Not bad, not amazing

Survivor Series was a good PPV, better than Wrestlemania but not better than SummerSlam. Here's the results.

Ziggler and Morrison put on a great show opener and Ziggler continues to be one of the hardest working superstars in the WWE. Ziggler gets the easy win with the Zig Zag. Afterwards, Ryder comes out to one of the biggest pops of the night and hits Ziggler with a HUGE Rough Ryder. What a crime to keep the man off the PPV card. He better get a US Title shot tonight or at TLC.

Beth hit a Glam Slam on Eve off the top rope and retained the Divas Title. Craziness.

The Barrett Barrage is in FULL EFFECT! What a performance by both teams and especially Barrett and Rhodes. Great Survivor Series match. Sucks to see Sin Cara get injured and that completely ruins any hope for a Cara/Mysterio match at Wrestlemania. Anyway, I was surprised to see Orton by himself facing Hunico, Barrett, and Rhodes. Well, not so much Barrett and Rhodes BUT HUNICO? I would've loved to see Ziggler where Hunico was but whatever. Anyway, fantastic match and an even better ending. Barrett and Rhodes have breakout Survivor Series performances and both have to win World Titles in 2012. Hey, maybe one of them will win the Royal Rumble?

Henry and Big Show have another underwhelming match. Highlight of the match was Show hitting an Elbow on Henry from the top rope. It was a marvel to see, especially at his age. Show gets the DQ win and then crushes Henry's leg just like Henry did to Show at MITB. A perfect opportunity for Daniel Bryan to cash in right? But no, he doesn't! Where does Henry's 'injury' leaves the World Title picture? Will he have to relinquish the World Title and will somehow Barrett or Rhodes take over? Optimistic, but I sure hope so.

CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK! Finally, Punk is the WWE Champion again. A great WWE Title match between the two. I guess WWE just doesn't have faith in Del Rio as champion. Oh well, as long as my boy Punk has the title, I'm fine with it! They're going to tear the roof down at TLC and Punk should be feuding with Awesome Truth or Ziggler around Royal Rumble time, so Punk's WWE title reign could be very epic. Let's not forget about Cena. Punk/Cena III for the WWE Title would be another great match.

What a predictable main event. Rock and Cena win, Rock hits Cena with a Rock Bottom, everybody overrates Rock performance, blah blah blah. Rock didn't prove ANYTHING last night. He wrestled for 4 minutes in a 21 minutes match. How does that show he still has it? A couple of arm drags and a headlock and everyone is impressed? Then throw me in a ring. Anyway, what should I expect from a PPV that already had Ziggler, Phoenix, Team Barrett, and Henry keeping his World Title? Can't have all the heels winning right? Anyway, the only saving grace is that with Rock winning THIS match, he'll lose at Mania.

Overall, a pretty good PPV. No big surprises or returns, but they used the superstars they had. The best moment of the night was definitely Barrett and Rhodes surviving. The last time a heel Survivor Series group survived like this was Team Miz in 2009 and the survivors were McIntyre, Sheamus, and Miz, you know the rest. Two of the three won World Titles and McIntyre still has a chance if WWE uses him right. Anyway, Barrett and Rhodes WILL win World Title by the end of 2012, mark my words.

I'm going to be missing Raw this week due to work, but my reaction post will be up Wednesday. See you then!
