    so are we getting any 5 v 5 matches?

    i thought there was talk of a anti-wwe team led by lauranitis (truth,miz,del rio etc) going up against something like cena, punk, hhh, seamus, rock?

    I reckon we'll get Sheamus, Orton, Kofi, Ryan & Kane maybe (would of been Bourne) vs Ziggler, Swagger, Christian, Rhodes & Brodus Clay maybe.

    I think we might see Team Sheamus V Team Christian

    Looks like Punk V Del Rio for the WWE title also happening

    is it just me, or does The Rock look a bit like Goldberg in that photo?

    Whatever way I saw it, I thought that was Chavo instead of Hunico:o

    The way I see it your Boy Wade is going down. While my man Kofi is going to win!

    All Jokes aside. Team Orton could just be him and he would probably win.

    Ha the same , i was like why would they put him in a match


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,008 ✭✭✭kksaints


    Any chance that the 5 on 5 match will end 5-0 in team Orton favour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    How inferior does Wade's team look compared to ortons? They dont even take up the width of the graphic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,020 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Sheamus and Christian should be team leaders or captains :mad:

    Dolph Ziggler is replacing Christian on Team Barrett so no US, Tag or IC title matches at SS

    I'd say so. Being one of the WWE's main four, giving this away on Sky Sports would be a weird move, especially with the Rock main-eventing.

    Sky Box Office. Saw the ad last night. €22!

    Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero cut a promo. It’s revealed that Ziggler will defend the U.S. title this Sunday at Survivor Series against Zack Ryder in addition to wrestling on Team Barrett.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,206 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Dolph will defend against the not so over Jo Mo on Sunday not Ryder.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked

    Maybe scott stanfords Evil twin brother.. (:rolleyes:) will take JoMo out before the match, leaving only one other competitor for the title...

    How long has JoMo left on his contract?

    My dream booking for US title match would be a triple threat match with Ryders dad interfering to make Morrison win (#manhattanscrewjob) followed by Ryder winning the title off him on the next ppv with a stip that jomo leaves wwe.

    Yes I wondering too if JoMo had signed a new contract with WWE

    I'm disappointed by the lack of traditional SS matches and double duty again this PPV for Ziggler yet no match for Bryan :(


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,577 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    WWE announced Thursday that the Divas Championship Match between Beth Phoenix and Eve at Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view will be a Lumberjill Match.

    WWE explains: “The Divas Championship Match at Survivor Series should be a one-on-one affair. However, nothing in this rivalry has been evenly contested, thanks to the underhanded tactics of The Glamazon and Natalya. Now, the decks will be stacked a little more equally, as Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Natalya and the rest of the WWE Divas will be ringside to make sure the action stays in the ring.”

    i wanna see a nattie and beth feud

    I should be much more excited for this show considering it's Rock's first match back.

    Hmmm..... I am not actually that excited about Rocks return.

    I think its because I don't find the Miz even slightly interesting!

    Maybe something will click in the next 24 hours... probably not though; WWE have done a fine job trying to quell interest in Rock's return to the ring. This should be bloody massive! Maybe it's cause Rock's promo before he returned was poor; the storyline for him getting back into the ring was poor, and the opposition have been jobbed out pretty bad. :(

    Booking wrestling isn't hard, but when there's 15 voices and a crazy old man on top, maybe it's actually ridiculously hard.

    Surely at least put your top 5 heels vs Rock/Cena + 3 jobbers? It's the Grand Finale Survivors' Survivor Series match all over again :pac::pac:

    Usually when WWE put on a PPV in MSG they have a great card. Some of my favourite PPVs were at MSG (WM X, RR 2000, SS 2002 etc)

    Not excited about this at all really.

    I cant see a new york crowd giving a great reaction to the Henry Vs Big show match.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7

    Now you mention it I wondered why Bryan was inserted into the mix the last few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised to see him out there to make it more interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    They've just done such a horrendous job booking it that they've sucked all the specialness and appeal out of it. It's still Rock wrestling so it'll probably still do decent and above average numbers but they've done their very best for that not to be the case.

    Yeah some of the booking the last few weeks has been brutal. Its like they said "**** it The Rock will get us a big buy rate so who cares about good storylines".

    Ive actually enjoyed Smackdown the last few week but Raw has been terrible.

    I think having so many PPVs in the last few months has not helped either. It makes it more difficult to plan with some sort of medium term outcome in mind. The need for some sort peak every 2 or 3 weeks at PPVs for a while hindered the big stories IMO.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Agree fully. The short time between the PPVs just isn't giving them enough time to actually build much of a meaningful storyline, and something that could be a good story gets a bit stale if the wrestlers face each other on a PPV 3 weeks after their last one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I would really love punk to walk out with the title tonight, but i can see a lot more appeal of having him battle and win a ladder or tlc match next month.

    That's a cop out of an excuse, medium term planning and a moderate amount of booking restraint would negate that problem.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,788 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    For me, the best story going forth comes from Cena screwing Rock and allowing Miz to pin him. This means...
    • Cena gets revenge for the Mania screwing and it mirrors the Mania main event
    • Rock has genuine reason to have problems with Cena, having cost him his first match back
    • Miz and Truth both get the upset and get loads of material to cut promos on for months, also setting Miz up as a challanger for Punk's title in the future.

    Of course, it's more likely that Cena and Rock beat them clean and then proceed to make out in the middle of the ring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭deafroadrunner


    any streams for it later im not payin 22 euro and i only want to see the rock cena miz and truth match


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked

    Genuine LOL.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,957 ✭✭✭The Volt


    Would love to see Miz get a pinfall over Rock. He's grown on me a lot since he dropped the title. I think he's not far off being a big name now.

    Sorry Walt, I've been converted :pac:


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,577 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Will wwe let Rock lost though? Since i presume Cena will win at WM cant see him getting pinned twice .
    They will prob go with the usual both men showing off what they can do , followed by Miz or Truth throwing them into each other to get them annoyed etc then Rock will hit Cena with the Rock Bottom allowing Miz/Truth get the win.
    Realistically Miz/Truth need to win to make them look strong


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    then Rock will hit Cena with the Rock Bottom allowing Miz/Truth get the win.
    Realistically Miz/Truth need to win to make them look strong

    I would agree, however that is dangerously close to the finish of the WM main event.
