John from Cincinnati Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The 2005 Raw vs SmackDown match produced some sub-heel-Cole commentator bickering. If they hope to top that performance this year, JBL and Byron will need to bring their A-games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Tazz ripping on Coach and Lawler in 05 was hilarious. The way he shit on Chris Masters' intro was great too. Lawler was doing his usual "Shhhh" stuff, then Tazz went into full ramblin' Tazz mode talking about he didn't give a damn about some guy kneeling in a cape or something like that. I don't know if they can live up to that, but Corey trashing JBL could be funny if they let it go unscripted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I figured out a way to make the brand supremacy matches interesting. The GMs of the brand that loses the most matches have to wear a "get along" shirt for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I said it last night but it is obvious they didn't think Becky Lynch was going to be ready for Survivor Series as it makes no sense for the women's champ to not be captain when RAW has their champion as captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 After the last few weeks, I think the crowd reaction for Goldberg/Lesnar will be fine. I expect both guys to get a split reaction but the heat should be fine. Also, this is a one-match show and that's gonna close it out. This isn't 2004 where fans know both guys won't be around the next day and are impatient to see a longtime favorite win the belt in the main event.

JonnyLaw Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Who else is left on Raw's women's side? Sasha, Dana, and a returning Emma? (If Raw doesn't have to remember Alicia and Summer, neither do I.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It seems like they are purposely keeping Sasha away so Emma is a good bet and then I guess Dana Though I could seem them going the "Charlotte begrudgingly puts Sasha on the team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm guessing the spot would have originally gone to Paige, but... you know. It's 90% going to be Sasha, but the other options are Alicia Fox & Summer Rae. And only Fox has been seen on TV in the last 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Im disappointed we won't be getting Jericho V Owens in Canada but one of them turning on the other could blow the roof off the place and set up one of the mains for the Rumble maybe??

Go2Sleep Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is gonna be a weird 4-hour show. The tags are gonna all have to be 45+ minutes, which doesn't sound very appealing. Lesnar/Goldberg won't last too long, and there's not much else left to fill out the show if all the champs are in the tags. You could do a CW title match, I guess. Even if you stretch Lesnar/Goldberg to 30 minutes (with some long intros) and give Kendrick/Swann 15, that's still over 3 hours that need to be filled by the elimination matches.

I'm kind of drinking the kool-aid on this one. Super long elimination matches sound like a ton of fun. I had been against the Raw vs Smackdown thing at first, but so many people have been called up or put into new positions (like Rhyno/Slater) since the draft that watching some of these people interact will be fresh. Even Charlotte/Nia interaction hasn't happened much yet or Braun and his partners. That's what made the 80s Survivor Series matches so fun. WWF was entirely regimented back then, with set house show programs that lasted months and months and very little interaction between heels and faces not in those programs on TV. There's a bit of that here, even if only a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disappointed, but surprised. For the SD men's team, it will probably be AJ, Ambrose, Ziggler, Bray, Luke Harper. As for the tag team elimination, I think it will look like this: Rhyno/Slater, Hype Bros, American Alpha, Usos, Vaudevillains vs. New Day, Anderson/Gallows, Enzo/Cass, Cesaro/Sheamus, Shining Stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Bray/Harper being on SD and Braun Strowman being on RAW sets up an interesting spot in the match. As does Rollins/Reigns on RAW and Ambrose on SD. Could be fun bits in the match if booked properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The thing I'm more annoyed about is that for 3 months, we're on YAY BRAND! while teaming up people in blood fueds with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I think Smackdown will counter Strowman with Kane and we will be supposed to take it as a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, I was thinking Corbin may take the Kane spot. RAW: Reigns/KO/Jericho/Strowman/Rollins SDL: Styles/Ambrose/Wyatt/Ziggler/Corbin Zigs and Baron on the SDL team sets up Round 2 of that feud, but Corbin gets to demolish Dolph for the IC title.

Eivion Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm honestly hoping Bray isn't at all. Or if he does both he and Braun abandoned their teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the smart choice, which is why I'm thinking what happens instead is Roman is the last guy on the Raw side and pins Ziggler, Ambrose, and AJ in quick succession to be Raw's sole survivor.

Dewar Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I don't have an issue with Roman pinning Ziggles and Ambrose. After he did it though, I let AJ punt him in the nuts and steal a cheap win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
