25th Anniversary of Taker Series

[Slyder]

I count 5 matches as of now (2 semi, finals, diva, Brothers/Wyatt). There's a lot of rumors they're talking about Natalya vs Sasha Banks (since Natalya's fought Naomi and Tamina already), Stardust v Cesaro, Dolph v Breeze, Rematch of Uso/Ryback vs New Day. I wouldn't be surprised to see that last one expanded into a traditional 5 v 5 Survivor Series match (New Day, Barrett, Breeze/Stardust vs Usos, Ryback, Dolph/Cesaro).

Only 5 announced matches least to most:
-Charlotte vs Paige: I'm sorry that cheap heat Monday lost me. Most hardcore fans know about it but the average fan may not. It was in bad taste much like Orton (I think) telling Rey "Eddie's in Hell".

- Reigns vs Del Rio: I just not a fan of Del Rio, the shock of him coming back to be the one to beat Cena was great, but I'm not liking this whole Mex-erica or whatever they've done with Zeb. Reigns wins and probably gets beat down by some combo of HHH, Del Rio, the Authority, (insert other heels).

-Taker/Kane vs 2 members of the Wyatt family: I really wish they could have done a traditional SS match of this. I don't see them building this entire show to the Taker and have him lose. I expect Rowan to be the fall guy as he and Harper battle Taker/Kane and save Bram/Wyatt for TLC. Maybe Sting gets involved here?

-Ambrose vs Owens: This match should really be good. This match should be something WWE is looking to try and find a way to make a staple feud going forward. I really expect this to be a great match. This could be the one wrench in the whole Ambrose/Reigns predetermined final everyone expects.

-The Finals: It's almost guaranteed to be Ambrose vs Reigns. I fear WWE will be lazy and slap Reigns as the new "corporate champ" and move on with no other real change. If they're going to do a Reigns heel turn I hope they almost go more along the lines of the One vs All and he tells everyone to kiss his ass and he's going to do whats best for him. The only thing worst (which is certainly possible) in my eyes is Sheamus cashes in for a quick win as the show goes off the air/match ends.

i have a bad feeling ambrose is gonna get the heel turn and the belt. id rather the authority just screw him in the semis, let owens/reigns just have a straight up match with hhh backing owens, and reigns wins. rather than doing a heel turn for the sake of doing a heel turn.

[Hammer]

and i never thought id say id rather ambrose as a face than a heel.

[Slyder]

and i never thought id say id rather ambrose as a face than a heel.

He's the top face in the company right now. Making him a heel makes 0 sense right now... and this is coming from someone who sees him as a potential 21st century Roddy Piper as a heel and Brinx trucks being behind him.

[Hammer]

neville is the only guy eliminated, on a survivor series team that featured d'von dudley, goldust and titus o'neil...

[Hammer]

i can appreciate all the love for taker. but giving him the main event slot over the crowning of a new world champion, would be downright brutal. its bad enough him and kane are gonna go over tonight.

[Hammer]

crowd was about 50-50 on reigns, and dead silent on del rio.

[Hammer]

during the match here, they got considerably louder, and behind del rio.

[Slyder]

The only thing I would have touched about the Roman/Del Rio Match... I would have had Roman spear the heck out of Del Rio off the top.

[Hammer]

the foreshadowing by the commentators, and even reigns in that awful promo, on ambrose going heel and getting the strap...

[Hammer]

chinlock city baby!

[Hammer]

i have a good feeling we're about to get very positive.

[Hammer]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HOTLANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
