I think my favourite match might have been the mens elimination tag. For some reason I just loved the chaotic nature of it. I don't usually dig those.

I'm with you on that.  And I enjoyed that when Strowman showed up he just destroyed them.  The Flair match was well done.  It was more entertaining then normal.

I didn't really care for that match. Actually pretty much all the survivor series elimination matches weren't that good.  The single matches were better, IMO.  Murphy/Ali was fantastic and Shinsuke/Rollins was solid also.  Bryan/Lesnar was better than i thought. Flair/Rousey was decent except for the ending.

Speaking of Strowman, he's gonna be out for awhile. Going in for surgery on his arm/elbow.

Flair/ Rousey had short notice and did a great job.

My one problem (which I've come to expect all the time now), was that my fellow Irishman Finn Bálor was eliminated pretty quickly by Rey Mysterio.

Why not make Starrcade what is was? Make it the December ppv

I guess cause they have TLC.

Glad to see Bray Wyatt back.

ConorKavanagh

I was beginning to get hopeful during the closing segment of Raw that Bray Wyatt would come to rescue Finn Bálor, avenging what they did to his brother Braun Strowman. When there's wide open spaces in the storytelling it's hard not to start fantasy booking. Did anyone watch Starrcade?

Completely agree about the Bryan/ Lesnar match.

Could have sworn Bray was gonna return, WWE/McMahon dropped the ball on that one. Could have saved RAW which was one of the worst ones this year.

ConorKavanagh

Yeah SmackDown's been blowing it out of the water.

RIP Dynamite Kid

ConorKavanagh

Such an amazing wrestler that inspired so many who came after him, most notably Chris Benoit. I believe Daniel Bryan took a lot from him as well.

R.I.P. Larry "The Axe" Hennig

ConorKavanagh

I can't say I ever saw much of his work, but he must have done something right if you look at the bloodline. I remember him cameoing with Curtis.

Hope Big Cass is ok (suffered a seizure last night at a wrestling event)

ConorKavanagh

The video footage is shocking of this incident. I know I watched it, but as I watched it I was thinking, whoever filmed this should be ashamed, truly.

i didn't watch it and don't really want to now

ConorKavanagh

I know that it sounds like a major contradiction for me to have an issue with it. But I know I'm a dick for looking at it. Still, the prick who filmed...damn.

Finally they give Asuka the title. I thought they were going to bury her.

ConorKavanagh

I think the word burial gets misused frequently amongst wrestling fans. A burial would be something akin to the last years of JTG's run with WWE.

eeriepadave

Wonder what Vince is gonna do tonight?

yea but it looked like they were heading that way from where she started.

ConorKavanagh

I never think someone is buried if they're appearing on T.V. WWE have an attitude that they can heat someone up overnight, which they did Sunday.

R.I.P. Mean Gene

HughFreakingDillon

another 80's icon gone. he was the best the business ever saw. 

ConorKavanagh

I loved the promos that he did with The Iron Sheik. How he kept a straight face with so many guys just going off the deep end with him was amazing.
