a right at Yang, but Yang blocks it, stomps him in the chest and then is able to hit a HURRICANRANA. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . HE’S DONE IT AGAIN, NOBLE’S ELIMINATED!

Dykstra watches on from the apron in complete and utter shock, seeing the trouble he finds himself in. Yang starts to sit up and then crawls to his corner, seeing this, Dykstra then snaps out of it and climbs through the ropes and runs at Yang, but Yang is able to get to his corner with the head start and jumps up to tag Sydal. Kenny can’t stop and the momentum takes him to Yang’s corner where Sydal reaches over the top rope and hits him with a right hand.

AGAIN DYKSTRA KICKS OUT. . . Yang can’t believe it and neither can the crowd as Sydal too looks shocked from the apron.

The ref counts it 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOOO! . . . DYKSTRA HANGS ON IN. . . Sydal is gob smacked, as are the crowd whose sighs ring out inside the arena. Sydal then gets back up, runs into the ropes and SPRINGBOARDS INTO A 450 SPLASH. . .

DYKSTRA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY. . . Sydal drops to the mat clutching his stomach. Both men remain on the mat for a good ten seconds before they both then get back up and Dykstra has a right hand blocked by Sydal, who then sets Kenny up into a PUMP HANDLE POSITION. . . Kenny counters it though as he lifts Sydal over his shoulder. Sydal doesn’t land hard as he then gets back up, turns round and Kenny hits him with a ROLLING CUTTER. . . Kenny thinks it’s over and goes to hook the leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOOOO! . . . SYDAL’S FOOT IS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE. . . Dykstra sits up and smashes his hands against the mat. He gets up and kicks the bottom rope in frustration. He then lifts Sydal up to his feet slowly and whips him into the ropes, but as Sydal runs back, he dropkicks Kenny in the chest.


Dykstra drops to his knees but is back up after a couple of seconds as Sydal then grabs him around the chest and plants him with a CYCLORAMA (OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY MOONSAULT). . . IT’S ALL OVER. . . Sydal gets back up and decides against going for the pin as he walks to the corner and climbs to the top rope. Kenny shows signs of life as Sydal then leaps off the top rope for a 360 CORKSCREW MOONSAULT. . . But Kenny gets his knees up, and before Sydal hits the mat, Kenny sits up and grabs Sydal by the tights, pulling him back into a roll up and holds onto the tights as the ref counts 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . IT’S OVER. . . The ref didn’t see the tights being hooked and we’ve got a new Cruiserweight Champion!


AFTERMATH: “Superstar Fallin” hits as Kenny lets go of Sydal and rolls to the outside where he demands the title belt. The ref then slips outside the ring to collect it and passes it to Dykstra, then raises his arm. Sydal looks on as he sits up and holds his head in his hands as Dykstra just looks back with a grin on his face and raises the belt in the air to taunt him

WINNER: by pinfall, and new Cruiserweight Champion, Kenny Dykstra


JBL: He’s done it Michael, the future hall of famer is the new Cruiserweight Champion

Cole: Oh come on, look at how he won the match John and you tell me if he deserves to be champion

JBL: He won the match Michael, it’s as simple as that. You might not like it, Matt Sydal might not like it, but you have to lump it cos Kenny Dykstra is the sole survivor and the new Cruiserweight Champion



***CUT BACKSTAGE***



We see a very angry Mr. McMahon walking through the back and opening a door

***HEAT***

He walks in and Shane’s in there, sat down with William Regal but then stands up

Shane McMahon:
Dad, what are you doing here?

Vince McMahon: William, I’d appreciate it if you left me to talk with my son

Regal stands up

William Regal: Certainly Sir, which one?

***POP***

Shane & Vince both look round in shock, but Vince looks pissed, big time

Vince McMahon: GETTT OUTT!

Regal walks out of the door as Vince cools down, then turns to Shane

Vince McMahon: I’ve heard a rumour Shane that you’ve been talking to Stephanie tonight

Shane McMahon: Wow, someone’s obviously not got a lot to talk about

Vince McMahon: Well that’s the thing son, they do. . . See they also told me that my so called precious little girl told you all about her and Triple H’s plan to make me look like an idiot in front of the world

Shane McMahon: Well, I think whoever told you that needs to get out more

Vince McMahon: Shane, tell me the truth. . . do you know who my illegitimate child is?

Shane McMahon: Dad, you’re kind of putting me in a difficult position here, I promised Steph I wouldn’t. . .

Vince McMahon: . . . You promised Steph what son? . . . You promised you wouldn’t tell your own dad who your brother is. You wouldn’t tell your own dad, the same dad that gave you everything you’ve got today?

Shane rubs his hands across his face before answering

Shane McMahon: This is the whole point dad, you created all this. . . all of it. . . If you hadn’t let your pants down however many years ago and you hadn’t treated everyone you meet like they mean nothing to the world, you wouldn’t be in this situation

Vince McMahon: Now you listen to. . .

Shane: . . . No dad, you listen to me. . . Yeah I went to see Steph earlier on and I told her I was upset about her not telling me about who our brother is. . . And yeah, she told me who he is. But dad I’m not telling you. You can go and hire as many private investigators as you want, hell if you haven’t done already. . .

Vince McMahon: . . . You’re damn right I have. . .

Shane McMahon: . . . But it’s not going to change the fact I’m on Steph’s side with this one

Vince McMahon: You’re what?

Shane McMahon: You heard me right dad. You’ve got to learn to accept that Steph is not that little girl you spoilt twenty years ago. She’s a woman now, a married woman with a beautiful daughter. A daughter you don’t even want to see. . . You don’t want to see your own grandchild, and you wonder why I agree with Steph. . . You know what dad, I’m going to do what I can to try and help you come to senses. . . For all it’s worth, if you don’t want anything to do with your granddaughter, then I’m not going to let you anywhere near my kids. . .

***POP***

Vince McMahon: I beg your pardon

Shane McMahon: That’s right dad. Like mum put it, maybe tough love is the only way to get round this. And if that means you getting your ass kicked tonight to bring you to your senses, then it might just be what you need

Vince looks furious

Vince McMahon: Of all the people in the world I thought I could turn to Shane, you are that person. The one person I could tell anything to, but not anymore. . . Like I told Triple H on Monday night, I’d rather die than accept him or that child as my family. And if you and Steph are going to turn your backs on me, then fine. . . I don’t need either of you. . .

Vince steps back from Shane

Vince McMahon: But you know what Shane. . . when I find this son of mine, and I will. . . you should consider yourself no longer a McMahon

***HEAT***

Shane McMahon: If that’s the way you want it, fine

Vince grins sadistically at Shane before turning round and walking out of the door. As he leaves the room, Mr. Kennedy is in the hall talking to Regal and sees Vince

***POP***

Mr. Kennedy: Good to see you Sir

Vince looks at Kennedy for a couple of seconds before turning round and walking up the hall. Kennedy turns his neck and smiles as Vince walks off


***CUT TO THE ARENA***


*One by one, the superstars make their way down to the ring*

“Loaded” blasts out as Jeff Hardy is the last superstar to make his way down to the ring, getting a huge pop

JR: King, this could well be the most intriguing match of the night, because not only can Jeff Hardy lose the title without being pinned, he could lose it by surviving the match and one of his partners taking the final fall for the team

King: It’s matches like these JR that make the WWE as exciting as it is. Here we have six talented superstars with the Intercontinental title on the line, in an elimination match for the first time ever

JR: That’s right King, and it might not be for the last time



MATCH 5
Intercontinental Championship
Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match
Last Fall Wins the Title
Jeff Hardy (c), CM Punk & Cody Rhodes
vs Elijah Burke, Carlito & Santino Marella w/Maria


Neither one of the heel team seem to want to start the match as Cody Rhodes offers to start the match for the face team. After rock, paper, scissors, Santino Marella ends up starting off. As the ref calls for the bell, Cody walks into the middle of the ring, followed by Santino as they then throw rights at each other with Cody taking control and whipping Marella into the ropes. And as Marella comes back, Cody turns and lifts his elbow into Marella’s face, turns round, runs into the ropes, comes back and hits a RUNNING CROSS BODY. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Easy kick out for Santino as both men get back up to their feet and Cody scoops him up, then slams him right back down to the mat and follows up by dropping his elbow across the upper chest of Santino.


He then gets right back up, reaches down and pulls Santino back up, then whips him into the ropes, and as Santino comes back, Cody lifts him overhead with a back body drop. The crowd get right behind Cody as he takes control in the early stages. Santino rolls on to his knee and gets back up to his feet, but as he turns round, he walks into a perfectly executed standing dropkick from Rhodes, who then tries a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Kick out with relative ease from Santino as Cody then stands back up, walks to his corner and tags CM Punk, which draws a huge pop from the New Jersey fans who chant his name. Punk then walks along the ring apron as Marella slowly picks himself back up, and as Santino stands back up and turns round, Punk springboards off the top rope and hits a clothesline. . . AIR PUNK IN NEW JERSEY. . .


Punk decides not to go for a cover as he walks into the corner and waits for Marella to sit up. As he does sit back up, Punk runs at him, going for the SHINING WIZARD. . . Santino sees it and ducks his head as Punk then crashes down into the mat. Santino crawls to his corner and tags in Elijah Burke, who generates a decent amount of heat as he enters the ring. He walks right over to Punk and stomps the hell out of him. He then lifts Punk back up to his feet and attacks him with hard right hands to the skull before then whipping him into the ropes, and as Punk comes back, Burke drives his knee into his gut. Burke then turns back and runs into the ropes, comes back and hits a FLYING SHOULDER TACKLE. . .


He crawls back across the mat and goes for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Burke looks a little angry as he then stands back up, reaches down and lifts Punk back up to his feet. He then goes for a scoop slam but Punk is able to jump back down to the mat and is quick to grab Burke by the arm, then wrenches the arm into a STEP OVER MULE KICK. . . Big pop from the crowd as Punk then crawls back to his corner and tags a fired up Cody back in. As Cody steps back through the ropes, Burke stands back up, forcing Cody to run at him, which he does and clotheslines Burke back down to the mat. Burke is back up quickly and turns round into a standing dropkick from Rhodes, who then runs to the corner and climbs to the top rope.


The moment Burke is back on his feet, Cody leaps off and hits a DIVING CROSS BODY. . . 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SO CLOSE. . . Burke just kicked out of that one. Cody then gets back up and looks extremely confident and in control as he stalks Burke up for the DDT, but Carlito distracts him as he half steps through the ropes. The ref then walks over and Cody follows, but remains behind the referee as Burke picks himself back up. And as Carlito steps back through the ropes, the ref and Cody turn back round, but Cody turns round into the ELIJAH EXPERIENCE. . . Burke rushes to hook the leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . ONE MAN DOWN. . .


As Burke gets up and raises his arms in the air, Jeff Hardy steps through the ropes and runs at him, knocking him down with a clothesline. Burke gets right back up and runs into another clothesline from Jeff, but again Burke is back up as Jeff then feeds his leg into Burke’s grasp and then hits a SPINNING MULE KICK. . . The crowd start to really get behind Jeff as he then walks to the corner and climbs to the second rope where he lifts his arms in the air for his signature taunt before jumping down for a LEG DROP. . . but Burke rolls to the side and Jeff’s legs hit the mat. Burke then crawls across the canvas and makes the tag to Marella, who seems eager to finish off the defending champion.


He walks quickly towards him and kicks him hard across the chest before applying a TRIANGLE CHOKE. . . Marella clearly tries hard to make Jeff tap, pulling tightly as Jeff starts to fight it, using his feet to pull him closer to the ropes. Santino looks worried as Jeff gets closer and pulls tighter, seemingly working as Jeff starts to lose energy and is unable to pull himself any further to the ropes. But as the crowd start chanting his name, Jeff gives it everything he has and is able to pull himself to the bottom rope, resting his foot on the bottom rope. Santino is furious as he lets the hold go at the count of four and then pulls Jeff back across the ring and goes for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOT ENOUGH. . .


Jeff gets his shoulder up, just, to delight the crowd. Marella looks pissed as he then gets back up to his feet and then lifts Jeff up to his feet, setting him up for a JAWBREAKER. . . Santino starts to act cocky as he holds Jeff for too long, and it costs him as Jeff then escapes the hold and pushes Santino into the ropes, hitting him as he comes back with a SIT OUT JAWBREAKER. . . Big pop from the crowd as Jeff then hooks both legs 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOOO! . . . Carlito gets in and kicks Jeff in the head to stop the count. Carlito rushes back to the apron as Jeff then crawls across to his corner and makes the tag to Punk, again getting a strong pop.


He then enters the ring as Marella gets up and runs at the Italian, hitting him with a succession of stiff kicks to the chest and then a couple of knee strikes before whipping Marella into the ropes. And as Santino hits the ropes, Punk runs at him and hits him with a charging high knee, knocking him down to the mat. He then bends down to lift Santino up and whips him hard into the corner. With Marella in the corner, Punk then charges at him and drives his high knee into the side of Santino’s head, holding onto it as he then turns round, runs out of the corner and plants him with a BULLDOG. . . The crowd go nuts as Punk seems to have Santino in trouble.


Punk gets back up and stalks Marella for the GTS, but Burke then climbs through the ropes and charges across to Punk, but runs into a SUPER KICK. . . With Santino back on his feet and moving slowly, Punk then lifts him onto his shoulders for the GTS. . . The fans are going nuts, but Carlito then gets in the ring and walks over to Punk, but the straight edge superstar turns his body round, knocking Carlito down to the mat as Santino’s boot connects with the cool one’s face. Punk is able to hold on to Marella as he then plants him with the GTS. . . He drops down and hooks Marella’s leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . ALL SQUARE! . . .


As Burke rolled off the apron after the kick to the face, Carlito stands back up and is declared the legal man as Punk then goes for him, hitting him with some hard right hands and kicks to the mid section. As he gets Carlito on the back foot, he grabs his arm and whips him into the ropes, stomping him as he comes back and then plants him with a HAMMERLOCK LEG SWEEP DDT. . . Big pop from the crowd as Punk then follows up for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SHOULDER UP. . . Punk gets on with business as he stands back up and makes the short couple of steps to the corner where he then is quick to execute a SPLIT LEG MOONSAULT. . . Holding on too for the cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Again Carlito just kicks out.


Punk doesn’t waste any time as he gets back up to his feet and climbs through the ropes and lies in wait on the apron. As Carlito rolls towards the middle of the ring and gets back up, Punk springboards again for the AIR PUNK. . . but Carlito forward rolls underneath it, runs through off the ropes and then hits a SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW ON PUNK. . . GREAT COUNTER FROM CARLITO! . . . He then takes a leaf out of Punk’s book as he doesn’t waste anytime as he runs into the ropes and springboards again, this time into a MOONSAULT. . . As he lands, he covers Punk 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO! . . . Punk gets his shoulder up as Carlito sits up and shakes his head in sheer frustration. He is quick to stand up, looking like he’s boiled over as he reaches down to lift Punk up and tries to whip him into the ropes.


Punk reverses it however, but as Carlito comes back off the ropes, he back flips over Punk and drags him straight into a REVERSE DDT. . . Carlito reacts bullet like again as he hooks Punk’s legs 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Kick out again from Punk, and Carlito just gets more frustrated as he lifts Punk up, then stomps him hard in the gut twice and whips him hard into the corner. After taking a split second, he then runs in at Punk, but Punk pulls himself up the ropes and traps Carlito’s arms with his legs and then rolls forward into a sunset flip like pinning combination 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Carlito just kicks off enough, pushing his boot gently back in Punk’s face. It only takes several seconds before both men race back up to their feet as Carlito then throws a right, which is blocked by Punk, who then kicks him in the gut and whips him into the ropes, and as Carlito comes back, Punk hits him with a SPINNING HEEL KICK. . .

Another big pop for Punk as he then gets back up to his feet, walks over to his corner and tags Jeff, getting another big pop. Jeff races in the ring as he runs straight to the opposite corner and knocks Burke back down off the apron with a hard right hand. He then sees Carlito getting back up as he then races to the opposite corner, jumping to the top rope and hitting Carlito with the WHISPER IN THE WIND. . . The crowd is electric as Jeff then urges a slowly moving Carlito back up to his feet, and as soon as Carlito gets back up, Jeff pounces as he sets him up for a SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP. . . BUT HE ROLLS FORWARD INTO A DOUBLE LEG ROLL UP. . . THE COMPACTOR CLUTCH. . . The ref counts as Carlito tries to escape 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . SEE YOU LATER!


Burke pulls himself back up on the apron as he looks in angrily at Jeff, realising the situation he is in now. Jeff urges him back in as Carlito rolls off the apron and walks to the back. Burke then steps through the ropes and stands in the corner for a couple of seconds before then shaking his head and charging at Jeff, where the pair exchange some hard right hands, and it’s Burke who gets the initiative, landing three hard rights in a row. He then whips Jeff into the corner and then follows in for a hard clothesline. Burke looks vicious as he then grabs Jeff by the arm and whips him into the opposite corner, only this time he decides to lower his kneepads, setting Jeff up for the ELIJAH EXPRESS. . .


With the crowd booing strongly, Burke then charges across at Jeff and jumps for the knee smash, but Jeff sidesteps it. Burke’s knees crash into the pads as he drops to the mat, but as he then gets back up, Jeff is ready and waiting as he stomps him in the gut and then plants him with the TWIST OF FATE. . . IT’S GOT TO BE OVER. . . Jeff drops down and goes for the cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . FOOT ON THE ROPE. . . No one can believe it, but Punk was half way through the ropes before he saw Burke’s foot on the bottom rope. Jeff sits up, and this time it’s his turn to act frustrated as he then decides to get back up to his feet and drags Burke’s body away from the ropes as he then walks to the corner and climbs to the top rope.


The crowd all stand on their feet as he then leaps off for the SWANTON BOMB. . . BUT NO! . . . BURKE ROLLS TO THE SIDE. . . THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IT! . . . So close to game over as it takes both men a while to find themselves back up to their feet, and it’s Burke who strikes first as he stomps Jeff in the gut. He then tries for an irish whip, but it’s reversed by Jeff who then stomps Burke as he comes back and then plants him with a SIT OUT JAWBREAKER. . . Still feeling the effects, Jeff decides to crawl across to his corner and tag Punk, who again gets a great reception as he enters the fray. Punk runs across to Burke, drops to the mat and tries to take advantage by going for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOT ENOUGH! . . .
Punk then gets right back up and stalks Burke, getting ready for the GTS, with the crowd cheering him on.


As Burke slowly picks himself back up, Punk sets himself up and as Burke is back on his feet, Punk lifts him onto his shoulders for the GTS. . . but Burke slips down off the shoulders and explodes with the ELIJAH EXPERIENCE OUT OF NOWHERE. . . Burke feels the fatigue of the match as he is unable to take advantage for almost ten seconds before eventually reaching out an arm across Punk’s chest for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SHOULDER UP! . . . The crowd go crazy as Punk gets out of that one. Burke lifts his head up in shock and looks devastated. As Burke then stands back up, he runs across to Jeff’s corner, but Jeff blocks a right hand and hits Burke with a punch of his own. With Punk only getting back up to his knees, Burke has enough time to recover as he walks over and lifts Punk up to his feet, then whips him hard into Jeff’s corner.


As Punk hits the pads, Jeff taps Punk’s shoulder, which the ref sees and acknowledges as a tag, something Burke misses as he turns round. He then turns back as he charges at Punk, hitting the ELIJAH EXPRESS. . . Punk drops to the mat and rolls off the apron as Burke then turns round and walks out of the corner with a big smile on his face, but as he turns round, he’s in for a shock as Jeff is already in the ring and standing right behind him. Jeff then stomps him in the gut straight away and follows up with the TWIST OF FATE. . . He then runs back to the corner, climbs to the top rope and then hits the SWANTON BOMB. . . Huge pop as Jeff then hooks the leg of Burke for the cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . REF CALLS FOR THE BELL. . . IT’S OVER!

AFTERMATH: “Loaded” blasts out and Jeff gets back up to his feet and is passed his Intercontinental Championship by the referee. He raises it in the air as he climbs to the second rope to celebrate with the crowd. As he climbs down off the ropes, he turns round and CM Punk slides back in the ring. Jeff looks uncomfortably at Punk for several seconds before Punk then offers Jeff his hand. There’s a big pop from the crowd as Jeff then shakes it and the pair hug for a good five seconds. As they back off, Punk still has hold of Jeff’s hand and lifts him onto his shoulder, then absolutely nails him with the GTS. The crowd are stunned as Jeff’s music stops and Punk stares down at Jeff for a couple of seconds before looking up and glaring intensely into the crowd as “This Fire Burns” then hits. Punk reaches down and picks up the title belt, takes a good look at it and then drops it on Jeff’s chest before leaving the ring to a ton of heat

WINNER: by pinfall, and still Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy


JR: What in the hell did he do that for? There was absolutely no need to do that

King: Well I guess CM Punk thought there was JR

JR: I thought CM Punk was an honourable human being, but he’s shown us his true colours here tonight. . . I can’t believe that!



***CUT BACKSTAGE***



Randy Orton is walking down the hall, looking really smug

***HEAT***

He keeps on walking when he turns round into Batista stretching in the backstage area

***POP***

Randy Orton:
Big Dave Batista

Batista stands up straight and looks up to see Orton in front of him

Batista: If my eyes don’t deceive me, I believe that’s Randy Orton. . . It’s been a long time

Randy Orton: Yeah Dave it has, but not long enough for me to forget what you did

Batista: Still crying about that huh? Why aren’t I surprised?

Randy Orton: Why would I cry about that Dave? . . . The only thing that gets me about that is the simple fact I’ve not had the chance to repay you for stabbing me in the back. . . But everyone knows why you did that Dave. Everyone knows why you and Hunter turned on me. It’s because I outgrew the both you and Evolution at the same time. . .

***HEAT***

Randy Orton: I did what no one thought I could and became the youngest ever holder of that title of yours. . . But then again, that’s a sore point hey Dave. Because we all know that you’re not walking out with that title tonight are ya?

Batista: Is that so?

Randy Orton: Yeah Dave it is, it’s exactly so. . . See you might have those moron fans out there cheering you on throughout your match tonight, but you’ve not got the intensity and the ability that I do. The same ability and intensity that is going to help me on my way to beating Team HBK tonight. . .

***HEAT***

Batista: You know Randy, you’ve not changed. You’re still the same arrogant jerk you were three years ago

Randy Orton: A successful jerk is more appropriate if you don’t mind. . . I might be arrogant Dave, but there’s a reason for that. Look at me, I’m the WWE Champion, and in the last six months I’ve put Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam and John Cena on the shelf. . . What’ve you done Dave? Walk out to the ring, try to let a fart out and set off all that crap off behind to please those morons?

***HEAT***

Batista: The only moron around here Randy is you. . . You know that all those so called morons out there can’t wait to see Shawn Michaels and his team wipe the floor with Team Orton tonight. And when your team loses, don’t expect an easy ride Randy, because everyone will be after that title of yours

Orton smirks

Randy Orton: Well Dave, that’s real funny cos if anyone should be worried about their title tonight, it’s not me, it’s you. . . See know matter what happens tonight, I know I’m leaving here tonight as the WWE Champion. But you, you’re screwed. . . There’s no hope Dave, times run out, you’re out of luck. . . In fact I’d say your luck has run out, right about now

Batista stares a hole through Orton, but all of a sudden, he’s jumped from behind as we see him pushed back into some cargo boxes. The camera zooms out and we see The Miz and John Morrison stomping the hell out of Batista. After giving him a beating for around fifteen seconds, Edge walks up to Randy Orton who’s laughing at Batista on the floor. Edge shakes Orton’s hand with a smile on his face too

***HEAT***


Edge: Randy my friend, thank you very much

Randy Orton: You know what Edge. . . it’s always a pleasure to help an old friend

***HEAT***

Orton smiles and looks down at Batista, before tapping Edge on the shoulder and then walking through the back


***CUT TO THE ARENA***

• Triple H saying in an interview that there’s a big secret as to why Vince is treating him like this

• Later that night and after getting DQ’d, Vince getting a sledgehammer and about to hit Triple H until Stephanie McMahon ran down to ringside and pleaded with Vince not to do it. Steph telling him not to do it or she’ll tell everyone about the secret. Vince calling the bluff and Steph announcing that she and Triple H are married

• The week after and the intense promo that followed with Steph and Triple H saying that Vince has treated them like crap, but it’s not going to happen anymore. Linda and Shane coming out and saying that they were freezing Vince’s power and making the match for the Survivor Series

• Last week on Raw and Triple H saying to Steph he has something he needs to say if they’re going to be honest

• Triple H in the ring with Vince and Hornswoggle, telling him that Hornswoggle is not his son as he and Steph got to the mother and attorney first, persuading her not to reveal the secret. Triple H then offering Vince the chance to escape their match if and tell him who his son is if he agreed to accept him as his son-in-law and visit his granddaughter. Vince telling Triple H that he would never accept him as a McMahon, only for Triple H to pedigree him



“The Game” blasts out as Triple H walks out to a deafening pop and a standing ovation

King: Well JR, I guess this is it

JR: The time has most certainly come and I can’t see anything else but The Game tearing Mr. McMahon apart. . . After all he and Stephanie have been put through by Mr. McMahon, you can not blame Triple H for beating the holy hell out of him tonight. . . And if I know Triple H like I think I do, Mr. McMahon is in for what could be the last fight of his life, let alone the toughest


“No Chance in Hell” hits and a serious looking Mr. McMahon power walks his way down to ringside as Triple H stares right through him

King: Here he comes though JR, Mr. McMahon himself

JR: So I see King, but I don’t see how he can overcome the odds and defeat Triple H tonight

King: JR, you forget you’re talking about a former WWE Champion. Mr. McMahon has beaten the superstars like The Undertaker and Stonecold Steve Austin, as well as winning the Royal Rumble too. . . You can never underestimate Mr. McMahon

JR: As true as that is King, he never won any of matches fairly and he won’t do tonight. . . I just have a feeling that he is finally going to get what is coming to him tonight



MATCH 6
Streetfight
Triple H vs Mr. McMahon


Vince backs off from Triple H as The Game gets into the ring, looking as focused as he ever has been. As he walks slowly across to Vince, the chairman decides to slip under the bottom rope to the outside. Trips sort of smirks as Vince stands still on the outside, but then The Game shocks him as he runs to the ropes and slides to the outside, chasing Vince around the ring. Vince runs past two sides of the ring and slides back in the ring, followed by Triple H. Vince then stops and stomps across Triple H’s back as he gets back in. Triple H fights it and gets right back up, causing Vince to panic. As HHH gets back up to his feet, Vince then turns round and tries to run again, but HHH grabs his shirt and pulls him back. He then kicks him on the ass, knocking Vince to his knees. HHH then reaches down to pull him up, spins him round and unleashes some hard right hands to the face of the owner, forcing him back towards the ropes and against them.


The Game then takes a step back before walking forward and clotheslining Vince over the top to the outside, getting the crowd going as they cheer loudly for Triple H. The Game then climbs through the ropes and jumps off the apron to the arena floor. He looks into the crowd, provoking a big pop as he then turns his attention to Vince, pulling him up as he got up to his knees. Trips then scoop slams him back down to the padded floor. Vince screams out in pain and holds his back before HHH pulls him right back up to his feet and whips him into the barricade. Vince remains on his feet, but just as he slouches against the barricade. But HHH isn’t done as he walks over to him and starts smashing him with right hands to the forehead, landing close to ten before Vince drops to the floor, sliding down the barricade. The Kings of Kings is far from done as he then chokes Vince by putting his boot against Vince’s throat.


Vince can be seen to be struggling and trying his most to push Trips’ boot off. The Game lets go, but Vince is still conscious. HHH pulls Vince back up to his feet and whips him hard into the ring apron, with Vince landing shoulder first against it. The crowd go crazy and continue to shout out “Triple H” as The Game stops to take a look at Vince before turning his neck to see Lilian Garcia away to the side of him. He stops and stares at her and the timekeepers table for several seconds before walking across and collecting a steel chair, which brings out a huge cheer from the New Jersey crowd. Trips walks back over to Vince as the struggling chairman kneels against the apron with his head just at the same level as the bottom rope. Trips then sizes Vince up, raises the chair above his head and brings it CRASHING DOWN. . .


Vince is just able to pull his head back in time and scurries back into the ring, generating a lot of boos from the crowd. Triple H isn’t prepared to wait though as he drops the chair and slides back into the ring. Vince crawls up to his knees as his son-in-law walks over to him slowly. HHH reaches down to lift him back up, but Vince throws a right hand into his gut. Vince then pulls himself up using Triple H’s legs and rakes him in the eyes. Again the crowd boo the hell out of Vince, but he then follows up by taking a couple of steps backwards, then forward again, knocking The Game down with a clothesline. Vince looks out of breath and takes a couple of seconds, but by that time, Triple H starts to get back up to his knees. Vince sees the danger and quickly kicks out at the side of The Game’s head, knocking him right back down. Vince steps over into the corner and exposes the top turnbuckle, removing the pad completely and tossing it to the outside.


Mike Chioda looks on, but he can’t do anything about it. Vince then turns round and sees Triple H stirring again, pulling himself back up to his knees. Vince walks across to The Game and looks down at him, talks smack at him and urges him to get up. Vince then throws a right hand at him, but The Game blocks it and then stands back up to his feet and unloads on Vince, hitting him square in the head with three hard right hands. Vince is knocked off balance and Triple H then grabs him by the neck, turns him round so they’re back to back and plants him with a NECKBREAKER. . . He then runs back into the ropes, back and drops a single knee down across the upper body of Mr. McMahon. It’s met with cheers again from the crowd. The Game stands back up, pulls his arm back and then leans back, throwing his arms back and into the air above his head, getting a huge pop from the crowd. Vince then starts to move and crawls towards the exposed turnbuckle.


HHH walks ever so slowly behind him though, with Vince not knowing. As Vince pulls himself back up using the ropes, HHH is right behind him, and as Vince then turns round, Triple H smashes him with a right hand. HHH then tries to follow up by setting him up for a DDT, but Vince holds onto the top rope as HHH falls back to the mat. Vince then stomps The Game away from the corner and into the centre of the ring. Vince then crouches down to try and lift HHH back up, which takes him a couple of seconds. He then goes for an irish whip towards the corner with the exposed turnbuckle, but The Game simply overpowers him and whips him instead. Just as Vince is about to hit the exposed steel, he is able to stop himself by reaching out and grabbing the top rope with both hands. He turns round and smiles smugly at Triple H, who then charges right at him, but Vince sidesteps it as Triple H RUNS RIGHT INTO THE EXPOSED STEEL. . .


The Game hits it chest first and drops backwards to the mat as Vince grins sadistically before taking action. He climbs through the ropes to the outside and walks across the apron to the steel steps, right behind the corner Triple H just collided with. He stands on the steps as he then reaches inside the ring and drags Triple H’s legs under the bottom rope. The fans cry out for Triple H to escape, but Vince then uses all his power to pull The Game by his legs, PULLING HIS GROIN INTO THE RINGPOST AT FORCE. . . The pain is evident on Triple H’s face, and the same goes for Vince’s delight, but he doesn’t stop there. He steps down off the steps and then reaches inside. He pulls Triple H by the shoulder, leaving his body across the apron and under the bottom rope. Vince steps on some wires that stick out from under the ring, his eyes light up in a big way. He then reaches down and picks them up, and then pulls the cable to get enough free wire as he then WRAPS THE CABLE AROUND TRIPLE H’S NECK. . . HE’S CHOKING THE GAME. . .


The crowd don’t know what to make of it as they sit in shock while Vince pulls the cable hard, trying to choke his son-in-law. Vince is crazy, he keeps hold for well over ten seconds, resulting in Triple H spitting blood. This even shocks Vince as Mike Chioda tells him to stop, which he does as Chioda checks on The Game, holding him on the apron. Trips is still conscious but doesn’t look so good as he spits more blood. Vince backs up and after the initial shock, smiles widely. Chioda then lets go of HHH’s arm and HHH seems to lose consciousness as he drops off the apron to the arena floor, causing Vince to smile even more. However, The King of Kings starts to move around on the floor, he must have just lost all energy as he dropped off the apron. Vince then reacts as HHH crawls to the steps to try and help himself up, but he still looks completely dazed.


As HHH gets to his knees with his head facing the steps, Vince walks across, grabs Trips by the head and then smashes it against the steps, and then again for added effect. The crowd are in shock as they see Vince completely take control of The Game. Vince then raises his arms in the air to a ton of heat as Triple H drops to the floor. As Vince brings his arms down, he turns to see the Raw announce table, and he smiles. He then walks over to the Raw announce table and strips it down, taking one monitor out of its position and holding onto it. The boss looks completely crazy as he turns round with the monitor in hand as he then urges the squirming Triple H up to his feet. The Game ever so slowly pulls himself up by the steps, looking out of it and unsteady as he finally gets back up to his feet.


As he’s about to turn round, the crowd try to warn him, but it doesn’t matter as Vince pounces straight away by SMASHING THE MONITOR RIGHT INTO THE SKULL OF THE GAME. . . LIGHTS OUT. . . Triple H is busted open as he just falls flat to the floor again. Vince looks down and very seriously at The Game, no laughing or smiling. BLOOD IS OOZING FROM THE GAME’S HEAD. . . Vince looks down at him before trying to pull him up to his feet, but it’s like dead weight. He drags him by the arms to the apron and is slowly able to lift him up against the apron and then lifts the legs onto the apron as he is then able to push an out cold Triple H back into the ring. The crowd are completely silent, in total shock as Vince then cockily walks back up the steps and into the ring. He takes his time before he walks over to Triple H and pulls him away from the apron towards the centre of the ring. Vince then puts his foot across HHH’s chest for a cocky pin attempt.


Chioda counts as the crowd cry out in desperation 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO!!!!!!!!! . . . TRIPLE H JUST GOT HIS SHOULDER UP. . . VINCE CAN’T BELIEVE IT. . . The crowd erupts with cheers as Vince looks absolutely shocked. He gets right in Chioda’s face to tell him what he thinks about the count, but to no avail. Vince then stands over Triple H, and the blood soaked Triple H looks desperate as he tries to crawl up to his feet by using Vince’s legs. Vince allows him to get to his knees before pulling HHH’s head under his legs and setting him up for a PEDIGREE. . . Vince looks to the crowd, thinking he has it wrapped up, but all of a sudden, Triple H comes to life, and using all the energy left in his body, he is able to BACK BODY DROP VINCE. . . The crowd go nuts again as Vince hits the mat, but Triple H drops flat too. The two men remain on the mat for around ten seconds while the crowd chant for Triple H.


It’s Vince who’s up first as Triple H remains flat out on the mat. Vince looks livid after he thought he had the match won. He looks to the outside and climbs through the ropes, then walks over to the timekeepers table and grabs the ring bell. He slides back in the ring with the bell in hand, which gets a lot of boos from the fans. He again stands over Triple H, who slowly starts to pull himself up Vince’s legs, but this time Vince has a ring bell in his hands and raises it above his head. The desperation can be smelt from the crowd as HHH gets further up Vince’s legs. VINCE THEN SNAPS AND BRINGS THE RING BELL CRASHING DOWN. . . BUT NO! . . . HHH LOW BLOWS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. . . Vince drops the ring bell on the mat as he then joins it as he drops down. Again the crowd cheer like crazy with both men laid out. After close to fifteen seconds, both men show signs of moving, and again it’s Vince who is up first.

He stands up in front of Triple H who ever so slowly gets to his knees, and as Vince tries to pull The Game up, Triple H reacts and plants Vince with a DOUBLE A SPINEBUSTER. . . Massive pop again from the crowd. HHH still feeling the effects, drops back to his knees as blood continues to pour from his head. Vince starts to squirm around on the mat as Triple H then turns to the side, breathing heavy but sees the ring bell. He stops and looks down at it before reaching out with one arm to drag it towards him. Vince starts to sit up and Triple H sees the time is now and slowly picks himself up to his feet, armed with the ring bell. It’s Triple H’s turn to stand above a fallen body this time as he then raises the bell above Vince’s head and SMASHES IT DOWN ACROSS THE SKULL. . . Vince just fell flat to the mat. Huge pop from the crowd as Triple H stands tall.


He then lets go of the ring bell and sees blood pouring out of Vince’s skull and onto the mat. Triple H then enjoys the moment as he takes a couple of seconds to recover too. He then sees Vince move ever so slightly on the mat and walks over to him. He then reaches down and drags his fierce rival up to his feet, but Vince looking dazed now, gives Triple H the middle finger, Austin style. HHH then stomps Vince in the gut and sets him up for the dreaded finisher. Trips looks into the crowd for a second before SENDING VINCE CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A PEDIGREE. . . IT’S ALL OVER BAR THE COUNTING. . . Massive pop for Triple H as he moves across the mat and hooks Vince’s leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . TRIPLE H LETS THE COVER GO. . . The crowd are shocked, but as Triple H stands up and shakes his head to say he’s not done. He walks to the ropes, climbs through and reaches under the ring to pull out a SLEDGEHAMMER. . . The crowd cheer like crazy as HHH lifts it into the air and then slides back in the ring. Vince is barely moving, but as Triple H walks over to him, he starts to sit up.


The Game then takes aim as he waits for Vince to get up, and as Vince gets to his knees, Trips raises THE SLEDGEHAMMER ABOVE HIS HEAD. . . As he brings it down, VINCE LOW BLOWS THE GAME. . . Trips drops the weapon and the crowd’s disappointment is evident. Vince, still on his knees, sees the sledgehammer and picks it up. Triple H starts to sit up as Vince uses all the energy he has left to stand back up with the weapon in hand. Triple H is able to get back to his feet, but as he turns round, VINCE SWINGS THE SLEDGEHAMMER AT HHH. . . BUT TRIPLE H GRABS VINCE’S ARM BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT. . . Triple H wrestles away the sledgehammer and instantly SMASHES IT INTO THE FACE OF MCMAHON. . . Vince falls down towards Triple H, but before he can hit the mat, Triple H drops the hammer, catches Vince’s head and stomps him in the gut and BOOM. . . PEDIGREE TIME. . . Huge pop from the crowd as Triple H then shifts across the mat and hooks Vince’s leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . THAT’S IT. . . ALL OVER!


AFTERMATH: “The Game” blasts out & Triple H slowly gets back to his feet. Chioda raises his arm and Triple H then walks over to the corner to pose for the delighted crowd. As he steps down off the ropes, Stephanie walks down the aisle. Triple H turns round and sees her as she steps through the ropes. They walk over to each other and give each other a big hug as EMT’s then make their way down to the ring to check on Vince. Triple H takes a short look at Vince as Stephanie turns round to look while the EMT’s take care of him. She looks for a little longer, clearly very emotional as Trips then holds her hand. They then leave the ring as the EMT’s continue to check on Vince

WINNER: Triple H by pinfall


King: It looks like your feeling was right JR

JR: And no one can say he didn’t deserve it King. Maybe Triple H and Stephanie can get back to some kind of normality from now in



***CUT BACKSTAGE***



Josh Matthews is standing by

Josh Matthews: Please welcome my guest at this time. . . the heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels

***HUGE POP***

Michaels walks into the shot, looking very intense


Josh Matthews: Shawn, a lot of people have been very concerned about your condition after what happened to you at the hands of Randy Orton on Friday night. . . Let’s take a look. . .

***VIDEO RECAP***
Footage from Smackdown on Friday night when Randy Orton snuck into the ring and hit Michaels with the running punt and then got his team to left Michaels up so he could RKO him

Josh Matthews:
Shawn, watching that back, how does it make you feel about your match against Team Orton tonight?

Shawn Michaels: First of all Josh, before you ask your next question, I am not at a hundred percent tonight. . . I mean, how could I be after what Randy Orton did just two nights back. . . But Randy, it might be the dumbest thing you ever did, and we all know that’s saying something. . . Then again Randy, it was clever at the same time because you showed that you actually are intelligent, but a coward too at the same time. . .

***POP***

Shawn Michaels: Instead of doing it the old fashioned way right in the middle of the ring, man to man, you have to go and jump people when they least expect it. . . So to answer your question Josh, yeah I’m banged up, but I’m also the show stopper, the icon, the main event, the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels. And tonight I’m coming out to play. . .

***POP***

Shawn Michaels: See what you did Friday night Randy, could be clever, it could be smart. But I’ll tell you what it has done. . . It’s made me even more fired up, and that’s one thing you really didn’t want to do. . . I’ve bitten off more than you could possibly chew my entire career Randy. I’ve entered the Royal Rumble at number one and won the whole damn match. . . the first person to do so might I add. . . I was the first person to win the Royal Rumble back to back. I was the first person to be the grand slam champion in the WWE, the first person to win inside hell in a cell and the first person to win inside an elimination chamber. . .

***POP***

Shawn Michaels: So Randy, when you’re all ready to bring that team of yours down to that ring tonight. . . remember this. . .

Michaels backs up and then super kicks Josh Matthews to a massive pop coming from inside the arena. He then looks direct into the camera

Shawn Michaels: Orton, you talk about destiny. . . well that’s yours right there for ya kid

Another pop comes from the arena as Michaels turns round and walks out of the shot

MATCH 7
World Heavyweight Championship
Batista (c) vs Umaga w/Armando Estrada vs Edge


Batista storms into the ring, dropping his belt on the outside. With Umaga standing on the outside with Estrada, Edge charges at Batista straight away as the two pummel each other with hard right hands, but it’s Batista who gets the initiative. He blocks a right from Edge, then lands three in a row, knocking Edge off balance. The Animal then scoops Edge up onto his shoulder, but Edge slides right down the back, then he drives his knee hard into the back of Batista, pulls Batista’s head back under his arm and plants him with a REVERSE DDT. . .

Edge stresses to himself as he tries to get the match finished early, but he doesn’t have much time as Umaga lifts himself up to his feet, as Edge then gets up too. He throws a right at Umaga, but Umaga blocks it and explodes by chopping him in the chest twice, grabbing him by the arm and whipping him into the ropes. As Edge comes back, Batista starts to sit up and pull himself up, and as Edge approaches his opponent, Umaga connects with a ROLLING WHEEL KICK. . . He caught him right on the jaw, knocking Edge down to the mat. Umaga stands back up and stares down at Edge, but Batista is back up and walks over to Umaga from behind. Umaga reacts through and explodes with a couple of uppercut thrusts to The Animal, knocking Batista back a couple of paces.


As he walks back into Umaga, The Samoan Bulldozer is quick to grab him around the chest and tosses him behind with a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. . . Umaga looks dominant already in the early going. He gets back up to his feet and then drops a leg across the neck of Batista. Edge pulls himself back up to his feet as Umaga starts to sit up following the leg drop. Edge walks over to Umaga, but Umaga sees him coming and chops him across the chest, then whips him into the ropes, but as Edge comes back, Umaga is knocked off his feet as Edge hits him with a SPINNING HEEL KICK. . . Mixed reaction from the crowd as Edge gets right back up and smiles at taking the monster off his feet. However, Umaga is hardly down for more than a couple of seconds as he starts to pull himself back up.


Edge though sees the danger, and as Umaga is almost back up, Edge runs behind him and into the ropes, comes back and takes the monster down with a bulldog, landing next to the apron. Edge gets right back up to his feet, running back into the ropes and then hitting a BASEBALL SLIDE. . . Umaga is knocked right out of the ring. Edge is back up on his feet quickly, and looks into the crowd smiling as he holds onto the top rope, looking down at Umaga. The crowd starts to cheer as they see Batista standing up and moving towards Edge. Edge laughs, totally unaware of Batista’s movements. Edge then clicks on to it as he turns round to see Batista right in his face, but is powerless as Batista whips him into the corner and follows in right behind him.


But before Edge reaches the corner, he leapfrogs back over Batista as The Animal is unable to stop running and then, Edge reaches forward to grab Batista’s head and pulls him back for a HALF NELSON BULLDOG. . . Edge reaches forwards to pull Batista’s legs up as he tries for the cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Batista is able to kick out in time, but Edge gets right back up and drags him away from the corner.

BUT BATISTA CATCHES HIM. . . The Animal then tosses him back with a FALL AWAY SLAM. . . Big pop from the crowd as Edge crashes to the mat. Umaga slips back in the ring as Batista picks himself back up. Batista is totally unaware as he gets back up and turns round, where Umaga lets rip with a SAVOTE KICK to the face. Batista drops like a plank down to the mat as once again, Umaga takes charge.


He then drags Batista by one arm to the corner, where he sets the champion up in a TREE OF WOE position. He then walks back to the centre of the ring, before turning round and running at Batista, hitting him with a RUNNING HEADBUTT DROP. . . Batista’s body drops from the ropes down to the mat as Umaga stands right back up, looking down at the hurt champion. He then pulls Batista back away from the corner and into the middle of the ring, before walking back himself and climbing to the second rope. As he made his way up there, Edge got back up to his feet and before Umaga could get settled, Edge made his way across the ring. As he gets to the corner, Edge throws a right fist at Umaga’s chest and climbs up to the second rope too as Umaga sits on the top turnbuckle pads.


For some reason Edge tries to set Umaga up for a superplex, but Umaga fights it, and with relative ease, he pushes Edge down to the mat, landing barely over a foot from the corner. Umaga then looks at Estrada who smiles back at him as the monster then jumps off the top, connecting with a SAMOAN SPLASH. . . Edge looks out of it! . . . Umaga, already on top of Edge, doesn’t bother to hook the leg as Micky Henson makes the count 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Batista is just able to break the count up, jumping across from his knees to hit an axe handle on Umaga’s back. Batista slowly picks himself back up to his feet, and by the time he gets back up, so is Umaga and the pair swap right hands in the middle of the ring, with Batista landing three consecutive hard punches. With Umaga on the back foot, Batista tries to seize control as he whips Umaga towards the corner, but Umaga reverses it and Batista is tossed hard into the corner pads.


Umaga takes a second before running at him and going for a SPLASH. . . CONNECTS! . . . Batista gets squashed and slowly drops down into a sitting position against the pads. Umaga gets crazed look in his eyes as he then decided to walk over to the opposite side of the ring. After taking a couple of seconds, The Samoan Bulldozer charges off across the ring towards Batista at speed, and as he gets to the corner, he turns round for the SAMOAN WRECKING BALL. . . NO. . . BATISTA MOVES. . . The animal was able to pull himself out of the corner at the last second as Umaga’s back crashed into the pads. Batista picks himself up quite quickly, using the ropes to help him before running into the ropes, and as Umaga staggers out of the corner, Batista catches him with a DIVING SHOULDER TACKLE. . . Huge pop from the sell-out crowd as Batista gets back into the match.


He then grabs Umaga’s arm and whips him into the opposite corner, and this time he runs in at him, connecting with a clothesline across the shoulders. The Animal then follows up, driving his shoulder repeatedly into the chest of Umaga. He then takes a step out of the corner, seeing Edge start to lift his head up off the mat. Distracted for just a couple of seconds, Batista then turns his attention back to Umaga, but the samoan hits him with an uppercut thrust, taking The Animal by surprise. He follows up with a couple of hard chops to the face before knocking him down with a very stiff SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE. . . Umaga stands tall in the ring, and starts shouting hysterically in samoan before turning his attention back to Batista, but in the corner of his eye, he sees Edge getting back to his knees. He walks over to him, lifts him up to his feet and chops him across the chest.


He then whips him into the ropes, but as Edge runs back, he ducks underneath Umaga’s outstretched arm and runs through off the ropes. And as he comes back the second time, Umaga sharply lifts Edge onto his shoulders and plants him with an enormous SAMOAN DROP. . . MY GOD, EDGE JUST CRASHED AND BURNED! . . . Umaga remains seated on the mat for a good five seconds with a sick smile on his face, but Batista is getting back up to his feet towards the corner. Umaga then picks himself back up with his back to Batista, unaware that The Animal is now back up and ready to attack. Umaga then turns round, but Batista has already set off, charging at him and plants him with a SPEAR. . . IT’S GOT TO BE OVER. . . Batista quickly turns himself over on the mat to try and get the cover to win the match as Henson counts it 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO WAY! . . . UMAGA KICKED OUT. . .


The crowd are shocked as Batista sits up and tries to take in the shock, looking stunned Umaga kicked out while Estrada looks in from the outside, smiling and shouting out. Batista then picks himself right back up and sees Edge ever so slowly getting back up to his knees. Batista then retreats to the opposite corner to Edge and stalks his prey. Edge holds onto the ropes as he gets steady on his feet, Batista charge at him looking for the SPEAR. . . but as Batista gets close to the corner and Edge turns round, Edge sidesteps at the last minute and Batista runs right into the pads. Edge then runs into the ropes, runs back as Batista staggers out of the corner and hits Batista with a SPEAR. . . Batista drops to the mat as Edge looks to take advantage straight away by going for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NO, FOOT ON THE ROPE! . . . Henson stops the count and Edge looks up in shock. He sees Batista’s foot on the rope and he snaps.


He pulls the foot off the rope and hooks both legs this time for another pin attempt 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT. . . EDGE IS LIVID! . . . Edge looks up at Henson as the ref gets back up and tells Edge it was only two. Edge then stands up to continue the argument, but as he carries on yelling at Henson, Umaga rolls onto his side and up to his feet, right behind Edge. Henson’s eyes give it away as Edge then turns round, but Umaga grabs him around the throat and gets ready to hit him with the SAMOAN SPIKE. . . Edge sees what’s coming and panics, reaching to the side and grabbing hold of Henson’s left arm. He then pushes Henson down to the mat, momentarily taking Henson’s eyes off the action, resulting in Edge taking a swipe at Umaga’s groin. The impact forces Umaga to let go of Edge as he then drops to his knees as Edge then backs up into the ropes and then hits Umaga with a boot to the head, knocking him back to the mat.


Edge then stomps all over Umaga, pushing his body towards the apron. Edge then turns his attention back to Batista, pulling him up from his knees and whipping him towards the ropes, but Batista reverses it, and as Edge comes back, Batista plants him with a SPINEBUSTER. . . Massive pop rings out as Batista picks himself back up to his feet, still showing the effects of the spear. He then lifts his thumbs up in the air and brings them down, signalling for the end as he then lifts Edge up and places his head between his legs. Just as Batista is about to lift Edge up, Umaga gets back up slowly, which The Animal sees. He lets go of Edge and walks out to meet Umaga and is able to nail him with a SPINEBUSTER. . . The impact takes Umaga across the apron and then rolls to the outside as Estrada then checks on him. As Batista turns round to back over to Edge, the ultimate opportunist strikes, stomping Batista in the gut and then plants him with the EDGECUTION. . .


The crowd are in shock as Edge looks to take advantage again as he tries for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT! . . . Edge can’t believe it, but gets right back up to his feet and walks into the corner. He jumps up and down, stomping his feet as he urges Batista to get back up, which he does, but slowly. The moment Batista gets back up fully to his feet, Edge charges out of the corner towards Batista, but The Animal turns round in time and stomps Edge in the gut. He then places Edge between his legs, then raises him above his head and brings him crashing down to the mat for the BATISTA BOMB. . . Cheers ring out as Batista then moves across to the mat and covers Edge 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3. . . . OH MY GOD, IT’S OVER!


AFTERMATH: “I Walk Alone” blasts out at as the crowd give Batista a standing ovation. Henson passes him his belt and raises his arm. Batista then walks to the corner and poses with his belt as the crowd cheer and applaud his effort. Umaga and Estrada look on from the outside with frustration as Batista celebrates

WINNER: by pinfall, and still World Heavyweight Champion, Batista


Cole: Oh my god, what an effort from Batista

JBL: Michael, I have to agree. . . As much as I dislike Batista, he gave it his all tonight

Cole: He certainly did, and he will be leaving New Jersey tonight with the World Heavyweight Championship

MAIN EVENT
Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match
Team HBK (Shawn Michaels, Matt Hardy, The Undertaker & Chris Jericho)
vs Team Orton (Randy Orton, Finlay, Mr. Kennedy & MVP)


Michaels volunteers to start the match and he looks directly at Orton and then gestures to him that he wants him. Orton doesn’t look worried and just glares back at Michaels for several seconds before MVP stands next to Orton and tells him he’ll start the match off. Orton shakes his head at MVP and tells him Shawn is his. The remaining superstars all leave the ring and stand on the apron as Michael and Orton walk into the centre of the ring. Michaels doesn’t waste any time as he explodes with right hands to Orton, knocking Orton back every step of the way, forcing him back into the ropes where he then hits Orton with a couple of hard forearm shots. He then whips Orton into the ropes, then runs at him for the LOU THESZ PRESS. . . Michaels continues to pummel with hard right hands as the crowd cheer him on.


Michaels lets go after five right hands and stands right back up as he then reaches down to pull Orton up from his knees, only to knock him right back down again with a right hand. Orton gets back up almost straight away, only for Michaels to nail him with another right hand. Orton again drops to the mat, but this time as he gets up, Michaels whips him into the ropes, and as Orton runs back, Michaels lifts him overhead with a BACK BODY DROP. . . Getting another pop from the crowd. Orton slowly picks himself up, and as he gets up fully, Michaels approaches and chops him hard against the chest twice, forcing into the ropes again. Only this time, Michaels takes a step back before then clotheslining Orton over the top to get another cheer from the crowd. Michaels is control at the early stage!


As Orton shows signs of getting back up, Michaels walks over to the ropes and holds onto the top rope, and as Orton gets back up, Michaels lifts himself over the rope to the outside for a SLINGSHOT CROSS BODY. . . Another pop from the crowd as both men land on the arena floor. Michaels gets back up after remaining on the floor for a couple of seconds. He reaches down to pull Orton back up to his feet and tosses him back in the ring. Orton then starts to stand back up as Michaels climbs onto the apron and to the top rope, and as Orton turns round, Michaels jumps off and hits him with a DOUBLE AXE HANDLE. . . Orton falls back to the mat as Michaels then looks to take advantage as he moves to Orton’s feet, lifts his legs up and tries to apply the FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK. . . Orton fights it and is able to push Michaels back by kicking his legs into the upper chest of HBK.


Michaels is pushed back into the ropes, but holds onto the top rope as Orton pulls himself back up to his feet, and then Michaels strikes, running at Orton and planting him with a SWINGING NECKBREAKER. . . Michaels then is quick to cover Orton 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Easy kick out for the WWE Champion as Michaels then gets back up to his feet, walks over to his corner and tags in Jericho, getting a big pop. He walks over to Orton and helps him up from his knees, then goes for a chop across the chest, but Orton beats him to the punch as he rakes Jericho in the eyes and then spins him round into an OVERDRIVE. . . Orton decides not to go for a cover and instead stands back up, walks over to his corner and makes the tag to Finlay. Finlay enters the ring, walks over to Jericho and proceeds to stomp all over his chest before pulling him up to his feet and hitting him with a European uppercut.


Jericho is knocked back as Finlay then knocks him down to the mat with a short arm clothesline. Finlay thinks about going for a pin, but as he sees Jericho getting back up to his knees, he then takes a couple of steps back before then running back the short distance and driving his boot into the face of Y2J. This time Finlay does decide to go for a cover, hooking Jericho’s leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Jericho is able to get his shoulder up, but looks very groggy as he sits up. Finlay then stands back up to his feet, reaches down and pulls Jericho up to his feet before scooping him up, but Jericho is quick to slip down. But still looking groggy, Jericho is slow to react as Finlay then chops him across the chest twice and pulls Jericho into an ARM BREAKER DDT. . . Finlay rushes down to try and get a pin this time as Jack Doan counts the fall 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . .


Jericho kicks out as Finlay gazes intensely at Doan, who lifts two fingers at him to indicate the count. Jericho then starts to sit up, but Finlay is quick to pounce as he knees Jericho hard in the back before lifting him up to his feet and then onto his shoulders for a fireman’s carry. As Finlay steps back, Jericho is able to escape; rolling down Finlay’s back but holding onto his leg and rolling him up 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Kick out from Finlay. The crowd cheer Jericho as he and Finlay both return to their feet, but as Finlay turns round to face Jericho, he gets kicked in the face with an ENZIGURI. . . HUGE POP FROM THE SELL OUT CROWD. . . Jericho still feels the effects of Finlay’s assault and remains on the mat, but crawls to his corner where he tags in The Undertaker. . . MASSIVE POP. . .


Taker enters the ring as Finlay starts to sit up and pull himself up to his knees. Taker walks over, lifts Finlay up from his knees and applies a wrist lock, then hitting him with a couple of shoulder thrusts. Taker holds onto the arm as he then whips the fighting Irishman into the ropes, and as Finlay comes back, Taker hits him with a snap uppercut, knocking Finlay down to the mat. As Finlay starts to get back up, he helps himself by using the ropes, but the moment he stands back up, Taker runs over and clotheslines Finlay over the top rope. However, Finlay holds onto the top rope as he falls, landing on the apron. Taker though sees it as a good thing as he walks over to the corner next to Finlay and climbs through the ropes. He then makes his way along the apron and drops his leg across Finlay’s head as it lies against the apron. . . BIG POP. . . Finlay holds his head as he rolls back inside the ring as Taker gets back up and climbs back inside, staring intensely at Team Orton the entire time. Orton, Kennedy and MVP just look blank as Finlay looks in trouble.


Once back in the ring, Taker walks over to Finlay, lifts him up to his feet, grabs by the arm and whips him into the corner. He follows in hard, nailing him with a clothesline, but then whips him back into the opposite corner and again running in with a big clothesline. As Finlay this time staggers out of the corner, Taker runs back into the ropes, comes back and smashes Finlay in the head with a BIG BOOT. . . The crowd go crazy as Taker then raises his right hand in the air, seemingly signalling for the chokeslam. He turns his head to Orton’s corner and stares right them as Kennedy is about to step through the ropes, but then steps back on the apron seeing Taker’s evil stare. Finlay starts to stand up as Taker then turns his attention back to him, and as Finlay turns round, Taker wraps his hand around Finlay’s throat and CHOKE SLAM’S HIM DOWN TO THE MAT. . . HUGE POP. . . Taker drops to the mat and covers Finlay, staring at Orton’s corner as Doan counts 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . .


Taker stands back up to his feet, not taking his eyes off of Team Orton, who all look reluctant to enter the ring and after a second, Orton and Kennedy jump down off the apron. MVP looks down and is a little frustrated, talking back at them both. After a good ten seconds, MVP reluctantly enters the ring, looking down and shaking his head at his team mates. Taker turns his head to see Finlay leaving the ring, giving MVP the chance he needed as he runs over to The Undertaker and hits him with a right hand to the side of the face. Taker just snaps his head back round to MVP and knocks him down with a right hand. MVP is quick to get back up to his feet, but is whipped into the ropes by Taker, and as he comes back, The Undertaker plants him with a SIDEWALK SLAM. . . Another decent pop for the Deadman! Taker then reaches down and pulls MVP up to his feet, then he scoops him up onto his shoulder.


He turns round, starts to run slowly over to the corner and drops MVP face first onto the corner pad for a little SNAKE EYES. . . As MVP staggers out of the corner and turns round, Taker is already charging at him having already turned back and into the ropes. Once Taker gets back towards MVP, he knocks him down with a hard FALLING CLOTHESLINE. . . Taker returns to his feet and walks over to his corner, tagging in the team captain, Shawn Michaels. The crowd cheer for Michaels, but instead of entering the ring, he instead decides to climb up to the top rope and then leaps off, connecting with an ELBOW DROP. . . Michaels recovers quickly to cover MVP 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . Kick out from MVP, but Michaels isn’t bothered as he stands back up to his feet and walks to his team corner, setting MVP up for the SWEET CHIN MUSIC. . . The crowd clap in tandem as Michaels stamps his foot against the mat.


MVP slowly picks himself up by the ropes, and as he turns round and walks out of the corner, Michaels goes straight for him and lifts his boot towards MVP, but MVP ducks under it and as Michaels spins round, MVP plants him with a SNAP DDT. . . MVP remains on the mat, but after several seconds, he reaches across and covers Michaels 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT! . . . MICHAELS IS STILL IN IT. . . He then turns over on the mat and starts to crawl to his corner, but instead of stopping Michaels, MVP crawls behind him and holds onto his boot, but Michaels is able to jump forward and tag in Matt Hardy. The roof almost comes off as Matt Hardy climbs through the ropes and looks down at MVP. He stares down for a couple of seconds, allowing MVP to sit up and then pushes Matt back into the corner. He then attacks Matt with strong right hands to the head. Keeping hold of Matt’s head, MVP then backs out of the corner and hits a FOOTBALL KICK. . . Matt’s head drops, but MVP quickly grabs him around the chest and tosses him back with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. . .


MVP looks really confident as he then turns over on the canvas and covers Matt 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SHOULDER UP. . . MVP CAN’T BELIEVE IT. . . He looks at Jack Doan in complete shock before standing back up, stepping back into the ropes and then going for a BALLIN’ ELBOW. . . As he drops towards the canvas, Matt turns to his side and rolls back up to his feet. MVP hits the canvas but is up within seconds, but turns round into a kick to the gut from Matt, who then sets him up for the TWIST OF FATE. . . Cheers ring out, but MVP fights it and slips behind, then is able to whip Matt into the corner. As Matt lands back first against the pads, MVP then runs at him and goes for the PLAYER’S BOOT. . . Matt steps to the side and MVP’s boot connects with the pads. He then turns round after staggering round and Matt is quick to plant him with a SIDE EFFECT. . .


Another pop rings out for Hardy as he then walks the short distance to the corner and climbs to the second rope where he then jumps down and connects with a LEG DROP. . . Matt then covers him straight away 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . NOO! KENNEDY IN. . . Elbow drop from Kennedy, but Matt sees it and moves out of the way as Kennedy’s elbow hits the chest of MVP. Kennedy gets back up and turns round into a TWIST OF FATE. . . Orton then charges in, but Matt is back up and nails him with a SIDE EFFECT. . . Huge pop as Matt gets back to his feet, followed by a struggling MVP, who turns round and is met with a stomp to the gut from Matt, who follows it up with a TWIST OF FATE. . . The crowd go nuts as Matt then immediately hooks the leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . MASSIVE POP!


Matt stands back up as the crowd cheer. As MVP comes round, he rolls to the apron and to the outside. Matt then walks to the ropes and looks down with a big smile on his face, but as he stares at his rival, Kennedy gets back up to his feet from behind, as does Orton, but Kennedy charges at Matt and clubs him across the back, while Orton retreats to the apron. Kennedy spins Matt round and lays into him with hard right hands before whipping him hard into the corner. As Matt hits the pads, Kennedy then runs in, but Matt lifts his boot up into Kennedy’s face. Kennedy staggers out of the corner holding his face, and as he turns round, Matt walks out of the corner and plants him with a SIDE EFFECT. . .


The crowd go nuts as Matt again gets in control as he then stalks Kennedy for the TWIST OF FATE. . . but as Kennedy picks himself up to his knees, Matt is distracted by MVP, who climbs up onto the apron and taunting him. Matt then turns his attention to MVP, forgetting about Kennedy as he storms across the apron towards MVP. But Jack Doan intervenes as he walks over and quickly separates the pair and tells MVP to get down off the apron. As Doan’s back is turned, Kennedy walks up slowly behind Matt and low blows him, then rolls him up, holding his tights. Doan turns round and counts 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . NO WAY, NOT LIKE THIS!


Matt & MVP can be seen brawling all the way to the back as Jericho is quick to run in at Kennedy, knocking him down with a clothesline, getting the crowd back into it. He then follows it up with another clothesline as Kennedy storms back up to his feet. This time as Kennedy gets up, Jericho runs behind him, back off the ropes and plants him with a ONE ARM BULLDOG. . . He doesn’t waste any time as he then reaches down to lift up Kennedy’s legs and tries to lock in the WALLS OF JERICHO. . . Huge pop, but Kennedy backtracks right away, pulling himself back across the mat to grab the ropes. Jericho doesn’t let go, but Kennedy pushes him off using all the strength he has. Kennedy then pulls himself back up with the ropes and charges at Jericho, knocking him down to the mat with a clothesline. Kennedy then turns round and walks over to his corner, tagging in Orton.


The WWE Champion then enters the ring, walking over to Jericho as he gets to his knees. Orton reaches down and pulls Jericho up, then hits him with a couple of swift forearms before nailing him with a European uppercut. With Jericho off balance, Orton then whips him into the ropes, but Jericho comes back off the ropes and nails Orton with a FLYING FOREARM. . . Fans cheer again as Jericho stops the momentum. He then rushes back up to his feet and whips Orton into the ropes, and this time connects with a SPINNING WHEEL KICK. . . Another pop as Jericho again tries to apply the walls, this time to Orton, but Orton fights it, sits up and rolls Jericho into a small package 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT! . . . Both men get back to their feet quickly and it’s Orton who strikes as he whips Jericho into the corner and charges in right behind him.


But before Jericho reaches the corner, he grabs hold of the top rope and back flips over Orton, but Orton catches him on his shoulder and then plants him with a SHOULDER BREAKER. . . Orton then gets a crazy look in his eyes as he retreats into the opposite corner and stalks Jericho as he starts to sit up. It looks like he’s setting him up for the RUNNING PUNT. . . As Jericho manages to crawl up to all fours, Orton then charges out of the corner like a man possessed, looking to hit the PUNT. . . BUT JERICHO DUCKS HIS HEAD AS ORTON SWINGS. . . Jericho reaches up and rolls Orton back, holding onto the tights 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . ORTON BARELY PUSHES OUT OF THAT ONE. . . Jericho is back on his feet, followed quickly by Orton, and as Orton turns round, Jericho tries to go for the CODEBREAKER. . . But Orton pulls himself back, narrowly escaping.


He is quick to drive his knee into the gut of Jericho and then slips behind him, planting him with a WHEELBARROW SUPLEX. . . Orton then follows up by standing back up and then dropping a knee across the chest of Jericho. He then hooks the leg for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . SHOULDER UP. . . Orton doesn’t look happy as he gets back to his feet, walks over to his corner and then tags in Kennedy. The Green Bay native then climbs through the ropes as Jericho starts to sit up. Kennedy then lifts Jericho up to his feet and whips him into the corner. As Jericho hits the pads, he follows in at speed, but Jericho sidesteps as Kennedy runs into the pads. As he turns round, Jericho then chops him hard across the chest three times and then pulls him out of the corner by his head.


He then stomps Kennedy in the gut, pulls his head down between his legs and then lifts his arms above the head and plants him with a DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BACK BREAKER. . . Huge pop from the crowd as Kennedy gets nailed. Jericho is quick to drop down and go for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . ORTON STOMPS ACROSS THE BACK OF JERICHO’S HEAD TO STOP THE COUNT. . . Michaels then steps through the ropes and charges at Orton, who is already backing up and is able to slide under the bottom rope before Michaels gets across. He then reaches inside and grabs Michaels by the feet, then drags him to the outside. And in a split second, Orton whips Michaels into the barricade. Orton then slides back in the ring after a grabbing a STEEL CHAIR.


Back on the inside, Orton slips the chair to Kennedy who then covers it with his body, completely unknown to the referee who tries to stop The Undertaker getting in the ring. Orton then stands close to Taker and taunts him, urging him to get in the ring. Doan then has to try and stop Taker getting in the ring, standing in the corner and blocking his path. Orton then backs up as Jericho and Kennedy get back to their feet and Doan tends to The Undertaker. Kennedy has hold of the steel chair, and as Jericho turns round, Kennedy SMASHES HIM ACROSS THE SKULL WITH THE CHAIR. . . Hearing the shot, Doan turns round and sees Kennedy with the chair, and instantly calls for the bell. Kennedy looks shocked and angry as Orton stands on the apron in total shock, with a face like stone. He then seems to have an idea as he charges through the ropes and into the ring, covering Jericho 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3. . . ORTON STEALS ONE!


Orton gets back up to his feet with a smile on his face, but then he sees The Undertaker enter the ring and instantly starts to back up, holding his hands up to. Taker continues to approach Orton and backs him up into the corner, but Orton then drives a sly knee into the gut of Taker and follows up with a couple of european uppercuts, knocking Taker back out of the corner. Just when Orton thinks he has the upper hand, he tries for an irish whip, but it’s reversed by the dead man, and as Orton comes back off the ropes, Taker nails him with a BIG BOOT TO THE FACE. . . The crowd go nuts as Taker lands that one! Michaels starts to come round on the outside and makes his way back over to his corner. Taker then reaches down to pull Orton up to his feet and then goes for a scoop slam, but turns it into a LEG DROP. . .


Orton looks in a little trouble now as Taker looks to finish the match off, again lifting Orton up to his feet, this time twisting Orton’s arm and then keeping hold as he walks to the corner, climbs up to the top rope and walks along the rope, before hitting the OLD SCHOOL. . . Orton squirms on the mat as Taker then reaches down to pick him up and then whips him hard into the corner. He follows in at speed and clotheslines Orton hard across the upper chest, then whips him hard into the opposite corner and repeating the clothesline attack. Orton then staggers out of the corner as Taker then turns round and runs the ropes, comes back and looks for the BIG BOOT. . . BUT ORTON DUCKS IT. . . and connects with an INVERTED SIDE BACK BREAKER. . .


Orton turns the tables and the crowd don’t know what to make of it. Orton still remains on the mat, not totally recovered form Taker’s onslaught. Both men then start to stand up, and it’s Orton who is up first and he whips Taker into the ropes, but as Taker comes back, he shocks everyone as he plants Orton with a FLOAT OVER DDT. . . There’s a massive pop inside the arena as that one landed! Taker takes a few seconds before he can fully stand up, and by that time Orton is starting to move. Taker decides to pull Orton up to his feet and whip him into the ropes, only this time Taker turns back and runs into the ropes, comes back, ducks underneath Orton and both men run through and as they meet the second time, Taker hits a FLYING CLOTHESLINE. . . Again the crowd cheer like crazy as Taker takes charge again.


Neither man is down for long and Taker reacts first as he hits Orton with several hard right hands to the forehead. Orton though fights back with a couple of rights, but Taker then blocks a third and goes for a standing clothesline. Orton though ducks underneath Taker’s arm, and as Taker turns round, Orton plants him with an RKO. . . RIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE! . . . Orton then drops to the mat and hooks the leg 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . THR-NOOOOO! . . . UNBELIEVABLE. . . TAKER KICKED OUT OF THE RKO. . . Orton is absolutely livid as he sits up and stares at Jack Doan. Orton shakes his head, and his eyes are all over the place. He looks like he doesn’t know what to do, but then sees the chair on the outside that Doan kicked out earlier. He gets back up to his feet and slides under the bottom rope to pick up the chair. He then slides it in the ring as HBK sees it, as does Doan.


HBK is furious as he then enters the ring and grabs hold of the chair. Doan tries to get the chair off Michaels, giving Orton the distraction he needed as he then reaches under the ring and pulls out another chair and slides that into the ring, unaware to Doan. Michaels sees it and he raises the chair in his hands up. Doan then tries to block Michaels from using it as Orton slides back in the ring as Taker gets back to his knees, looking very groggy. Orton then places the chair with his feet, right in front of Taker as Doan has his back to the action, trying to deal with Michaels. As Taker slowly gets up, Orton pounces straight away and RKO’S TAKER ON THE CHAIR. . . There’s no loud bang and Orton quickly swipes the chair out of the ring. He gets back up to his feet and tells Doan to turn round before stomping Michaels in the gut and pushing him back to the mat. He then quickly turns back to Taker and hooks both legs 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . ORTON BEATS THE UNDERTAKER


Orton sits up and raises his arm into the air with a big smile on his face, but as he stands up, so does Michaels, right behind him. As Orton turns round slowly, he sees Michaels right in his face and reacts quickly to turn round and run to the outside. Michaels follows to the ropes, and Orton looks into the crowd with a smile on his face. As he then turns round, Michaels then hits a SLINGSHOT CROSS BODY. . . Big pop from the crowd as both men hit the arena floor, but Michaels is up after a few seconds and is quick to pick Orton up and slide him back in the ring before getting back in himself and trying for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . KICK OUT FROM ORTON. . . Michaels then gets back up to his feet and pulls up a squirming Orton, turns back into the ropes, comes back and hits him with a FLYING FOREARM. . .


The crowd are on their feet by now as Michaels flips up to a massive pop. Orton isn’t far behind as Michaels pounces straight away with hard jabs to the jaw of the WWE Champion and then chops him back into the corner. He then climbs to the second rope and starts nailing Orton with right hand after right hand, landing eight in a row before Orton then pushes Michaels down to the mat quite hard. Michaels lands on the back of his head and starts to get to all fours as Orton then sizes him up for the PUNT. . . It could be all over in a split second as Orton the charges out of the corner and takes a swing at Michaels’ head, but HBK ducks it and Orton runs through into the ropes. As Orton comes back off the ropes, he ducks under an outstretched arm of Michaels and then hits him with a STANDING DROPKICK AS MICHAELS TURNS ROUND. . .


Perfect dropkick from Orton as he then remains on the mat and turns onto his stomach, stalking Michaels for the RKO in a press up position. The crowd boo him heavily as he urges Michaels up, and as Shawn gets back up to his feet, Orton strikes as he leaps up for the RKO. . . Michaels is able to push Orton off and into the ropes, and as Orton comes back, Michaels drop toe holds him. Michaels, then within a matter of seconds gets up and applies the SHARPSHOOTER. . . RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING. . . Orton screams in pain as Michaels uses all the strength he can to make Orton tap. Orton continues to scream out, but can’t pull himself to the ropes as Jack Doan gets right in his face, asking him if he wants to give it up.


Orton shakes his head furiously and starts to fight it strongly, slowly pulling himself towards the ropes. Michaels then counters it as he pulls Orton back ever so slightly, but not too far. Orton’s face is bright red as he drags himself closer and closer to the bottom rope with the crowd chanting at him to tap. With one last effort, Orton drags himself towards the rope and he just about reaches forward to grab hold of the bottom rope. It’s met with boos from the New Jersey crowd, but there’s nothing they can do. Michaels then lets the hold go at the count of four with a look of pure frustration on his face. He sees Orton struggling on the mat before backing up to the corner and TUNING UP THE BAND. . . Again the crowd get behind Michaels as they clap and stomp too. Orton slowly picks himself up by the ropes, and as he turns round, Michaels comes charging out of the corner for the SUPER KICK. . .


BUT ORTON DUCKS IT. . . Michaels turns round but into an almighty RKO from Orton. . . Both men drop to the mat, clearly exhausted. It takes a good ten seconds before Orton is able to reach out an arm across Michaels’ chest for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . THR-NOOOOO! . . . MICHAELS GETS HIS SHOULDER UP. . . The crowd go crazy as Michaels just escapes that one. Orton lifts his head up in absolute shock, looking into the crowd in disbelief. He then slowly picks himself up and walks back into the corner, setting Michaels up one more time for the punt. Orton is clearly not fully recovered as he lies and wait for Shawn to get to all fours, and as Michaels starts to come round, Orton sizes it up and then runs at Michaels, but HBK ducks his head in time as Orton runs through into the corner. And as Orton turns round, Michaels is back on his feet and goes for the SUPER KICK. . . Orton ducks it though and as Michaels turns round out of the corner, Orton leaps up and plants him with an enormous RKO. . . The momentum takes Michaels slightly away from the corner as Orton lands hard on the mat, but is able to turn over and place his arm across Michaels’ neck for a cover 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . . 3 . . . OH MY GOD. . . IT’S OVER. . . HE’S DONE IT!


AFTERMATH: “Burn in my Light” blasts out as this amazing match comes to an end. It takes over fifteen seconds for Orton to move as he sits up and then gets back up to his feet where Jack Doan passes him his WWE Championship and raises his arm in the air. Orton looks dazed but extremely satisfied as he then raises his belt into the air above Michaels’ fallen body. He then walks to the ropes and lifts it into the air too, taunting them. He then turns round and places the belt over his shoulder to look down at Michaels with a sick smile on his face

Backstage News and Rumours


We have learnt in the last few hours that Ron “The Truth” Killings has indeed signed a contract with the WWE. We reported last week that there was strong interest and contact between both parties, and we understand that the contract states that Killings will bypass both developmental territories.

Chris Harris has now left TNA wrestling and from what we understand, there was contact between Harris and the WWE in the weeks leading up to the end of Harris’s contract. We are led to believe that Harris will indeed sign a deal with the company very soon.

Rumours regarding The Big Show’s return to the WWE are just that. There has been no confirmation from either side that any kind of deal or even conversation has gone down. This could be to avoid internet speculation and make his return a shock, or it could indeed be true.

It appears that Ric Flair will be returning to the WWE in the near future. He has been telling his close friends that he has reached agreement with Vince McMahon upon a storyline upon his return to the company, but no date or spoilers have reached us yet. With the Royal Rumble approaching, at a guess, we could see Flair as well as the other new or potential signings appear there.

It appears that Johnny Ace has been visiting ROH shows recently, and that he has been casting an eye over a number of performers, most notably the Briscoe Brothers. With a lack of natural tag teams in the WWE, it is understandable that they would be looking at a team with the ability that the Briscoe’s possess. Where it goes from here is not known, but don’t be surprised to see a deal thrashed out between WWE, ROH and the Briscoe’s.

On the back of Survivor Series last night, it was said backstage that everyone was happy with the show. There were no real shocks, maybe with the exception of Batista retaining the World title and what went down at the end of the Intercontinental Championship match. Raw should be interesting for sure as we strive to find out who Vince’s son is and to see the fall out of last night’s show. We also found out that the Open House rules may be taken advantage of by superstars in the run up to the end of the year too, so don’t be surprised to see some Smackdown stars on Raw tonight!

Hey Nige, I haven’t commented in this thread but I really like your work. So here is your Survior Series review!

Tag Team Titles: YES! I love Londrick! Thank you for making them Tag champs, as I’m not a fan of The ******* Wrecking Crew. I was surprised though to see the Originals get eliminated first, but thats no biggy. Solid action throughout, I would give this match ***.

Good to see Lashley’s returning to Raw. Wondering to see who he’ll feud with. Perhaps Kennedy?

Six Man Tag: The right team won here. I like the idea of the WGGT and Masters getting a push and having them in a stable, even though I’m not a big fan of Masters. Exciting match, ** and a ½ stars.

Womens Title: Damn. I was hoping for a new champ, as I cant stand Beth. It was still a good match, and although I normally don’t care for women’s matches, you made it exciting. I would also give this match a ** and a ½ .

Good to see Edge’s associates banned from ringside from for his match tonight, an even contest now I presume.

Classic Triple H promo, with him introducing his little ‘friend’ before his big match tonight. Good promo.

Cruiserweight Elimination: I’m a fan of Kenny, and it was a nice surprise to see him win as I was expecting Matt Sydal or Jeter to win. Great cruiserweight action in this match, and I would say MOTN so far. *** and a 1/2

Glad to see that Shane-O is on Trips and Stephs side, and that everyone is against Vince, who thinks he doesn’t need a family, cos’ hes Vincent Kennedy McMahon! Seriously, I hope you don’t put Kennedy as his son.

Intercontinental Elimination: Great match, with six very talented men battling it out. Disappointed to see CM Punk not getting the title, but good to see you’re giving him push by turning him heel against Hardy. These two could have some great matches, and this match would *** and a ½ also. Great Match!

Rated RKO reunion? I love it. Good to see Batista getting a beat down, and hopefully there will be a new champ tonight in Edge.

Street Fight: It was kind of obvious to who would win this match, but I didn’t think McMahon would dominate so much. I was expecting some more hardcore spots in the match since it was a street fight, but it didn’t really affect the match. I would rate the match ** and a ½ stars.

Great promo from HBK, hyping up his match for later tonight. I hope HBK’s team wins, but we’ll see what happens.

World Heavyweight Championship: Great match, even though I was rooting for Edge. Good idea as to having Umaga dominate most of the match, and I would also rate this *** and a ½ stars.

Elimination Match Main Event: WHAT A MATCH! Great action here, and Randy Orton again is the sole survivor in an elimination match. You surprised with the result, as HBK’s team had two people who had just returned, and he still lost. Fantastic Match, **** and a ½.

Overview: Fantastic PPV Nige! All the elimination matches and the world title match were great, and also the Street Fight! Great show, I would rate it ****. MOTN honours go to the Main Event Elimination Match. Once again, superb show!

DH6's Survivor Series Feedback

-Sorry that it's so short. January and February are going to be busy months for me, so I can't spend all of my time reviewing. Again, my appologies:(

~Good opening video package, but I think you should've highlighted the World Title Match

Good choice to start things off with the World Tag Team Championship. I actually thought that the Intercontinental Title Match would kick things off, but I guess not. Interesting style of match up, with only two people being in the ring, not four. It's good writing wise, and realistic wise, imo. It was good for the team of Richards & Dreamer to start off, because they need that push more than Londrick. Deuce using a Cutter was surprising, especially since it's basically an RKO. I think Stevie should have tagged in either London or Kendrick, rather than Dreamer. That way, everyone would've been involved in the first minute. The action was good in the opening part, but I knew it would get better when either London or Kendrick entered the match. Unrealistic for Dreamer & Richards to get eliminated before Londrick got in the match, but I knew they would be eliminated early. I marked when London got the tag, but my smile was swept right off of my face when he missed the 450 Splash. Glad you're letting him use that move, because he executes it so well. Good choice for Londrick to end up with Murdoch, as I can sense a rematch at Armageddon (if it's cross branded). I was totally shocked to see Londrick get the win. I didn't expect that at all, but like I said, rematch coming.

I enjoyed this segment, and good for Shane to go at Steph like that about not telling him who the child is. Interesting for Stephanie to actually tell Shane. I didn't think that she would.

~Lashley returning sounds good. He's not good unless you try to improve his mike skills, imo.

I liked the teams you've made for this match, especially the UK team. It's good to have an International group like this. Angle Slam and Moonsault on Paul Burchill yet a two count?? Very unrealistic. Because of this, I have a feeling that Angle will be returning soon and Benjamin & Haas will be with him as 'Team Angle.' This match was actually pretty good, a lot better than I expected it to be. A decent enough finish, with Shelton sneaking in and hitting the Charging Spike Reverse STO.

I noticed when the commentators were speaking while Mickie James was making her way to the ring, they said Mickie would have a tough challenge against Victoria and Mickie. I assume it should've been Victoria and Beth Phoenix, but it's just a minor error, nothing too serious. It was good for Victoria to be dominate in the opening part of the contest after she intimidated Beth on Raw. Mickie with an Enziguri? I can sort of picture her doing it, tbh. The match had some big moments for a Women's Match, and the finish was good when Beth pinned Mickie after Victoria did all of the dirty work.

This promo was good, but I don't know how Edge can get disqualified in a Triple Threat Match. I don't think he will, but it would be interesting to see how Edge would get disqualified.

I didn't like how Triple H was trying to be funny with Vince Horse Crap McMahon, especially after his calm tone last Monday on Raw. Triple H had some good lines, but I felt it was slightly too long.

The Cruiserweight Title Match was well written, and really showcased each superstars talents, imo. The match was good because we were guaranted a new champion. I think it was a good choice to eliminate Striker first, since he doesn't have a lot of credibility. I was hoping Chavo would win the title, not Kenny, but still a good choice, because he has some alright mike skills. I also like the push you gave Sydal by getting him down to the final two. The finish was pretty good with Dykstra holding the tights. It was realistic and will hopefully set up a singles match between Dykstra and Sydal in the future for the title.

A little unrealistic for Regal to ask "What son?" but it was still funny. Some heat between Vince and Shane is really interesting, and Vince being turned on by his family is great. I'm liking the idea already. Nice diversion with Kennedy being there greeting him, but I believe that's just to make some people believe Kennedy is Vince's son, when really he isn't.

Good choice for Rhodes to get eliminated first, because he's obviously not the favourite. This was similar to Striker being eliminated first in the Cruiserweight Title Match. I liked how it came down to Burke by himself. This was a good push for him, and it definitely will help his future. I got confused though and misunderstood the rules of the match. I thought that if an entire team got eliminated, the remaining members of the remaining team would fight it out, but I guess not. The finish was great with Burke knocking Punk down, allowing Jeff to get the victory on Burke without Punk interferring. Interesting for Punk to hit Jeff with the GTS? Heel turn? Or just two faces fighting? I guess we'll wait and see.

I liked that you had this segment, because I've been planning to do a segment with Orton and Batista as well, with Orton as WWE Champion and Batista as World Champion, so this gave me a few ideas. Orton and Batista were in good character, and the attack on Batista was great, because Morrison and Miz aren't allowed to interfere in the match, but they can backstage. As soon as I read that Batista got jumped like that, I knew he would win. It would put him over even more as a face.

Really looking forward to this match, because it's so intense, emotional, personal, and has a ton of depth to it. People always babble on that we've seen Triple H and Vince before, but it's your BTB, so do whatever you please. This match was written really well, and it was good for you to give Vince an advantage during the match, showing that he actually had a chance. It was good for Triple H to get back into the match by reversing Vince's Pedigree attempt. Very realistic match writing. Predictable that Triple H would be victorious, but I enjoyed reading this match none-the-less.

Hulk Hogan was the first person to win back to back Royal Rumbles (1990 and 1991 if I'm correct), not Shawn Michaels. You did a good job on this segment, especially since Shawn is quite hard to write as a face. The Superkick was a good way to send the message to Orton, so I liked that.

After the segment earlier, I knew that Batista would win. Before the segment, I knew it would be either Batista or Edge, with Umaga clearly out of the picture. I liked how you booked this. Batista against two heels, being weakened earlier. It was the perfect way to make him look like Superman if he won. You're giving him a lot of credibility, more than he deserves, imo, but none-the-less, still a good job building him up. Several moments in the match where you made the crowd think that it would be over, which was good on your part. I didn't like the finish. I think Umaga should've been the one to take the fall, not Edge. I would really like to see Batista vs. Edge for the World Title at Armageddon, but since Edge took the fall, that would be unrealistic if it happened.

~Good move having a SNME. It's good to help develop feuds.

Surprised to see that Michaels and Orton would start, but it was a good way to kick off the match. I thought Matt Hardy would be eliminated first, but Finlay being eliminated first was a good choice. Shawn's team getting up by two was a surprise. I figured it would be the other way around, and it would be 4-on-1, but Michaels would come back and win it. Good move for Matt to be the first eliminated from Shawn's team, because he's built up as the weakest. Kennedy gets eliminated by DQ? That was a shock, but it was a good move on your part, because it was different. I thought Undertaker would be eliminated before Jericho, since Jericho's fresh from his return. Taker kicking out of the RKO was a surprise, and that would've been a good way to get rid of him. Michaels and Orton put on quite a one-on-one bout, but I did not expect Orton to win. I figured Shawn would win, and then debate that he deserves a shot at the WWE Title.

Overall, the show was amazing, All of the matches and segments were great. I will be looking forward to what happens after Survivor Series, leading up to your next PPV.

D-K-L’s Survivor Series review:


First of all Nige, I think it’s great that you wrote the matches in full. It made the PPV even more fun to read. I've tried to do a really detailed review for you Nige . . .

Tag Title elimination match:
This was a good match, it started off well with some good wrestling moves with nobody really dominating. I was surprised that Richards and Dreamer were eliminated first really, as it seemed that they were receiving a bit of a push in recent weeks, but it was good how they were eliminated from the match with the double team. The next part of the match was good too, again some good wrestling here, even with the heels vs. heels which can sometimes be hard to write. I like how you use their move sets fully too, like the double knee lift from Domino, jumping heel kick from Deuce, flying forearm from Kendrick etc. Deuce and Domino being eliminated next was expected, but I liked how you did it with the Cyclone DDT. I would maybe of liked London to get the pinfall though considering Kendrick also got the pinfall later on, but that doesn’t really matter. The next part of the match was the best with just two teams left in it. It was really well written and exciting, I think you could write a really good regular tag match between these two teams. When Murdoch went for the sunset flip powerbomb, (I’m assuming it’s the Canadian destroyer), I thought it might be over but the reverse was good, this is where the match got really exciting. There was lot’s of great action with lot of near falls in this last part and it was great. I loved the lariat spot with Kendrick doing a 360, for some reason I found it funny, I can just imagine that happening in real life. The hooligans came back after this but I wasn’t expecting them to win at all, I was expecting C+M to get a quick pin at the end, but it didn’t happen! It was a good ending with the superkick and the sliced bread, and good night nurse! I think London could of gone to the top and finished Cade off just to make the ending even more great, but it was great as it was. I really wasn’t expecting London and Kendrick to get the win, but I’m glad they did. It will be great to see them holding the titles on Raw. Great match and a great way to start the show.

Steph/Shane backstage:
First of all I like how you have brought Shane and Steph into this storyline, I like having the two involved in the WWE. I think they add a bit more drama to the Vince/HHH feud too. This was a good little segment, I was surprised that Shane found out who his brother is just like that though with no real shock. So it looks like Steph, HHH and Shane know now, I want to know who it is now! Shane said ‘it certainly makes sense’ so it can’t be that much of a shock. Maybe Mr Kennedy? I think it would work, I think it worked in my BTB too, but I think you might be planning for someone else to be the son.

Looks like Bobby Lashley is coming back. That should be good, as long as he doesn’t get the title I don’t mind. I wouldn’t mind seeing him return as a heel.

Six man Tag Team Match:
Damn you Nige for making a U.K stable with these three! Lol. I was planning to bring these three up to Smackdown as a stable along with Dave Taylor, but you beat me to it so I had to change my plans! Oh well, I am liking this team of Brits in your BTB and hopefully they will do well. I like how it started with Haas and Birchill, there was some good wrestling here. I don’t really know how Birchill wrestles in his current gimmick, whether he’s technical or another style, but the move set in this match seemed to suit him. I liked the little Masters/Smith part in the match too but I was waiting for Shelton to get involved, once he did it started to pick up. I liked the reverse of the Stinger splash from Smith, Smith was doing well after this, I liked how he used the Sit-down powerbomb and brainbuster too. Smith is looking strong in this match. The match again picked up when Drew McIntyre was tagged in, there was some good writing in this last part. Haas nearly getting the win with the roll up was a nice little part, I thought he might of sneaked the win with that but that wasn’t the case. The ending was great, a typical heel victory really with Shelton getting involved when he wasn’t legal. I was actually expecting the young Brits to get the upset, oh well, the WGTT and Masters are looking strong now. It will be interesting to see what you do with these two teams now. I liked Haas and Benjamin with MVP and I like them as Tag champions, so I think you are booking them well at the moment. This was a decent match.

Womens Title Match:
This match was an exciting match, which is good for a Womens title match. Having Victoria and Beth Phoenix in the same match is great and I hope we see them one-on-one soon. The early stages was well written with each of them controlling at one point, you again used the move sets perfectly with all the hitting their regular moves. I loved the ‘on her knees in front of them’ line, that made me chuckle! The rest of the match was good and enjoyable to read, especially the action between Mickie and Victoria. The ending was great with lots of near falls, I was expecting Phoenix to pick up the win, which she did but she did it in a typical heel fashion, which was great. It would really come off well on TV too. So Phoenix takes the advantage and gets the win. This was a enjoyable match Nige, just around the right length for a Womens match too IMO.

Edge/Regal:
Good, short little segment here. I am glad that The Miz and Morrison won’t spoil the main event now.

Triple H Interview:
This was a brilliant interview, you really captured Triple H’s character well, which is a hard thing to do in my opinion when he’s a face. I loved how aggressive he was, yet he still came out with little jokes. The screwing line was funny. This added a lot of hype for the match later.

Cruiserweight Title Match:
This was an excellent match to read, very entertaining. I like the format of the match with the sole survivor taking the title and face vs. heels. The match started off well with some good wrestling between Chavo and Jeter. It is good to see Jeter in this match, as he is a great talent. The little battle between Jeter and Striker was good too. The first elimination came quick but it was a good way to eliminate Striker with the SSP from Sydal. I don’t really know this Sydal, but he seems like an exciting talent. The rest of the match was brilliant, lots of great cruiserweight-style moves and some good eliminations. I was hoping that Noble would get the win so I was disappointed that he didn’t win. As the match went on it looked more and more like you were going to give the win to Sydal, which would have been one hell of a PPV debut for him. After Yang was eliminated we got a great little fight between Dykstra and Sydal, I though you wrote it well. I was shocked at Dykstra winning the title as there didn’t seem to be any build up or any focus on him before the match really,I was expecting it to be one of the new guys or maybe Chavo. Dykstra as CW champ should be interesting.

Shane/Vince backstage:
Another good little intense segment here. It looks like Vince is on his own now until his son is revealed. It looks like you are going with Mr Kennedy after all after that little stare after Vince left.

Intercontinental Championship Match:
Another great match here, one of the best of the show. It again started well with Marrella, Punk, Cody and Burke all getting a little action. Rhodes got eliminated quite quickly by Burke, but I suppose he isn’t ready to win the title yet so it was probably the right decision. After the first elimination there was some good wrestling, mostly including Jeff and it started to get more exciting. Marrella’s elimination probably came at the right time, but I thought that you might have had Marrella win the title so I was a little surprised. Punk giving him the GTS was good, he and Burke are looking strong now after eliminating the first two. The next bit of action was good between Punk and Carlito, it was well written and exciting. I was expecting Carlito to be the next one eliminated, which he was, but having the champion eliminate him means that he will not lose his credibility, especially as it was a roll up. The last part of the match was no doubt the most exciting part between Jeff Hardy and Elijah Burke. Lots of near falls and many signature moves made it very exciting, it was very well written too. I was really hoping that Burke would win the title, but it wasn’t to be. I was happy that it took a lot to pin Burke for the three though. When Jeff Hardy got the win I was surprised really, I was really expecting a new champion. I’m not really that much of a fan of Hardy, but I don’t mind him as champ, the way he won was expected, a good clean finish with his finishing manoeuvres. After the match was the huge turn of Punk, and I love it! A great way for Punk to turn heel and I doubt anyone was expecting it, nailing him with the GTS was a great way for him to make a statement. I think that Punk will go on to take the title from Hardy later on, and I bet it’ll be one hell of a match. If you write a I.C title match between the two in the future please write it in full, I think it would be an awesome match. Punk as a heel should be very interesting, hopefully you’ll have him cut a great promo to gain heat on Raw. I have seen him as a heel before his WWE days and he is great, he can cut a great heel promo. This feud is going to be great, good match, good twist, and good job.

Batista attacked:
This was OK really, I suppose it makes people think that Batista won’t be up to retaining his title due to the beating. It was quite realistic TBH, something that Edge would do IRL.

HHH vs. Mr. McMahon:
I like how it started, very realistic heel tactics from Vince, if you just started with them going at it then HHH would have finished it very quickly. I like how you kept it realistic in the early stages with Triple H dominating. Vince had to have some offence in this match for it to be a good match, and he was always going to gain control through a dirty move or a lucky move, which he did. Having HHH run into the steel was a good way for Vince to start controlling. What you did from then on was great, having Vince stay in control by using weapons and dirty tactics. However, it was never going to last, HHH coming back and gaining control was good. I liked how you had HHH let go of the cover too, showing everybody that he could beat him easily there and then. HHH brining out the sledgehammer was expected, you added a nice little twist with Vince hitting the low blow but HHH quickly regained control, hitting him with the sledgehammer and the pedigree for the win. I think the match was the perfect length too, not to long for it to be unrealistic considering Vince’s age. It’ll be interesting to see the fall out to this match. Before the match I was hoping that this son of Mr. McMahon would come out and help his Dad, I think that would have been a great twist. However, when I saw it was match 6 I knew it would not happen really. It’ll be interesting to see the fallout of this match and it’ll be interesting to see what Stephanie will think of what happened.

HBK Interview:
This was a decent interview, just a normal pre-match interview really. You captured his character well though as it’s quite hard when he’s a face IMO. I’m not sure about him hitting Matthews with the SCM though, but I suppose it’s something that HBK would do.

Edge vs. Batista vs. Umaga:
This was another exciting match. I am not really a fan of Batista but he can put on some good matches just like this one, Edge is always exciting and Umaga can put on some good matches too. The match was great, you used their movesets to the full and it flowed very well. I think there could have been a bit more one-on-one action though like triple threats IRL, when a superstar is destroyed and a superstar isolates the other, but that doesn’t really matter as it made an exciting match. There was lots of near falls and every competitor got their chance to control which was good. The ending was good but I was shocked when it happened, I really did not expect you to have Batista retain the title, I was sure that Edge would get the win. I think Edge deserves the title more and would make a better champion, but I’m sure you have your reasons. I can see another match between Edge and Batista at the next PPV though which would be good, it’d be interesting to see if Batista would retain the belt one-on-one against Edge.

Main Event:
This was a fantastic match, no doubt the match of the night in my opinion so you were right to make it the main event. It started with the two team captains which was good, HBK taking the early advantage was the right decision really. Some good action followed and it really stepped up when Taker came in. Finlay eliminated first was expected really considering who is on his team, and he doesn’t lose any credibility either since he was beaten by Taker. I was expecting the heel team to gain the advantage with an elimination first though. Hardy eliminated MVP next which I was again a little surprised about, I was hoping he would put in a bit more fight, the face team have the advantage now. But shortly after Kennedy eliminates Hardy after a bit of cheating, I think this was a great decision as it keeps the Hardy/MVP feud going too. Again, there was some good action now. The next two eliminations were great too, very creative, well done for thinking of it. Kennedy getting DQ’d keeps his rep up and Y2J being eliminated after a chair shot keeps his up too. I can just see Orton sneaking a pinfall like that too, very realistic. The next part of the match with Taker vs. Orton was great, very well written and entertaining. The two can really work with each other. Having The Undertaker kick out of the RKO was great, I really wasn’t expecting it and it shows The Undertaker’s strength. I liked how Orton eliminated The Undertaker next with the RKO on the chair, again very realistic and creative. It was going to take a dirty tactic to eliminate The Undertaker. This last part of the match with the battle between Orton and HBK was no doubt the best part of the match, lots of good moves and action made it exciting. I liked HBK locking in the Sharpshooter, pulling out all the stops and I though that might have been it, but Orton managed to keep going. The ending was exciting, HBK never hits the SCM the first time so that was expected, but I was expecting HBK to hit it out of nowhere, but Orton won! I was really shocked at that, I really thought that HBK would win and go on to face Orton for the title. Anyway, it was a fantastic match and a great ending.

Overall:
I thought this was a fantastic PPV Nige, the matches were excellent and the backstage promos were too. The great thing about the show was that it was so hard to predict beforehand, I had no idea who would win most of the matches, and that made it great. There were many shocks too, that MOTN would be the main event for me. Good work Nige, it was a great Show. Keep it up!

Nige's Survivor Series Review
Sorry about the slight delay posting this review, Nige, but at least I've got it up now.


Paul London & Brian Kendrick def. Stevie Richards & Tommy Dreamer, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch and Deuce n' Domino
An outstanding match to start the PPV, like others I too was very surprised that the first team to be eliminated was Richards and Dreamer. I was also surprised that London and Kendrick won the match, as I believed that Cade and Murdoch would win. Never mind about my predictions though, a great way to begin the show, and will set the standard for the other matches to follow.

Shane McMahon - Stephanie McMahon promo
This was a good promo, and not letting the Triple H/Vince McMahon feud be forgotten. I was generally surprised that Stephanie told Shane who the son was, as this was only the second event that happened at the PPV. Some good dialogue used by both as always.

Lashley return promo
Good to see that Lashley's coming back, and it'll be interesting to see what you can do with him. Will he be a face? Will he be a heel? Will be go for the title, regardless of whether he's face or heel? We don't know, but obviously you do.

Six-Man Tag Team match
It's great to see that you have a UK Stable, Nige, and this is the best way to use Smith, Birchall and McIntyre in my opinion. A good match in all aspects, and I was startled to see that World's Greatest Tag Team and Masters won the match, I thought the U.K Pack were gonna do it. Nevermind.

Raw 15th Anniversary promo
It's good that you're hyping the event, and hopefully your 15th Anniversary show will be better than the one the real WWE produced, which I'm sure it will.

Beth Phoenix def. Mickie James and Victoria
Damn, I though Victoria was gonna win! I really need to work on my predictions! Anyway, this was a great match judging by diva match standards, a whole lot better than a normal diva match. Phoenix wins, which is fine, but not for my predictions though.

William Regal - Edge promo
A good promo you've written here, and interesting that Edge will be disqualified if Miz and Morrison interfere, so the triple threat title match looks to be a good old wrestling bout. A humorous ending to the promo with what Regal said.

Triple H interview
Some strong words used from Triple H in this interview, which is just the right thing to do with him leading up to his match. The street fight looks to be brilliant.

Cruiserweight Championship match
This was a phenomenal match, Nige, the best of the night so far. Lots of high-flying action, which is obviously what the cruiserweight division needs.But most importantly, my prediction for the outcome of the match was true! Woohoo! Good to see Dykstra win the match, and it will be interesting to see how this big cruiserweight feud will continue after this match.

McMahons promo
A good promo written here, Regal's line "Certainly sir, which one?" was hysterical. A vintage McMahon promo, and interesting to see Shane's decision.

Intercontinental Championship match
Yet another top class match, Nige! Great to see Hardy win, although I predicted a win for CM Punk. Speaking of Punk, I was astonished to see the aftermath of this match. Punk turning heel will be entertaining, and it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

Batista attacked
A very interesting promo here, although I was surprised that Orton was involved in this, as he has nothing whatsoever to do with the World Title feud, and he's strongly involved in another big feud of his own. Also very eye-catching that Batista was attacked, although as soon as I saw this happen, I knew Batista would put on a superhero act and retain the title.

Triple H def. Vince McMahon
Another great match, McMahon's dirty tactics really blended in with his character, which is very clever by you, Nige. I thought Triple H would be screwed by someone from the back, and Vince would win the match, but I was proved wrong again. Triple H lifting up McMahon's shoulder indicated that he was gonna win this match, and he did.

Shawn Michaels interview
A good, realistic interview by HBK, fitted his character well. Building more hype for the big match, which is good. Still surprised at how you used Orton though, having him involved in the World Title feud minorly.

World Heavyweight Championship match
And Batista wins! Realistic as he was attacked earlier, and he put on a superhero act, similar to Cena's character in reality. I was expecting an Edge victory before I saw the Batista-Orton promo, but obviously the Rated R Superstar didn't prevail. An outstanding match, some good moves used.

Main Event
It is now time for our mainnnnnnnnnn eventttt!!!! It's finally here. You've put a lot of build up into this match, which is great. Team Orton prevailing is good, not a typical face team win. Orton once again the sole survivor in the match, proving why he's the WWE Champion. A nice, long match with a lot of action involved, the best way possible to cap off a memorable Pay-Per-View.

Overall
It was only your second PPV, and what a PPV it was! Tons of build-up, and you proved exactly why. Now that Survivor Series has come and gone, it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks. Nothing at all that you need to work on, you are among the elite in BTB writers!

Rating
10/10

Jamie1 Presents Nige with a Survivor Series review



As you will already probably know Nige I am new to this Forum so have not been able to see your shows and all the build up to this card but I do want to say the card looks absolute brilliant, I looked over some parts of Raw and Smackdown, I really only read the last promo and last match as I feel that is usually when most things happen and what I did pick up on was the Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Mr McMahon angle you are currently carrying and I got to say you are really making it entertaining so far, Stephanie and Triple H husband and wife was obvious to all and if you watched the WWE or WWF as it was called then around late 1999 you would know about this but you have decided to bring this into your BTB and I believe it is a very good idea. Anyway I will now begin to review the show


OK the opening credits with the narrator was good if you are going for the true Survivor sort of thing and really trying to show what this pay-per-view is all about but I would have prepared to see more on the matches, I know the videos showed the rivalry of all the matches but I believe the narrator should have something to say about at least Mr McMahon and Triple H, the huge street fight match but anyway your choice and at the end of the day it does not matter


The tag team championship I felt was a good match to open the show like DH6 above said especially due to the fact that we have two of the best athletes in the match knowing as London and Kendrick, OK the match started with Lance Cade and Stevie Richards, unlike the last reviewer I was not surprised that you only had two men in at the start as it is a tag team match, Anyway Richards showed a little bit of dominance to begin with before Cade got the upper hand, I liked the way Cade tagged in Deuce instead of his own partner as that is what usually happens and it was good to see, I felt throughout the whole of the match Deuce was rather dominant when he was in the ring and I was glad to see this, I was thinking Deuce and Domino had a good chance of winning which I would not have minded, anyway Dreamer finally got the upper hand over Deuce and tagged in his partner Dreamer, I was glad to see their was a pop for Dreamer, Dreamer did start well when he came into the match but soon Deuce got better, I feel you made Dreamer look a little weak at this point, Anyway first team to go out was Dreamer and Stevie Richards which really did not surprise me, are they on the Smackdown or Raw roster now? Anyway I think it is better keeping the Extremists away from the tag titles, Moving on London finally gets into the ring, thank you Murdoch, London going for a huge move before he has even stepped in the ring was typical of London and I was glad to see this, him not connecting was maybe a good thing as It kept Deuce and Domino in the match a little longer, Deuce and Dominos elimination was obvious to me unless you pulled plain stupidity and put out the two best talents London and Kendrick but I knew you would not do this, I loved the way Deuce and Domino got put out, great teamwork showing, the match went on and it was down to the champions and the challengers, to be honest Nige I skipped a couple of small paragraphs when it was down to the last two tag teams just so I could read the last two small paragraphs, anyway London and Kendrick got the win, you don’t how happy I was to see this, now a little credibility in the tag titles again, Good way to kick of the pay-per-view and it makes me want to keep on reading



Shane and Stephanie McMahon promo was just brilliant, their were no faults in this promo and that is a surprise coming from me, I usually find something but I could not in this one, Nige you got the character of these two to the best you could, I really do mean that, the realism was very good as I could picture these two talking to each other like this, Stephanie on the phone to Linda, I am actually sitting picturing it, this was just brilliant and what a way to keep me and all the other bookers interested, who is Mr McMahon’s son, I do not have a clue but I am sure will find out, hopefully by the end of this show but I doubt it, I am sure you will keep this going for a little longer, another question I ask myself is Shane going to keep the secret or will he screw Stephanie and Triple H, will Shane end up siding with his dad, we seen at Wrestlemania 21, well I am sure it was that when Stephanie backed up her dad over Shane, will Shane now back up his dad over Stephanie, this could get interesting


OK the next match another tag team match, I am not sure no well I am actually it is Survivor Series LOL, OK Nige I did not have enough time to read all of this match so I very quickly skimmed threw it and really only read the last two paragraphs, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team and Masters picking up the win was good, I am really sorry Nige I just cannot think of anything else to say on this match


The Women’s Championship match I did read, I wasn’t not going to read it fully as I don’t think women wrestling is up to much, anyway this match was actually very entertaining and the flow of the match was very good, Beth Phoenix dominating for most of the match kept on powerful and no messing with me look with her, before the match started I thought Mickie may have won this match but as the match gradually went on I knew this was not going to be the case, I then thought it was going to be Victoria getting the win and my thought were made clear when I was just waiting to read. 1.2.3 over Mickie but this was not to happen, Beth coming into the ring and tossing Victoria out the ring and then getting the pin was really great and good to read, maybe Beth retaining the title Is a good idea


William Regal and Edge promo was realistic I felt and a good way to make sure the match later tonight runs smoothly instead of interference ruining the damn match


Triple H interview was great and really helped build up this absolute amazing feud you are building, Triple H sentence at the end was brilliant, Since Step screwed you she has been screwing me ever since, brilliant and a real good promo


The Cruiserweight match was a real excellent match to read and I honestly mean that Nige, once again their really isn’t any faults on my part, you had the match length and everything brilliant, So onto the match, like I have said in the last match I was not going to read all of this but I decided to it, its cruiserweights for crying out loud, Anyway first person to get eliminated Matt Striker, do I agree, yes and no, I think Striker is better than the Cruiserweight division not because he has amazing talent just because I think he should be managing a big heel superstar, So him out was OK for me, I am going to work on the eliminations first, Jeter out next, I like him and thought he may get a little further in this match to be honest but I see he isn’t, Chavo pinning him was the right guy as Chavo I feel is the strongest man in this match, Next person eliminated Chavo, no! no! no!, how could you eliminate Chavo, he plays the cruiserweight champion role so good, you should have at least kept him in for a little longer, the fourth person eliminated is bad and really weakens Chavo in my opinion, anyway moving on the next person eliminated was Jamie Noble, the next superstar I expected to win after Chavo went out, I think Chavo and Noble should at least of been in the last three superstars left in the match, one thing I do like is it is really making one of my favourites not for this match but in actual wrestling Jimmy Wang Yang look every so good, eliminating to former and arguably best Cruiserweights of all time Chavo and Noble, is he going to win it I wonder?, I see not as Dykstra eliminates him next, well at least you let Jimmy eliminate a few people and really show himself as the talented guy he truly is, Dykstra against Sydal, you look like you are really pushing this guy to be a top star which is not a bad thing as he is amazing, Dykstra getting the win by cheating was a great way to end what I personally have to call MOTN so far. I had so many changes in my mind who would win at first I was thinking right Chavo or Sydal because I was thinking a push for him, then I remembered Noble so I was really confused, when I read Yang really dominating in the match I thought he was going to get the win, the three men I didn’t expect to win was Dykstra, Striker and Jeter and one of them did, this is a good thing though, a very good thing as it keeps me surprised!


Mr McMahon and Shane McMahon promo I felt was just another promo to add to the feud, I thought the promo was OK sometimes men drifted out of character but not to much, the bit I loved was when Mr McMahon left the room and Kennedy was their, Mr Kennedy Mr McMahon’s Son, it has to be, I would think this with anyone else but it is you Nige, you like surprises


This match had me intrigued just with the rules but no offence Nige, it really disappointed me, I don’t know why it just did, the match was entertaining for I suppose, Cody going out first was the right thing but then after that I felt the match got a little boring, I actually am not sure if I like Cody going out first as I would like to see him get a push, but then it just got worse for me Santino Marella getting eliminated, No why did you have to do this, Santino I thought had a chance of winning the title and him being eliminated before Carlito I felt was rather strange, Anyway moving on next out is Carlito and that was correct even though he should have been out before the Italian comedian, It was down to Elijah Burke, I would liked to have seen a little bit of arguments going on between Punk and Jeff Hardy and then Burke taking advantage of this, Now onto Elijah Burke getting pinned, I really could not see Hardy doing what he done, tag his partner in, its that bad or am I being honest, I just cant imagine him being like that, Jeff Hardy winning was alright, the end was rather good right enough, CM Punk turning heel, this could be excellent and I look forward to seeing what unfolds


Randy Orton and Batista promo was good, Orton being his cocky self and Batista telling him so, then The Miz and John Morrison, The Miz and John Morrison attacking Batista, The Miz….. And John Morrison attacking the Animal, well I don’t think so but anyway Randy helping his old pal Edge was good to see, RatedRKO were the best


Triple H v Mr McMahon was probably the best match I have read so far in this Forum, OK I loved the way you started the match Nige, Mr McMahon running away from Triple H was something I liked to see, him then sneaking into the ring and stomping on the game was also good and very realistic, Triple H dominated the match in the early stages and that is what had to happen, Mr McMahon slowly got into the match and you done this so realistically, this is exactly what you see in every McMahon match, he Is getting beat badly and then he hits with a punch to the gut and then hits with a clothesline looking completely tired, Mr McMahon started to dominate using all the dirty tricks in the books, choking the hell out of Triple H and then he snapped. LOL, I loved this, you cant have a match with McMahon without him completely losing the plot, Anyway moving on Triple H got back into the match, hitting with the pedigree but then saying he is not finished, this was great, The game leaves the ring and gets the sledgehammer, Now at first I was wanting Triple H to take him down with the sledgehammer and then get the win but when McMahon got the hammer, I was praying he would knock the lights out of Triple H, imagine you made McMahon win, this would have been great and an ultimate surprise, Anyway Triple H ended up getting the win what was fine with me anyway. The only thing that disappointed me was Shane McMahon wasn’t involved at all.


Shawn Michaels interview had a great ending even though it was just to build up the main event. Shawn Michaels sweet chin music to Josh Matthews was great


The World Heavyweight Championship Match was another great match, I didn’t think it was better than McMahon and Triple H but I still thought it was really good, before the match I was expecting Edge to pick up the victory but I am glad you have decided to keep that championship on Batista, Sorry I didn’t say a lot about this match, I just want to get on with the main event


There is no doubt in my mind that this was truly MOTN, I thought to myself nothing could beat the McMahon Triple H street fight but this certainly bet it and by far, OK even though Finlay is a good wrestler and always has been if we be truthful he was the weakest superstar in this match so for the first time Nige I agree with who you eliminated first, Undertaker eliminating him was also good to see, I would actually like to see a Finlay, Undertaker rivalry, OK the next person out is MVP, why! Why! Why! No only joking I was not happy with this at first but then when Matt Hardy got eliminated it did make it better as they two brawled up the ramp, Mr Kennedy eliminating Matt Hardy made him look strong in this match, Kennedy out next but what a way to go totally taking down Jericho with the steel chair, this was very good, him getting DQ was also good, Randy Orton taking full advantage was brilliant and got the 1.2.3 over Jericho. Next person eliminated was The Undertaker and it was Orton who done it, I love Randy Orton as a wrestler and I think he is really the best in the WWE, him eliminating The deadman made him look really strong which always has to be good, Now down to the two captains could it be any different way, Randy Orton getting the win after delivering the RKO was brilliant as well, Randys team picking up the win I love. Great match Nige to end a great show.


Overall: What a show Nige, What a show. I know I criticized a few little things but still this has got to be the best show I have read so far on this forum, Absolute brilliant and this stuck you out as a great booker. Congratulations

Paul London & Brian Kendrick def. Stevie Richards & Tommy
Nice way to start off the PPV. Surprising with Richards and Dreamer getting eliminated first, but it was unpredictable, nice job on that. I liked that you have Paul London and Brian Kendrick the win, i don't like Cade and Murdoch, so nice result for it. It was a good way to start off this pay per view, nice job

Nice match you got here, even though this has been done before, i think lol. But i liked how you gave McMahon those dirty tactics, its liked what he would do in the real WWE. Im surprised Vince didn't have someone else come in and help him get the win. I liked how HHH won though. Nice job

Heyman Deciple’s Survivor Series Review​

World Tag Team Title Elimination Match: This was a very good match and a great way to lead off the pay per view. I was glad to see Brian Kendrick & Paul London walk out as the new World Tag Team champions.

Shane McMahon – Stephanie McMahon: I liked this segment, as it had some good interaction between Shane and Stephanie and does a good job of building interest in the Street fight match later, which I am really looking forward to.

Burchill, McIntyre, & Smith vs. Benjamin, Haas, & Masters: A lot of good young talent in this match and Chris Masters too. This was a damn good 6 man match with Benjamin, Haas, & Masters getting the win. Which I thought was the right decision. By the way JBL calling Cole a moron and treating him as such gets high marks from me. Good stuff.

Mickie James vs. Victoria vs. Beth Phoenix: This was a very good Divas match as all three women can really go in the ring and I enjoyed the ending with it looking like Victoria was about to pick up the win after hitting the widows peak and then Beth throws her out of the ring and steals the pin on Mickie James. Good booking.

William Regal – Edge: Solid segment here with Regal telling Edge that Morrison and Miz would not be allowed at ringside.

Triple H Interview: Nice interview here with Triple H as he talked about his upcoming street fight with Vince, the family conflict, and some of the past history between him and Vince.

Cruiserweight Title Elimination match: I liked the idea of putting titles on the line in the elimination matches that was pretty original. This was an exciting match with Kenny getting the win, in the end I was rooting for Matt Sydal but still it was a good match and a good win for Kenny.

Vince McMahon – Shane McMahon: Another good segment building up to the street fight with Vince confronting Shane and Shane standing up to his father and then we see Mr. Kennedy for some possible foreshadowing? I liked it.

Intercontinental Title Elimination match: This was a great match with Jeff Hardy ultimately retaining his title. I was hoping to see CM Punk walk out with the Intercontinental title but what happened after the match with Punk hitting Hardy with the GTS was absolutely awesome. I really enjoyed Punk turning heel here. To me CM Punk is one of those wrestlers like Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels you like them when they’re good guys but you like them even better when they’re bad guys. So I’m really looking forward to seeing where this Punk heel turn goes. Good stuff.

Randy Orton – Batista: I enjoyed this segment as Batista and Orton were having a good confrontation bringing up their past history and then Batista is attacked by Morrison and the Miz as Edge looks on and then Edge and Orton exchange pleasantries. Good segment.

Triple H vs. Vince McMahon: I felt this was a great street fight. This match was really a lot of fun to read. I really thought Vince was going to somehow pull out the win, maybe with a Shane double cross or a Kennedy run in but this was good with Triple H getting the win and then the little moment at the end with Triple H and Stephanie was good too.

Shawn Michaels Interview: Solid interview here with Shawn, I particularly liked Shawn hitting Josh with the super kick because I did not see that coming at all.

Batista vs. Edge vs. Umaga: Good Match and a nice win for Batista. I really thought Edge was going to win or maybe even Umaga, I really didn’t expect Batista to walk out with the title but I’m glad he did, as it kept things unpredictable. This was a great match.

Team HBK vs. Team Orton: It was a good choice putting this match on last, I’ve really been looking forward to this one as I am a fan of just about everybody in this match. Finlay was the first man eliminated which surprised me at first but after I thought about it, with the level of talent in the ring it makes sense. Next was MVP which made me sad because well MVP rules, then Matt Hardy. Kennedy was the next eliminated by disqualification, which surprised me but I liked it because at least Kennedy didn’t have to take a pin fall defeat or anything and it keeps Kennedy looking strong, which I like. Next Jericho was eliminated and then the Undertaker. Shawn and Orton were the final two and in the end Randy Orton pulled out the victory for his team, which works for me.

This was a really good pay per view, I give it a 9 out of 10.

Alim's Survivor Series Review

Well, once again, I'm sorry for not reviewing your Cyber Sunday pay-per-view, but I was really caught up. I'm back, and I'm here to review your Survivor Series pay-per-view which looks extremely solid like I have said before. You already know I had an almost 2 month hiatus from BTB, so I really couldn't follow your thread from a little before Cyber Sunday until now. With that being said, forgive me if I get some of the things wrong, and don't hesitate to correct me afterwards.

Alright, first thing's first, the opening video package for the pay-per-view. Now I see this being very necessary, because I'm a video package whore :p. I found this a little to one sided if you know what I mean. In the video package you only had clips and captions of only two storylines, when you could have had more. You could have had some for the WHC match, IC title match, CW title match, there's a lot you could have put in there. So I kind of found the video package sloppy, sorry.

What a match to start off the show! Seriously, this match was so fun to read, it had all the moves that gets the crowd fired up, and I even noticed you had London do a 450, but sadly he missed. The nearfalls in this match really got me going too, because as I'm reading, I see "1..... 2..... NO!" there were just so many, damn. I think you also did a really, really good job of getting everyone the same amount of time in the ring and to showcase their skills, but I would have liked to see a bit more of Dreamer and Richards, but they got eliminated early on. I kept seeing the Cyclone DDT though, I must have seen it 3 times I think, that move was a bit overused. Great match to kick off the show. ***1/4

Great promo with Stephanie and Shane. You have really improved on your promos ever since you've started this new thread, and that was also evident on the Smackdown before this show. I'm still not entirely familiar with this storyline, but by the looks of it, you have Vince not accepting Triple H into his family, so you got some real life stuff going on there too, I have never seen that before in a BTB, which is great. I'm guessing Hornswoggle is not Vince's son, thank god lol. I was surprised that you had Stephanie tell Shane who the son was, I was sure she would have kept it a secret for a little while longer.

Lashley returning is great. Will add some even more star power to Raw.

I like the fact that you always have atleast one stable going on in your thread. In your last thread you had the whole Ric Flair/Johnny Jeter/CM Punk thing going on, and in this thread you have the unique UK Pack. I would have actually thought this guys were heel, but they turned out to be face after I noticed that they got a pop when they came out. Exciting moves in this match too, such as the moonsault, shooting star press, etc. The heels getting the win was surprising, because I thought the UK Pack would win their pay-per-view debuts, I guess not. **1/2

Nice to see your using video packages wisely. I mark for video packages. 15th Anniversery show was expected, but I still find it early when it should really be in January.

This is like a dream feud at the moment for the WWE divas, I'm glad you have it in your thread. Thank you for writing your matches in full, because it really adds to the pay-per-view and I find it more exciting to read full matches on pay-per-view then recapped ones like you've always been doing, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. You made this match exciting too, many nearfalls again and lots of moves that you wouldn't expect seeing. I think you kind of made Beth look a little weak with the finish though, you just had her pick up the scraps from Victoria when she could have done it herself. Still pretty solid though. **3/4

Regal and Edge promo was pretty good, there really isn't anything I'd fix about it, it was pretty straight forward and got the point out pretty clearly. Miz and Morrison not being able to interfere doesn't matter imo, I still think Edge will pick up the win some how.

Without a doubt this feud between Vince/Triple H is the top feud in your thread right now. This interview had solid written all over it. Triple H was completely in character, and I could picture him perfectly by reading the interview. I expect a really bloody battle between the two.

The Cruiserweight title match was definatly Match of the Night so far, by far. Really enjoyed this match because of all the action going on. You showcased the lost Cruiserweight Division extremely well. All of the guys got to showcase themselves like you've been doing for the other 3 matches too. I was actally surprised to see Sydal go all the way to the end, I thought it was going to be Chavo vs. Jimmy Wang Yang to be honest. Despite Sydal losing, he still made a good showing since he lasted all the way to the end. Wouldn't be shocked to see him get a push towards the CW title. ***3/4

Really heated promo with Shane and Vince. The tension is really building up, big time, and the fact that you had Vince say he doesn't need anyone anymore hit the spot right there. I see the illegitimate siding with Vince some how, but man, this is definitly my favorite storyline in this thread. It's so heated, I love it. When you had Kennedy say 'Good to see you sir,' I knew you were foreshadowing something...

Another great match dude, but I still think the CW title match was a tad bit better. I really didn't see Jeff Hardy retaining the gold, but I guess you had to do it because of this next feud which I see coming... Punk vs. Hardy. I'm extremely glad that it won't be a face vs. face feud, if the feud even happens, which I'm sure it will. Punk is an amazing heel, and I can see you taking him to great heights. ***

A confrontation between the WWE Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion... interesting to say the least. It was nice to see you brought up the past about how Batista and Triple H screwed over Orton a few years back, but it's kind of getting old now. We see that a lot nowadays. Something tells me that this isn't going to be their final confronation for the time being.

As expected, a bloody brawl between Vince and Triple H. I knew it was going to be a traditional street fight with nothing too intense such as diving off ladders. It was a good match though. You used Vince very well by using the heel tactics such as running away at the start of the match. I was glad there wasn't any interference either, it just added more to the match. Fun match. ***1/4

Another intense promo, which was solid. HBK seemed in character throughout, and I agree he has bitten off more then he can chew, but hell, he's the Heart Break Kid! Him superkicking Josh Matthews was very unexpected, but it added more heat to the match later on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BATISTA RETAINED! I wanted Edge to win lol. I didn't think Umaga would win at all, and you didn't have him get pinned either, which was a right move to make so you could keep Umaga as that dominate monster, unlike what WWE is doing right now with him.. This was a solid match, but I still think the CW title match is MOTN so far. ***1/2

Saturday Night's Main Event should be good, and after taking a look at the poster, it looks like Batista, Randy Orton, and Triple H will have some big parts on the show.

Excellent main event. My second favorite storyline in this thread, and it was a great way to end the show. There was so much action, but it all flowed together greatly. The eliminations were all at the right time imo, and it was good to see Orton the soul survivor, but it doesn't make HBK look weak because he put up a great effort. I'm also surprised Undertaker got eliminated by Orton, I would've thought he'd get out via DQ or something, but that's what's so good about this thread, the surprise factor. I liked HBK using the Sharpshooter too :p. Excellent main event man. ****1/4

Overall, an amazing show. All matches were top class with tons of action and emotion. I'm really glad you wrote this pay-per-view in full because I could enjoy it to its full potential. You've improved immensly, especially your promos. I hope you continue to write your pay-per-views in full. Overall, I give this show ****. Good job.
