Survivor Series was a good show, nothing great, nothing especially memorable, but as a stand alone show, it was pretty good.
Team Miz d Team Morrison - Miz, Sheamus, McIntyre survived. I think all five heels should have survived, but this was the right move. It looks like Sheamusis ahead of Swagger in the pecking order now. It must be nice having HHH as a friend. Ziggler really seems to be in the dog house.
Batista d Rey Mysterio Jr. - This was supposed to be a heel angle where Batista wouldn't stop destroying a helpless Rey, but they forgot to factor in theywere in Dave's home town. The fans went as far as to chant 'One More Time' after Batista hit a spinebuster on a steel chair. It looks like thisfeud is over and Mysterio is going for his surgery now.
Team Kofi d Team Orton - Kofi survived. The match was somewhat dead in the early part, but picked up at the end. They are pushing the fact that Kofi defeatedtwo previous heavyweight champions in a matter of about 6 seconds. Kofi was booked correctly here.
The Undertaker d Chris Jericho and The Big Show to retain the World Championship - The match was fine. Another match that really didn't pick up until thefinal sequence. The Undertaker retained. As I said last night, I don't know how The Undertaker is going to take part in a TLC match.
Team Mickie d Team McCool - Mickie and Melina survived.
John Cena d HHH and Shawn Michaels - To me this was really the only match that had the "big match" feel. Shawn's superkick on HHH to start thematch was great. We'll see what happens with DX tonight. My guess is they'll laugh it off in about 15 seconds and then proceed to shell more crappymerchandise. Cena retained and I have no problem with that. We'll probably be seeing a rematch anyway.
The TLC PPV is only 20 days away. Nothing has been announced for tonight, but all three brands will be involved in tonight's show. They will need to getthe main events established for the PPV. See you guys at 8.
HUGE UPDATE
Jesse Ventura has announced that tonight we will have matches between wrestlers who have never been the heavyweight champion (does ECW count? .. probably not). The winners of these matches will face off in a Breakthrough Battle Royal to end the show. This will determine the #1 Contender for John Cena or TheUndertaker at TLC (both Raw and Smackdown wrestlers are involved).
