SURVIVOR SERIES, Year 1

Superstars ends November with Survivor Series

Match 1. Elimination - New Age Outlaws and X-Pac vs. The Millionaires
Del Rio had Road Dogg in the corner and threw JBL into him. Gunn and Pac worked over JBL on the outside. JBL came back and put Pac through the announce table with a fall away slam. Del Rio locked Dogg in the cross arm breaker. Gunn eliminated Del Rio with a brain buster and then eliminated JBL with the Fame Asser. After a minute of back-and-forth action, Gunn made DiBiase tap from a full nelson hold.

Match 2. Elimination - Prime Time Players and Mysterio vs. Henry, Barrett and Curtis Axel
Young was eliminated fairly early, leaving O'Neil and Rey to fight at a disadvantage. O'Neil hit Axel with a sit-out spine buster and got the elimination. It was now a 2-on-2. There was a lot of back-and-forth action between the four men. Henry hit O'Neil with a fall away slam and WSS to get the elimination. Rey tried to take Henry down with a head scissors, but Henry blocked it and won with an abdominal stretch.

Match 3. The Miz vs. Razor Ramon vs. Kofi Kingston   Intercontinental Championship
Kofi and Miz hit Razor with a double gut buster. Kofi went to pick up Miz, but he caught a thumb to the eye and Miz hit the Skull Crushing Finale. Razor chokeslammed Miz through the announce table. Back in the ring, Razor and Kofi landed a double DDT on Miz. After another DDT, Razor landed the Razor's Edge to win back the title.

Match 4. Undertaker vs. Ultimate Warrior   AWA Championship
Interesting to see this match on the middle of the card. Warrior blocked Taker's kick and went for his own, but Taker dodged it and hit the chokeslam. Taker then hit the Tombstone, but Warrior kicked out. Warrior came back with a suplex and running body splash. He went for the pin, but Taker kicked out at the last possible moment. Taker came back with a DDT and Last Ride to retain the AWA title.

Match 5. Table - Mick Foley vs. Jack Swagger
Foley was in the ring as Swagger walked down the ramp. Neither man could wait and the match began on the outside. Swagger placed Foley on a table and went to the top. He went for a diving ax handle, but Foley moved out of the way and Swagger crashed through it. Swagger countered the pile driver and landed a Samoan drop. Foley connected with a couple of double-arm DDTs. He then won with a sidewalk slam through a table.

Match 6. Bret Hart vs. CM Punk
Bret slingshot himself over the top and got Punk in a sunset flip. Punk countered and got a near fall. Bret reversed it back, but Punk kicked out. Punk went to lift Bret up for a GTS, but Bret countered and landed a reverse DDT. Bret finished Punk with a spike pile driver.

Main Event. Kurt Angle vs. Triple H w/ X-Pac
Why is this match the main event? Angle took Triple H down with a side slam and then hit the Angle Slam. Triple H was on offense for a little, but Angle came right back with a release German suplex. Triple H countered the Angle Slam and hit a clothesline. He hit the spine buster, but got a near fall. Angle connected with the triple German suplexes and won.

After the match, Angle was about to leave, but he made a statement by stomping on Triple H.

Recap: The second elimination match was the better one. Razor is once again IC champ. I thought Warrior was going to win for a second. A very lackluster main event. November wasn't the best month for PPVs.
