Too right fella.

What the hell was that ending?!

That was a rubbish PPV

Miz / Truth 'fired' on RAW by HHH

[MrShawnMichaels]

What the hell was that ending?!

It sums up WWE's rubbish hot potato booking. TNA-esque.


Survivor Series teams. Team Rock will be with Cena, Punk and Sheamus v Del Rio, Awesome Truth and another.

Jerry Lawler was taken to the hospital after the show last night with lower back problems after being slammed on the table by Mark Henry. There was a communications snafu as the company had ordered a gimmicked announcers table that would easily break for the spot, but the technical crew forgot to gimmick the table, unbeknownst by Lawler and Henry..

Survivor Series teams are 5 v 5, no?

They should turn Cena heel and for him to lead Nash, Miz, Truth
They need a big hitter to be heel, to lead that faction...

The Muppets are guest hosting at Halloween, I might even watch that

Traditionally, they've been 4 v 4 matches.

They won't turn Cena heel. It makes no long term sense though when he's facing The Rock, he'll be the heel according to the fans anyway. Plus, if he's heel, who's the main face on Raw? Punk? They don't even protect him against a 40 year old, over the hill Triple H. The Cena - Rock feud has weird dynamics in terms of short and long term booking.

I think you'll find your wrong there

Even though i've not watched wrestling for a long time Survivor Series matches were always generally 5 v 5 elimination matches

Yeah, mid to late 80's they were 5 v 5 and then they changed to 4 v 4 in the 90's before reverting to 5 v 5 recently.

[Alex]

So there both right then?

[Gaz]

All I have to go on is a slightly faded memory of wrestling and Wikipedia

"The event is usually characterized by having five on five (or sometimes four on four or six man) tag-team elimination matches."

[Jayesh87]

either way super cena will eliminate the opposing team in 45 secs flat

[MrShawnMichaels]

That's probably right. The best Survivor Series entrance (not necessarily the best Survivor Series, it was quite crap)
