3.0 out of 5 stars
WWE Survivor Series 2009,
By
This review is from: WWE: Survivor Series 2009 (DVD)
WWE followed up last year's horrendous Survivor Series with a slightly better effort in 2009. Aside from one horrendous match, the card was mostly fine, but only one match was close to being anything special. Very forgettable show overall, but they did at least try to create some new stars and put over some young talent. The crowd was also dead for most of the night, which really hurt the show in some areas. Matches are rated out of 5 stars (*****).
1. Traditional Survivor Series Match Team Miz (Miz, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, & Jack Swagger) vs. Team Morrison (John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Finlay, & Shelton Benjamin) Decent Opener, but nothing special. It started off pretty hot with Evan Bourne working with Swagger and Ziggler, but once all three were eliminated they almost completely lost the crowd and nothing special happened. It came down to Morrison against McIntyre, Sheamus, and Miz, and he was defeated, so at least WWE threw some weight behind a few of their young and upcoming stars. **1/4 2. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio Very short match. Mysterio started off with his usual flurries of offense but after only a couple minutes Batista took control and utterly decimated him. Crowd, interestingly enough, was almost 100 percent behind Batista as he powerbombed Rey 3 times and won via stoppage. After the match, amidst chants of "one more time," Big Dave gave Rey a spinebuster on a steel chair. *1/2 3. Traditional Survivor Series Match Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, & Christian) vs. Team Orton (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, William Regal, & CM Punk) Good match. It came down to Kingston against Punk and Orton, and Orton stood on the outside for almost 10 minutes as Kingston and Punk wrestled with no crowd heat whatsoever. Kingston then pinned Punk after rolling through a cradle and seconds later hit Trouble in Paradise on Orton for the win, which the crowd actually reacted to. Not a lot of heat until the very end, but it was a good match. **3/4 4. World Heavyweight Championship Match Undertaker (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show First title match of the night, and it was a pretty good match. All things considered I thought these three worked well together and had a better match than I'd imagined. That being said, it didn't exactly steal the show. Good finishing sequences with several near falls broken up by the third man, until Show knocked Jericho out and got caught in the Hell's Gate for the submission. **3/4 5. Traditional Survivor Series Match Team Mickie (Mickie James, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Melina, & Eve Torres) vs. Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Layla, & Alicia Fox) This was just an awful match. Too many missed spots to mention, and there were several times when they almost killed each other with missed moves. It also seemed to go on FOREVER, and I was just begging for it to end. They must have been short on time. Anyway, Mickie and Melina are the survivors after Melina eliminates Michelle McCool. 1/2* 6. WWE Championship Match John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels Best match of the night. Not a great match but very good, only match on the card that came close to being special. HBK superkicked Hunter straight away, and then worked with Cena for a while. Triple H eventually gave shawn a spinebuster through the announcer's table and worked alone with Cena. Then in the last third of the match they had some great triple threat near falls and all three worked together. Cena eventually won, "shockingly," and found himself awash with boos (crowd was against him the whole match, when they were actually making noise). Good match though, probably saved this ppv from being in the 2/5 star range. ***1/2 This was almost a waste of a ppv. The only real commendable thing I can say about it was that they tried to get some young talent over, which they desperately need. Other than that, this was one average match after another with a very good main event. Do not buy this on dvd, if you really have the urge to watch it, rent it, but it really is not worth your money.

Can The Tag Teams Survive The Thirst For The World Titles?,
By
This review is from: WWE: Survivor Series 2009 (DVD)
Elimination Match: John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, Finlay vs. The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger - As the commentators would point out in the commentary, this is the "future of the WWE" in this match with all of those young guns involved. This had some moments I didn't care like the quick eliminations & Shelton Benjamin's time (or lack thereof) in the match but definately had it's share of highlights like Drew McIntyre's piledriver that just spiked Evan Bourne, the always underrated Matt Hardy being the workhorse that the fans know he's capable of being, the referee being a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and John Morrison putting up one hell of a fight in the end. Definately a good way to open the show but it was quite of sight seeing the sole survivors just knowing that within the coming weeks, all of them would win championships.
Right around here was a backstage skit with Kofi Kingston's team where Christian (as usual) was the highlight because he was so "different" than everyone else. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio - It should be noted that eventhough Batista came into this match as a heel for the first time since his Evolution days, he was cheered with this PPV being held in his hometown. Mysterio tried to use his speed here (including trying an old Eddie Guerrero move that the crowd booed) but kept getting caught by Dave who used his power to inflict punishment & just punish Mysterio thoughout the match to the point where it had to be stopped after 3 Batista Bombs. This was one of those "put a storyline over" matches as it heavily established the new Batista as he was more focused on embarrising & hurting Mysterio than just getting a win. Elimination Match: Kofi Kingston, M.V.P., Mark Henry, R-Truth, Christian vs. Randy Orton, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, C.M. Punk, William Regal - Unfortunally, this match didn't begin well as they had a series of quick eliminations but really picked up when the numbers were even at three men per team. The match was good from there but the highlight was definately when Randy Orton decided to sitout for a while & we were treated with a "match inside the match" between the former tag team champions of C.M. Punk & Kofi Kingston that made both men come out strong IMO. In the end, Michael Cole perfectly summerized this match, "A Star Is Born!" World Champion Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show - This was the first of the World Title matches where tag team partners were going against the champion in a triple threat match...but this came off as a triple threat match in name only. Jericho & Show worked as a team throughout a majority of this double teaming Taker until Jericho showed that he was really out for himself by attempting to pin Show at one point & even breaking up his pin on Taker. Taker was able to take advantage of Jericho "poking the bear" in Big Show one too many times with countering the chokeslam into the Hells Gate after Show knocked out Jericho to retain the title. This was better than the Show/Taker match they had the year before but this match was just good but wasn't a standout performance from either man. Elimination Match: Mickie James, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, Melina, Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla, Alicia Fox - Unfortunally this wasn't the quality of the divas match we got the month before as there was various botches & missed spots in this match that was really nothing noteworthy past Beth Phoenix's domination, the Mickie James/Michelle McCool showing along with McCool being a workhorse in this match. This wasn't bad at all unlike previous multi-diva matches but definately a stepdown from the rest of the card. WWE Champion John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H - The second triple threat title match featuring the champion defending against a tag team...however this match was completely different than the previous World Title match. This was truely every man for himself as was shown by what happened right at the opening bell that had everyone from the crowd to the announcers to Cena thinking "What The...Did I Just See That?" This match played out more as a bunch of singles matches in one instead of the usual "3 way dance" formula as there were various moments when one wrestler was taken out of the match leaving the other two to battle it out over the championship. Various moments occured such as Shawn Michaels delievering "Sweet Chin Music" to the point that Triple H got it at least 3 times, Triple H delievering a spinebuster through the announce table, and both members of DX being stacked on each other thanks to the "Attitude Adjustment." The one moments to definately look out in my opinion was this one sequence that started with Cena's STF on HHH going into a HBK crossface on Cena into an attemped "Attitude Adjustment" that morphed into another STF. This was definately a fun match to watch, the match of the night for me, and a great way to end the show. DVD extras include a look at what happened between DX after the match & Christian saying "What's Up!" to the Bella Twins. With the exception of the divas match being the weak link of the card, this was a solid event from top to bottom as not only did we get quality but WWE did a great job in establishing the talent in the elimination matches while pushing storylines & characters (like Batista's heel turn) so this is definately a PPV from 2009 that's worth taking a look at.

Two Triple Threats, Two Tag Teams, who will survive?,
By
This review is from: WWE: Survivor Series 2009 (DVD)
Two triple threat championship matches will test the stability of two tag teams, who will be the sole survivors in two 5 on 5 elimination tag matches, and finally can Rey Mysterio must up enough strength and channel his emotion into beating his former best friend, the animal Batista?Survivor Series Elimination Match, Team Miz: The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre & Sheamus vs. Team Morrison: John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Finlay, Matt Hardy & Shelton Benjamin: Bourne starts out with Swagger, who hits a big suplex and tags Ziggler who nails an impressive half nelson throw and lots of forearm shots but can't keep Evan down. After a tag to Hardy they hit dueling elbows on Dolph, Evan gets the tag, nails Air Bourne and Ziggler is gone, then Drew hits the Future Shock DDT and Evan is gone. Finlay runs in, battles with Drew who tags Sheamus then a big kick and Finlay is gone. Matt is in fights with Sheamus but succumbs to the numbers as Miz locks on a front face lock, Swagger comes in and uses a rear chin lock to wear down Hardy for a minute. Morrison gets the tag and after some good offense hits Starship Pain and Jack is gone, Miz comes in and beats up his former tag partner, Shelton gets the tag and works over Miz hitting an impressive dive from the top rope. Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale and Benjamin is gone, Matt comes in to fight with Drew, misses a moonsault and another Future Shock DDT and Hardy is gone. Its down to Morrison who tries his best and has a good showing but the numbers are too much as Sheamus hits the Celtic Cross and Team Miz survives. 8/10. -Team Raw is backstage discussing their strategy with funny comments from all especially Christian. -Rey Mysterio vs. Batista: After beating Rey up at Bragging Rights and a few other face offs in the previous weeks we have this match where two former best friends fight and the crowd is pro-Batista as this was in his hometown of D.C. Mysterio does hit some quick offense including the 619, then goes for a top rope splash but Batista gets his knee up, then hits a big spear, a spinbuster and three Batista Bombs then the ref stops the match and Batista wins. 5/10. Afterwards the medical staff checks on Rey, Batista runs them off with a chair, then hits a spinebuster on Rey onto it. -Randy Orton is backstage with his team as he runs them down, Punk fires back then Orton says they need to take out their opponents tonight. -Survivor Series Elimination Match, Team Orton: Randy Orton, CM Punk, William Regal, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes vs. Team Kofi: Kofi Kingston, MVP, R-Truth, Mark Henry & Christian: The story here was could Kofi continue his momentum from his attack on Randy is MSG the previous Raw. It starts out as Henry attacks and locks on a bearhug on Randy, his teamates interfere and after an RKO Mark is gone, Truth comes in and battles with Punk but then a sudden GTS and Truth is eliminated. Christian battles with Ted and hits a sunset flip out of the corner and DiBiase is gone. After a tag by Kofi, MVP hits the Drive By on Regal and he gets pinned for three, he tags Christian and Cody locks on a body scissors, Randy then gets in a few shots, Cody comes back in along with MVP and after a Cross Rhodes MVP is gone. After some back and forth action Christian hits the Killswitch on Cody and he is eliminated, Christian and Orton go at it but after a Killswitch Punk distracts him and soon after an RKO to Christian and its down to Kofi on his team. Punk and Kofi fight with Punk trying to beat down the high flyer with a neck and body vice, Kofi blocks a superplex and hits a high crossbody but only for two. Orton distracts Kofi, Punk goes for a roll up but its reverses for three, so Punk is gone, then Randy comes in and gets Trouble in Paradise and he's eliminated. Sole Survivor: Kofi Kingston. 9/10. -Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, The Undertaker (Champion) vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho: After some unexpected double crossing by Jericho to Show on the recent Smackdown we get to see if the tag champs will co-exist long enough to destroy the Deadman or will they simply implode? In the opening minutes they do double team Taker, with both taking some shots from the Deadman when he had an opening. Jericho hits a big superplex, then locks on the Walls, but Show comes in and chokeslams Chris and then a DDT by Taker. Jericho missed with the title belt and uses it to counter the Last Ride, but Taker kicks out then the team breaks down with Show hitting the knockout punch but Taker locks on Hells Gate on Show who taps out. 8/10. Side Note: Funny moment when Taker, Show and Jericho are on the outside where Chris yells back at a fan for something stupid he said. -Miz, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are backstage as they talk up how they are destined for great things. -Diva's Survivor Series Elimination Match, Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Layla, Alicia Fox & Jillian vs. Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Melina & Gail Kim: We start off with Layla and Kelly and after a jumping leg drop Layla is gone, then Gail and Michelle fight some with kim getting some quick moves in then a Faith Breaker by McCool and Gail is gone. Jillian and Eve come in next, with Eve hitting a sunset flip into a pin and Jillian is done, the Beth quickly disposes of Eve then Kelly with two Glam Slams, Mickie comes in and gets a crucifix pin and pins Beth for three. Beth is upset and attacks Mickie allowing Alicia to come in but soon after Mickie hits a Thesz Press from the top and Alicia is gone. Michelle come in and takes it to James even getting a cheap shot in on Melina before she gets the tag and attacks McCool, and soon after hits a modified Code Red and pins Michelle for the win. 5/10. -Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship, John Cena (Champion) vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H: As Shawn and Trips came out to the DX theme it seemed quite obvious they would team up to take out the champ then decide who was the better man. However at the very start Shawn hits Hunter with Sweet Chin Music knocking him out of the ring, much to the shock of everyone. What follows is a great series of wrestling by Shawn/Cena, then Trips/Cena and the expected DX face/off. The pace rarely slows down with the fans ooing and ahhing constantly, great spot where Trips hits HBK with a spinebuster through the announce table. The end is great as Trips get the Superkick, Cena hits the AA on Michaels onto Trips then covers him to retain the title. 10/10. -DX After Their Match: Exclusive home video of DX recovering right after the triple threat match, they then talk things out, high five each other and it ends. -Christian Performs a Rap for the Bella Twins: Funny and sad at the same time as Christian attempts to rap and fails miserably. This was a very good Survivor Series, all the matches flowed very well and the only average one was the Diva's match but thats nothing new.
