My favorite Survivor Series match is The Wildcard Match from 1995, but I really enjoyed Team Angle Vs. Team Lesnar in 2003.
IMO, not even the best one that night.

I thought the SD match was more fun to watch than the overrated Team Austin Vs. Team Bischoff match. It didn't help that they were using the "If Austin's team loses, he gets fired" angle since we all knew he was coming back anyway. I'm just glad Bischoff's team won because if HBK had beaten 3 guys all by himself, it would've been absolute horsesh*t.

1] You have that backwards; The other match was the overrated one. (Proof? It included Hardcore Holly, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan & the overrated pair that found their way back, Lesnar & A-Train.)

2] I agree on the comments about Austin returning & HBK beating the guys by himself. However, knowing Steve would come back regardless made the match easier to enjoy as it went along, & something being horses--- doesn't rule-out WWE doing it anyway.

I think I watched Orton/Cena @Breaking Point at like 2am. Was mindfucked.
I absolutely LOVED the Edge-Cena series from that year, including the TLC match. On the other hand, can't think of a singles series Orton has been involved with against anyone that I liked.

Lastly, is it speaking ill of the dead to say Test shouldn't have won that match @ SS? I know it's not doing so to say Albert/Tensai should not have won anything, & should not be in televised matches now.
Not even vs Christian?

I know it doesn't sound good on paper, but they made it work. The quick eliminations at the start made the match exciting for me to watch.

I don't have the heart to watch that Orton/Cena Iron Man match. I own the show but I have a horrible feeling that it isn't worth the time.
It's not. I've always been a fan of one hour Iron Man matches, but this was the pits. Not did Cena and Orton have a 30 second rest period after each fall (since their cardio sucks), but having only pinfalls and submissions count as falls robbed them and the fans of strategic planning.

Considering he shouldn't ever wrestle a televised 1-on-1 match either, no.

Also, in response to what VC said about the SS match, I'm not referring to how it might look "on paper". I have watched the match (in fact owning the DVD), & they didn't "make the match work"... If anything, it is work to stay awake through it.

Started up my Raw project again after over 7-8-9 months of delay. Took a while to get back into things because of the big file hosts going down and the MM section basically turning to shit so I turned to PB and oddly enough they had the complete '98 year there. Watching every Raw/SD! from '98 - '05 as well as PPVs to fill what I missed. Probably gonna recap the last few years as well. Once I'm done I'm gonna do '93-'97 since it's too late to go back now.
Doing something similar, except I'm starting at the very beginning of 97 (I wanted to get the start of DX/Attitude at least). But yeah, it's a chore, as much as I love watching it, lately I have just not had the ambition to.

Anyone got some thoughts on the Great American Bash of 05' ? I don't think I have ever seen it and if I hear nice things about it I might go and see it, download it. Rey/Eddie, Booker/Christian and MnM/LoD (new version with Heidenreich) look the most interesting. I assume Batista/JBL is just going to be a slugfest, a brawl, I mean how good could their chemistry possibly be?

Booker and Christian was good (way better than their snorefest matches in 2003) and I thoroughly enjoyed Hassan kicking the shit out of Hassan. Didn't care for Guerrero Vs. Mysterio again. The rest of the show sucked ass.

GAB 05 was crap, bar Eddie/Rey which is my favourite match of there 05 PPV series.

What do you all think of Cena/JBL I Quit match? I thought it a great match, ****1/4 and if only they had that match at WM it would of made Cena look tons better than there awfully boring match at WM 21. Cena's entrance in this match was WM worthy, he gave a great underdog performance and actually got a lot of offence in which people normally complain about him not doing enough.

What is it exactly that annoys you about it? Is it the fact that he won and then went to RAW? Surely it would've been more stupid to have him lose the title straight away. They wanted him on RAW because it's their number one show and they wanted him as the face of the company. Also him saying "I quit" would've completely gone against his character.
