WWE Survivor Series (2017 TV Special) User Reviews

Had its good moments like always!

[MuviFan73 · 7/10 · 9 December 2017]

Seven years ago if you would have asked who would have I supported, I would have said raw. The reason is I thought they were stronger and so I wanted to take their side. Today the reason stands same just that I will support the weaker ones. Hence today, I support smack-down (just note that I have again just started watching WWE after a long gap).

Match 1: The Shield (raw) vs The New Day (smack-down). Although I like Roman and Dean and even accept Dean can tolerate little bit extra fight. I personally wanted The New Day to win, the reason is simple they stand better as a team and the quality of entertainment they give to you. Still I feel it was the best fight. Rating: 9/10.

Match 2: Alice Fox, Asuka, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Sasha Banks (raw's women) vs Becky Lynch, Naomi, Natalya, Carmella and Tamina (smack-down's women). With Nia and Asuka on their side, raw stood firm. Smackdown lost but fought well. Rating: 8/10.

Match 3: IC Champ Miz (raw) vs US Champ Baron Corbin (smack-down). I don't know whom the crowd supports most. Is it fair for Miz to bring extra two friends. It was the reason why I supported Baron. Miz has quality to build up entertainment. Still what's unfair is unfair. US champ Baron won. Rating: 7/10.

Match 4: Sheamus & Cesaro (raw) vs Uso's (smack-down), Tag champ. It was not interesting. Uso's (twin's) won. Rating: 6/10.

Match 5: Alexa Bliss (raw) vs Charlotte (smack-down). May be I supported Alexa for appearing weak or for other reasons. I am happy a good wrestler won. Charlotte won. Rating: 7.5/10.

Match 6: Brock Lesnar (raw) vs AJ Styles (smack-down), World Champs. Its heart breaking to see such one sided matches. Brock dominated. Rating: 5/10.

Match 7: Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, and Triple H (raw) vs Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, and John Cena (smack-down). I was not interested in the match from the beginning. Something proper would have been if (in given scenario) started by someone ended by other. Triple H spoiled the end. Sometime I feel is this because of what their contract favors. He was punished by Braun. Rating: 6.5/10.

In the end I would like to add I don't mind planning if it still appears real and is high on entertainment.

The Inferior PPV of the Weekend.

[Movie-ManDan · 6/10 · 20 November 2017]

Survivor Series is actually my favourite of WWE's Big 4 ppvs (obviously behind WrestleMania). But this was very rocky, and totally uneven and random. This was the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I didn't give a crap about the three pre-show matches.

The first match was The Shield against The New Day. On a side note, it is beyond hypocritical for people to praise The New Day and bash John Cena. The New Day is so juvenile they make John Cena look like Scarface. Say Cena is stale; so it TND!! And it baffles me how people love them. THEY'RE BRONIES TARGETED TOWARDS PRE-SCHOOLERS!! People always say "bring back TV- 14" and "bring back the Attitude Era." The Shield is the closest thing to the edginess and what made those eras awesome. Praising the New Day is like saying you'll lose weight while pigging out on donuts. It sickens me that these clowns are the longest reigning tag champs in WWE history. They have absolutely nothing on Demolition or Fabulous Freebirds. And the WWE Universe is so stupidly immature for booing Roman overtime he came out. Never liked The Shield? That's a croc!! As if you weren't drawn into them in 2012 and 2013. Smarks are the most immature, hypocritical attention-seekers who want to sound all smart but wind up sanctimonious. Now onto the match itself, it delivered. I would like to see them go at it again in more extreme circumstances. 9/10

The first traditional survivor series match was the women. Raw's Alice Fox, Asuka, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Sasha Banks went against Smackdown Live's Becky Lynch, Naomi, Natalya, Carmella and Tamina. Asuka was the sole survivor. I'm glad she still has yet to be pinned or submitted. 8/10

US Champ Baron Corbin takes on IC Champ Miz. The video battles he and Mia had were cool. Baron Corbin is my least favourite dude in WWE. He sucks. He can't do a good match to save his life. The videos he made against Mia were just okay. The Lonewolf won. The match was dull. 5.5/10

Tag Champs on either show face each other. Usos take on The Bar/Sheamus & Cesaro. I don't like Sheamus' mohawk, but it looked extra dumb tonight. But the match was impressive. The twins won. 7.5/10

The Women's Champs up next! Alexa Bliss is WWE's best actress, but a bad wrestler. Charlotte is one of WWE's worst actresses (heel or face), but one of the best wrestlers. Charlotte won in a good match. 7/10

Both World Champs on deck. AJ Styles went the distance against Brock. I wanted AJ to win, but Brock was going to win regardless. I haven't liked Brock since ending Undertaker's WM streak. That was when he became a one-sided, one-trick-pony, most predictable wrestler ever. And I hate his work ethic. He shows up once every few months and get paid millions of dollars. Vince is scared if Brock loses the title, he'll leave. Let him! Luckily, Brock did more than one move, the match was back-and-forth, and disbelief was suspended! Even if Brock wasn't so one-dimensional, it still made sense for him to emerge the victor. Sweet bout! 8.5/10

The main event was the most hyped. Team Raw (Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe, and Triple H) vs Team Smackdown Live (Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, and John Cena). This match was way out in left field! Many random moments that seemed to be there just because. Aside from the bizarre element, the match lacked focus and spark it promised. It wasn't bad, just one of those you're bound to forget in a year. 6.5/10

7.4/10

WWE Survivor Series: The usual batch of hits and misses

[Platypuschow · 5/10 · 19 November 2017]

These days I go into every WWE ppv with low expectations but with Survivor Series there were several matches I had high hopes for and to a point delivered. Sadly that didn't raise Survivor Series 2017 higher than an average ppv because of all the generic, mediocre and just plain poor content that went beside it.

The neat thing about this ppv is it delivered matches we'd never seen before, it gave mostly the logical outcomes and in ring performances were again mostly solid.

But Hardy vs Elias? Owens & Zayn vs The Fashion Police? etc Who backstage thought people wanted to see that? I won't break the whole ppv down because I'll rant for paragraphs, I'll merely say that WWE delivered yet another ppv with nuggets of greatness swimming in an ocean of mediocrity.

The Good:

Some never before seen matches

Many brought their A game

Amazing teams for the final match

The Bad:

Non stop adverts

Kid Rock

Predictable

If you ever needed evidence that WWE isn't pushing new stars watch the main event! HHH/Orton/Kurt/Shane

Shane needs to stop wrestling, its getting embarrassing

No surprises

Things I Learnt From This Event:

It's embarrassing every time they refer to Tamina is dominant

Miz needs to stop doing the "Yes" kicks

Social media and wrestling seems to have become a peculiar awkward marriage

Cena is cancer in human form for the wrestling industry at this stage
