Survivor Series 2008

I am not gonna talk about Survivor Series, I just wanna share my thought of the matches.

Team HBK beats team JLB. For those uninitiated, HBK stands for Heart Break Kid (Shawn Micheals). I cannot believe that they try to put the Great Khali as a babyface. They tried to make him a monster before but got the chant "You can't wrestle" and "boring".

In case you are wondering, he is the tallest/biggest guy there and have limited wrestling move. His move are limited to hitting someone on the head and a nerve grip which he holds someone's neck. In the end its team HBK that won with HBK, Mysterio and Khali surviving. And Mysterio is still underused even with all his abilities =.= (he's the one with the mask ok).

Raw Diva vs Smackdown Diva. Huh, who won the match? I was preoccupied and did not really pay attention to the match wahahaha. But Natalie Neidheart (Natalya) was good. In case you are wondering, she is the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidheart.


Undertaker vs Big ShowCasket Match. The point of this match is to put your opponent in a casket and close it. How many times they wanna put Big Show vs Undertaker. I still remember the match from Wrestlemania 2002. Zzzzzzzzz. Undertaker won.

Team Randy Orton vs Team Batista. Simply the best match of the series. Both Orton and Batista are fighting for the position on the contender for the heavyweight championship belt. The match went back and forth until it was 4 on 1 where Batista is the only one left in his team. A normal script would have Batista "power up" and beat 4 persons but luckily the script writer did not do that. And they did not also make the script where Randy Orton won by cheating. I would say the ending is creative.

The ending was Batista was beating up Cody Rhodes at the ropes and was about to powerbomb him. Orton made a fast tag to Cody without Batista noticing. Cody was powerbombed but the ref did not make the official count as Randy was the legal man. Batista got up and got RKO-ed as he
got up and turned behind.

HHH vs Vladimir Kozlov vs Jeff Hardy (injured in storyline before the match). WWE is not UFC so do not make your wrestler Kozlov like UFC fighter. Zzzzzz, until Edge came out as the 3rd opponent. Edge is one of the best "bad guy" around and the fans hate him like hell. On a personal note, he wrote a book Adam Copeland On Edge. Adam Copeland is his real name. I read the book and its quite good.

Anyway Edge won, and I hope they don't start that storyline with the Undertaker again =.=

John Cena defeated Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship. A lot of people dislike Cena for his "lack of wrestling ability" but remember Hulk Hogan with his "power ups" and legdrop finisher?. This guy can do better than that ok.
