Disturbing yet enthralling

A Brilliant Conflict

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

1st Match: Rey Mysterio vs Spike Dudley vs Billy Kidman vs Chavo Guerrero, Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. A very hot start to the show, remember my rule of thumb, starting a PPV with Rey Mysterio is a guaranteed win. Really unique spots and an energetic crowd, what a good way to start the show. Rating: 3.5/5 2nd Match: Shelton Benjamin vs Christian, Intercontinental Championship. This match starts off kind of slow, but definitely picks up towards the end with some really close near falls. While the match starts slow though, it did manage to hold my interest and not bore me to death. A well done match, if only for the second half. Rating: 3/5 3rd Match: Team Angle vs Team Guerrero, Survivor Series Elimination match. Pretty much a glorified squash match. Carlito's involvement in this match is less than nothing, as he was just there to get chased off by Cena. While I normally don't like squash matches, any match where a heel Kurt Angle gets beat up, is a good match. Rating: 4/5 4th Match: The Undertaker vs Heidenreich. Probably 3 minutes longer than it needed to be, but watching Taker is always fun. Weird how they were trying to get so many powerhouses over in 2004 due to Lesnar leaving, huh. I mean, Heidenreich is OK in this, but it's really just Taker beating him for 15 minutes. Not a bad match, once again it held my interest, it's just a little too long. Rating: 3/5 5th Match: Trish Stratus vs Lita, WWE Women's Championship. The pre-match video is longer than the actual match because Lita gets DQ'd within 2 minutes. Trish gets her nose busted and it pretty much just serves as a way to elevate their feud. If I wanted to enjoy watching two women for a couple minutes, I'd just watch Skin-a-max. But hey, it's way better than Charlotte and Natalya's match from Extreme Rules this year. Rating: 2.5/5 6th Match: JBL vs Booker T, WWE Championship. Well, more realistically JBL and Orlando Jordan vs Booker T. Jordan in this is like an annoying mosquito that keeps killing Booker's attempts to win, and yet gets away with it. I know, I know, what else is new, but it goes to ridiculous levels in this. At least it turns into a decent brawl when the ref gets knocked down, but other than that, it's just Booker getting trolled for 15 minutes. It's watchable, but just barely for me. Rating: 2.5/5 7th Match: Team Orton vs Team HHH, Survivor Series Elimination match. Compared to RAW's elimination match from the previous year, this is nothing. However, on it's own it manages to be pretty entertaining. There's some comedy moments, all out chaos, the crowd's really into it, and the good guys win. A feel good ending to the show. Also, Snitsky gets a literal chunk taken out of his eyebrow, but I have no idea what caused it, odd. Rating: 3.5/5 Final Rating: 6 out of 10. An OK PPV that's easy to sit through. It may not be the greatest PPV of the year, but it's way better than Taboo Tuesday from the previous month. I'd pick this any day over that.R.I.P. Chris Benoit&R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero

Best thing about this Is the brilliant manga type artwork, the action Isn't a patch on the 2 previous SS. Cruiserweight 4 -way: Not typical frantic, air mile collecting stuff but some good spots from some talented guys. IC Championship: Christian apparently debuting his Intro In the match of the night. Selling Shelton's Impressive offence CC acts the consummate heel - If cheating won't win then surely abusing your opponent Into submission will, "flash In the pan" slap head! The wrestlings top notch too Shelton hits his finisher flawlessly, pulls out a great assisted slingshot suplex whilst Christian nails a vicious looking DDT, both combine well with many near falls & an exciting climax. S'down SS tag: The gubbins at the start leave poor Kurt even more handicapped than he was already, Eddie gets pummeled for what seems like an eternity, Big Show manages what appears to be a front roll and despite everything revolving around Cena I don't think he's tagged In once. One very funny bit when Angle's walkout Is foiled backing back towards the ring he fails to notice a man mountain waiting. Great comedy acting pleading for mercy before swinging for him cue multiple finishers and a feelgood end to a largely poor match.Taker/Heidenreich: Greco/Romano technicality It Isn't but this could have been a whole lot worse especially considering how long It went. I like Tazz & Cole on play by play but when they have to roll with a story......."Maybe Heidenreich CANT be beaten" you sure about that? a particularly weak Last ride won't put anyone over as Invincible. Womens championship: Surely this could have been done backstage. Trish being Interviewed Intimating fat gestures, Lita runs In goes sick job done. Even better would be Snitsky still loitering.... a huge Improvement on Lita hitting a chairshot to the side of a table and Trish messing her hair up In a complete waste of time. WWE Title: For some reason my DVD skips large parts of this match - probably one long sleeper hold just after Booker clears House on the outside, It resumes predictably with JBL well on top and a virtually asleep arena. Some decent "who me?" Inteference from the chief of staff repeatedly killing Booker's momentum at crucial points and boy Is old 5 timer not feeling It here.Raw SS Tag match: For a main event this Is weak, compared with the classic Austin match from the previous year lame. The bickering on Triple H's team is quite amusing but that and the prospect of an HHH/Orton finale should have been left for Monday nights. Benoit Is excellent as always before being cheapshotted out, Snitsky nearly breaks a chair In half some other stuff happens then the RKO to a high pitched shrill. Orton's rubbish music hits to wrap up the show and I couldn't have cared less. Overall nothing worth remembering or rewatching except for the very good Intercontinental match, the bonus match featuring Cena/Carlito fueding over the US title Is fun for nostalgia value - bring back the wordlife Intro. Hey who'd have thought the electric barber chaired one could see Into the future "Carlito doesn't think you're cool - Carlito thinks you're a punk" Ha, how prophetic.

A good survivor series1. Rey Mysterio Vs Billy Kidman Vs Chavo Guerrero Vs Spike Dudley(CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION) fatal 4 way cruiserweight title match7/10 A good match with a few high flying sparks , a very good way to kick off the event.2. Christian vs Shelton Benjamin(IC CHAMP) IC TITLE MATCH7/10 Another good match, these two work well together so the match always has a good pace.the fans are in to it as well.3.Kurt Angle,Carlito,Jindrak,Reigns Vs Eddie Guerrero,John Cena,Big Show,Rob Van Dam5/10 only bright exciting spark was cenas return, match was virtually angle vs the rest after carlito left the arena.jindrak and reigns are just two useless pines.4. Undertaker Vs Heidenreich6.5/10 A decent match you wont get better from these two ill tell you that now, taker carries heidenreich for much of the contest, but a decent first match in what i believe was a decent rivalry5. Lita Vs Trish(WOMENS CHAMP) womens title match2/10 Match never really begins as Lita gets disqualified for using the chair, she beats the crap out of trish and that is pretty much it.6. Booker T Vs JBL(WWE CHAMP) WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH6.5/10 Again a decent match, a few good run ins by jordan and matthews add some suspicion but all in all nothing special , pretty much a fight.7. Chris Jericho,Chris Benoit,Randy Orton,Maven Vs Triple H,Edge,Batista,Snitsky8/10 Best match of the night,a few notes. firstly its clear after tonight maven is nothing , he gets beat up backstage by snitsky then makes a run in during the match,the thing is the fans don't seem to care you hardly hear a cheer on his return, Snitsky I thought was impressive , he had a segment with heidenreich earlier which cracked me up, he had a mini disagreement with triple h during the match which led to him pushing down the game and his chair bashing and evil grins were also tops ..to me snitksy was the performer of the night , the match was great good moves good pace crowd always into it .and a nice end...PS ANOTHER SEGMENT BETWEEN ANGLE AND EUGENE IN WHICH EUGENE TELLS KURT HE SUCKS ....SOUNDS ORDINARY BUT WITH EUGENE NOTHING ORDINARY

I watched all of the 2004 pay-per-views and Survivor Series was the best right on top of SummerSlam. The matches were great (especially the Fatal 4 Way).Match 1: Spike Dudley vs. Billy Kidman vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio. Cruiserweight Championship. Fatal 4 Way.Great match to open the show. Matches like this makes WWE so great. Some incredible stunts. Like when Chavo throws Rey out of the ring and at the same time Rey performs a Seated Senton to Kidman. Chavo is about win but Kidman knocks Chavo out cold with a Springboard Legdrop. Rey then takes out Kidman and himself on the outside and Spike pins Chavo. Cole then says Chavo was robbed of the title, which is extremely wrong.Rating: 5/5 Match 2: Shelton Benjamin vs. Christian. Intercontinental Championship.Shelton is the greatest athlete in the WWE, no doubt about it. There is RVD & Eddie, but they still don't beat Shelton. Christian is great too. Shelton shows some nice moves during the entire match. As usual Tyson Tomko tries to get involved but Shelton fights him off. Shelton wins after a great Exploder Suplex.Rating: 4/5Match 3: Team Angle vs. Team Guerrero. Elimination Match.Team Angle had the likes of Luther Reigns, Kurt Angle, Mark Jindrak & Carlito. A pretty strong team. Eddie Guerrero had built up a team made of RVD, Big Show & John Cena. Pretty strong too. This match looked predictable but it didn't come out the way i expected. Cena chases away Carlito before match. Angle cheats to eliminate RVD, Eddie cheats to eliminate Jindrak and when Angle is out cold Big Show eliminates Reigns with a Chokeslam. Angle is left alone and quickly gets eliminated after an FU from Cena and a Frog Splash from Eddie.Rating: 4/5 Match 4: Heidenreich vs. Undertaker.Two words. Extremely boring. I like Undertaker & Heidenreich but none of them can't really seem to find their way to being good in this match. Undertaker breaks Heidenreich's perfect record cleanly.Rating: 1/5 Match 5: Lita vs. Trish Stratus. Women's ChampionshipHere is an improvement from Taboo Tuesday in the Women's match. It isn't a "School Girl Outfit Battle Royale", like at Taboo Tuesday. This match lasts about two minutes before Lita gets disqualified for breaking Trish's nose with a steel chair. Three weeks later we see another title match where Lita wins. Then we also got to see that Trish apparently didn't break her nose...She gave it surgery! Rating: 3/5Match 6: John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Booker T. WWE Championship.JBL's best title defense since the Cage Match against Eddie Guerrero. As usual the ref is out cold and Orlando Jordan gets involved. Bradshaw wins after hitting Booker with the belt. Highlights: Josh Mathews being Clothesline From Helled, Mathews knocking Jordan out cold outside the ring and Booker going for the Harlem Hangover and the Missile Dropkick.Rating: 4/5 Match 7: Team Orton vs. Triple H. Elimination Match.I had too say that i rooted for Team Orton (Chris Jericho, Maven, Chris Benoit & Randy Orton) even if i don't like Orton & Maven. The reason is that i don't like three of the guys in Team Triple H. That is Edge (the new one), Triple H & Gene Snitsky. Batista is cool. Maven doesn't start in the match because of being manhandled by Snitsky before the match. Eliminations: Benoit by Edge, Gene Snitsky by DQ, Maven (who entered later in the match) by Triple H, Batista by Jericho, Jericho by Edge, Edge by Orton & Triple H by Orton. Team Orton wins and gets to control RAW for a month. Jiipii! Rating: 3/5 Good: Benjamin vs. Christian/The elimination matches/Fatal 4 Way Bad: Undertaker vs. HeidenreichSurvivor Series Rating: 5/5
