With proper planning, we could have had:
Match One CHRISTIAN SHOWALITION Big Show Christian Dolph Ziggler Mark Henry John Cena
vs.
BEST 5 BUSINESS Randy Orton Dean Ambrose Seth Rollins Roman Reigns Alberto Del Rio
Match Two CONTROLLED FRIENDSIES CM Punk Daniel Bryan Kane The Miz Kofi Kingston
vs.
HEYMAN'S BRAYMEN Ryback Curtis Axel Bray Wyatt Luke Harper Erick Rowan
Match 3 THE RHODES WARRIORS Cody Rhodes Dustin Rhodes Matador Diego Matador Fernando El Torito
vs.
THE AMERICAN SCHOLASTIC ASSOCIATION Damien Sandow Big E Langston Antonio Cesaro Jack Swagger Zeb Coulter
Match 4 USO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Jimmy Uso Jey Uso Brodus Clay Sweet T R Truth
THREE MAN BAND TIMES ONE MINUS ONE (PLUS THREE) Fandango Heath Slater Jinder Mahal Drew McIntyre Titus O'Neil Darren Young
Notes: -Christian returns a month or two ago and resumes his feud with The Shield and Ambrose over the US title
-Kane turns on the Controlled Friendsies and reveals that he is under the control of the Wyatts and The Devil, who is Paul Heyman
-Miz probably also turns but no one cares
-The last match is a billed as an untraditional Five on Six Survivor Series match because I forgot about Fandango until the last second but had already come up with the team names
Oh, damn, every time Kofi's on a Survivor Series team now, I want them to be called the Controlled Friendsies. Classic.
I forgot to mention that 3MB coming out as the Union Jacks in an attempt to get cheap face heat was hysterical on Monday night. Especially since they came out second, giving you just enough time to go, "Huh. Well, normally in these Los Matadores/3MB matches, 3MB is already out there, so... wait, new team? OH, HAHAHAHA!"
That was my laugh-out-loud moment of the night. (Although I still think McIntyre as a comedy act is a waste of talent).

That ending was so great on RAW and actually set up a match I wanted to see, and then it was all to build a 2-on-2 tag match? Hopefully, this is a smaller build to an expanded match. I'd even settle on Bryan/Punk vs Shield vs Wyatts.
THREE MAN BAND TIMES ONE MINUS ONE (PLUS THREE) needs to happen.
I was pretty amazed at all of the wrestling last night. HHH should extend his vacation.
Was that the blowoff to Punk/Heyman we saw last night?
Also, I was really disappointed that they put the announce table back together so quickly. But, it's still cool that they use those small old school TV monitors.

Gasp. Have a word with yourself.
I shall create a Total Divas thread. That show means a great deal to me. It's so good that they're even correcting Raw by booking the missing Daniel Bryan world title reign through judicious editing.
Originally posted by Al B. SureActually WWE just announced Daniel Bryan & CM Punk vs. Harper & Rowan, so maybe we're not getting any elimination matches.
boooooooooo. the new highlight of Raw was the swagger move of running Matadors vs. 3MB once more under an assumed identity.

Customarily I like to name my Kofi-led teams "Kofi's Choices," my Orton-led teams "Randy's Dandies."

She did on Smackdown. During a Miz TV, I think?

She can wish me #BoyBye but she'd probably try to drag me out of my car and murder me instead.

There's really no one more qualified. You're the Brie to my Nikki.
Originally posted by JustinShapiroAJ'S CRAZIES AJ, Tamina, Layla, Aksana, and Kaitlyn (gasp) (w/ Alicia Fox)
I think if AJ had a team it would be AJ'S AVENGERS. Because she may not be able to save the women's division from the Total Divas, but she can damn sure avenge it.
AJ= Captain America (alternately Spider-Woman or Scarlet Witch) Tamina= She-Hulk Aksana= Black Widow Layla= Ms Marvel Rosa= Invisible Woman (because you never see her)
So have the low holiday weekend/pre-tape from Europe ratings come out yet for WWE to recognize that no Authority on Raw is not What's Best for Business (TM)?

Raw was a 2.73, fewest viewers since 10/07. (PWTorch)
Team B+ Daniel Bryan, RVD, Edge & Chris Jericho vs. The Authority Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Kane, The Shield & Stephanie McMahon (This, of course, HAS TO BE a handicap match)
The Heyman Guys Paul Heyman & 3 Knights vs. Punks & Bullies CM Punk, Ryback, Curtis Axel & ... Cold Banana (Vince finally agreed to sign Punk's best buddy, but only if he could choose a gimmick for him, to "make him a star")
We The People Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro, Damian Sandow & Alberto Del Rio vs. The Foreign Fanatics Los Matadores & The Usos
The Rhodes Family Dusty, Cody, Goldust & Marlena vs. The Wyatt Family Bray, Harper, Luke & Sister Abigail
Team Worst Survivor Series Team Ever Big Show, Santino, Hornswoggle & Great Khali vs. Brrrrrock Lesnar
Big Show already had "Team Worst Survivor Series Team Ever"! At the aforementioned 1999 show, his team mates against Bossman, Mideon, Viscera and Prince Albert were the Blue Meanie and KaiEnTai. But he attacked them in a fit of rage and then ran through "Team OTHER Worst Survivor Series Team Ever" singlehandedly.

This reminds me of Big Show's staggering legacy as "Mr. Survivor Series (Huh?)."
1999 - goes from out of shape, multiply-turned flop to surprise main event replacement and world champion 2001 - goes from out of shape, multiply-turned fat camp exile to surprise main event replacement 2002 - goes from out of shape, multiply-turned Raw jobber to surprise main event replacement and world champion
Then a lull, with some slight success in a team environment.
2003 - last eliminated 2004 - SURVIVOR 2005 - main event team member 2006 - last eliminated 2008 - wrestled Undertaker
And then the career renaissance as the November contender.
2009 - world title match 2010 - SURVIVOR 2011 - world title match 2012 - world title match 2013 - world title match

This is amazing. He also had a bit of November success in WCW, winning the World War 3 battle royal in 1996.

What's galling about this particular year is that Show legit injured Lesnar at a house show to the point that Brock got put on the shelf. And because this company wrote themselves into a corner, Show got "punished" with a world title run. Unbelievable.

Didn't Brock end up being far less injured than original suspected and only miss like a week?
He was well enough to F5 Show four weeks later and cost him the title at Armageddon. I think the rib injury was a convenient excuse for them to get the "undefeated" monkey off of Brock's back and turn him face.

Let's not forget that, in the new sliding timescale of the WWE Universe, Big Show got the win in the main event of the first Survivor Series by pinning Bam Bam Bigelow Let's Say Vader and, two years later, led The Heenan Family against Shawn Michaels' Ultimate Warriors in another main event.
