Movie Reviews of WWE Survivor Series 2006
Movie Review: Doesn't Deserve A Review Title
Summary: 1 Stars
I happened to see that SURVIVOR SERIES 2006 (the 20th in the respectable WWE PPV series) has received a ****1/2 average on Amazon. As much as I respect people's rights to their own opinions, I respect mine even more. Somebody's gotta set this record straight, and I feel like getting my hands dirty for the job!
WARNING - I will reveal spoilers, because I don't wish for anybody to endure this dump!
1) Survivor Series Elimination Match
The Spirit Squad v.
Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Sgt. Slaughter, Ron Simmons, & Ric Flair
---Can we be honest with ourselves for a moment? How many of these 10 men could deliver quality matches back in November 2006? I'd say three at most, and neither of them did anything good tonight. Can't figure out which "three" I'm talking about? Guess what, after this dreadful opener, I can't either. The eliminations were as quick and weak as I've ever seen, including one where I don't know if Arn Anderson was counted out, disqualified, or just ejected from ringside. This crowd-killing opener was an awful way to kick off the show!
"3.0 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
2) United States Championship
Chavo Guerrero v. Chris Benoit (champion)
---Easily the best match on the card, but sadly not as great as it deserved to be. Chavo and Benoit were doing excellent ringwork, and on the verge of creating a strong contest. But they were cut short because of an 8-minute length. If given more time, we could've witnessed a classic. But the final product will disappoint fans of long technical displays.
"6.5 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
3) Women's Championship
Lita (champion) v. Mickie James
---Fans hoping for an emotional ride that Trish Stratus' retirement delivered will be disappointed. The Philadelphia fans are tough on Lita, right or wrong. The chemistry between the two Divas is off, thus creating a poor contest. And then Cryme Time comes out afterwards to auction off Lita's personal belongings, with some sexual jokes thrown in. Could Amy Dumas ("Lita") have picked a worse presentation to leave WWE on? The PPV was on the brink of a boring meltdown, the match was a lackluster performance from both ladies, the aftermath was embarassing and painfully unfunny, and Lita's legacy is sadly tarnished by the Adam Copeland & Matt Hardy love triangle.
"4.5 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
4) Survivor Series Elimination Match
Jeff Hardy (Intercontinental champion), Matt Hardy, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, & Triple H v.
Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms (Cruiserweight champion), Mike Knox, Randy Orton (World Tag Team champion), & Edge (World Tag Team champion)
---Let's pause for a moment. Look at all of that talent involved! I've even taken the time to list which superstars were champions, and have typed in each wrestler's name (rather than just typing Tag Team combinations). Doesn't this look like a masterpiece waiting to happen? Before I trash this match, let me say that it's never boring, and the crowd was absolutely wild for it! But can somebody tell me why Orton's team got squashed!? Why would I want to see a marquee match develop into an 11-minute shutout!? This makes no sense at all, and leaves a horrid taste in my mouth! I'll be generous with the score, because I was entertained from start to finish, but my memory's starting to get its revenge!
"6.0 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
5) First Blood Match
Mr. Kennedy v. The Undertaker
---As if their NO MERCY encounter wasn't bad enough, these two did even worse this time around. I don't think I'm unreasonable when I expect Taker to be involved in something stellar when SURVIVOR SERIES rolls around, because it was his TV debut back in 1990. Things actually started off okay, as Kennedy used his wits and cunning to survive the ordeal. He quickly used sensible strategy and creative cheating to avoid losing. But the grudge match was way too short, and the finish yet another anticlimax (quite the norm for the evening). This First Blood Match was so poor that even Taker's postmatch beatdown was botched.
"5.0 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
6) Survivor Series Elimination Match
Big Show (ECW World champion), Finlay, M.V.P., Test, & Umaga v.
Kane, Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Bobby Lashley, & John Cena (WWE champion)
---Well, what can I say? This was another rushed Elimination-style match, with pinfalls coming so quick that WWE must've been daring fans not to blink their eyelids. There were honestly 5 superstars gone in less than 3 minutes. Friends, I'm not creative enough to make that factoid up! I'll close by saying that this "marquee match" was a pointless mish-mash of tri-brand talent, in which every participant came out a loser in my eyes.
"4.5 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
7) World Heavyweight Championship
King Booker (champion - Loses Title If Disqualified)
v. Batista (Last Chance At The Title)
---Just look at the descriptions of the wrestlers; now take a guess at who wins. We fans are strong enough to swallow some predictable outcomes from time to time, but can any of these 5-star voters tell me how they were strong enough to endure this ungodly borefest of a main event? I love Booker, and Batista's has become a wresler I enjoy watching. When I watch these two work together, I feel like an idiot. The main event is a slow, plodding affair. The crowd barely made any reaction prior to the pinfall, and seemed unenthused by the victor's postmatch celebration. You know what, never mind my criticisms...just listen to the Wachovia Centre's deafening silence!
"3.0 / 10"
------------------------------------------------------------
This was 2006's absolute worst PPV! That's right, I would rather watch the 2006 GREAT AMERICAN BASH, or ECW's DECEMBER TO DISMEMBER. This was that bad. Every single match was a weak display. Let's recap, shall we?:
* We have an opener with old legends and teenage cheerleaaders.
* The best match of the night got reduced to 10 minutes, tops.
* Lita's last match was a failure on every level of creative composition.
* A star-studded 10-Man Elimination Match was a shocking wipeout.
* The "bloodiest" match of the night was predictable and not very bloody.
* Another 10-Man Match, led by two brands' champions, was empty physicality.
* The crowning of a new champion was only less impressive than David Arquette's WCW Title victory.
The bonus features include a Survivor Series Match from 1987 (which isn't too bad), Lita's bitter postmatch interview (which might've been in character), and the premiere episode of the "Mr. [...]-Mahon" online cartoon. All in all, nothing special, which has been the WWE PPV DVD norm for the past few years.
I'd rather get kicked in my man-region than endure this crap again! There is not one single redeeming quality on this PPV. If you enjoy this PPV, then I'm happy for you. But I don't give out 1-star reviews for the WWE often, and I hope I just saved somebody some money.
