Survival Series was a really good PPV, the last few PPVs have seemed a bit boring at times but this one didn't have a bad match.
The squash match doesn't really count as a proper match

It's been the first time I've liked it more than the NXT takeover, last week on Lucha Underground they also had a fun battle royale style event which is worth watching if you haven't and want to see more wrestling.

Goldberg squashed Lesnar... didn't see that coming. Wonder if that was to appease the locker room after he went too hard on Orton. Considering Goldberg is signed for Royal Rumble, I'm hoping it is to build him up for a Wrestlemania showdown to put over someone like Kevin Steen

It seems like a bit of an odd decision for Brock to lose like that to such an old and established wrestler after they've been building him up as the undefeatable monster for so long but anyway as much as I like Kevin Owens I'm not sure if he needs the win since he already seems to be really popular.

So Abyss says WWE tried to get him for working with Undertaker back in 2006.

Swinging for the fences and assuming that it would go to Mania that would mean it would have been instead of Mark Henry (2006) or Batista (2007).

I guess Abysmal Chris showing up in the Raw Zone could have been sorta interesting.
 
Just a reminder that even if WWE is a pile of nothing there's still the rest of the world

The Sky Team teams up tonight in Arena Puebla, taking on Gran Guerrero, La Mascara and Ultimo Guerrero. Last week’s show had a Valiente/Ultimo Guerrero feud, and they’d probably do so again to set up a singles match in the next couple of weeks. The semimain is Angel de Oro, Johnny Idol & Marco Corleone versus Euforia, Sam Adonis and Shocker. The best match on the show might be the tercera, with Guerrero Maya, Rey Cometa & Stuka taking on Virus, Hechicero and Disturbio. Black Tiger wrestles on this show for the 500th time this year, teaming with Flyer & Tige Rojo against Cuatrero, Sanson and Policeman. The show opens with an all local match: Arkalis, Asturiano, Millenium versus El Malayo, Espiritu Maligno and King Jaguar.

So who's psyched for Tag Team Apocalypto, the next big Broken Matt Hardy thing?

JB said:
"Tag Team Apocalypto will be the most amazing match ever presented on television," Borash told SI "Bold statement. Different than anything you've ever seen."

Borash continued, saying that wrestling needs to "evolve with the rest of entertainment," and predicts that the Tag Team Apocalypto match will have a lasting impact on the industry.

"This will be looked back at someday as a game changer," he said. "Early screeners have left people stunned. Books may be written on this match. With the secluded nature of our shooting, there will be a number of talents showing up you would never expect."

I'm hoping for ICP and The Brothers Of Destruction, myself.

Producer(s): Jamie Noble, D-Von
Referee(s): Rod Zapata, Shawn Bennett
Ring Announcer: Byron Saxton
LE Producer: Matt Hanrahan
Production Manager: Law Bosse
Marketing Rep: John Varesio (Sat) John Porto (Sun)

VKM (Vince McMahon) Notes for Live Events

*** Per our conversation with Vince, please no pile drivers. Also, if there is anything you think is questionable, please contact Michael Hayes for more information. Thank you ***

* Referees should not play a factor in our finishes. It is important to keep their credibility. Do not compromise the referees or put them in compromising situations.

* Please make sure all talent do not go up on the ropes during their entrances.

* Please do not let talent stall too much, especially during the 1st match.

* NEW: No impromptu talent promos. Promos must be approved ahead of time by Michael Hayes, or, by the LE Agent/Producer and talent must run the promo content by an agent/producer and agent/producer must approve.

* NO ONE IS TO DO THE YEA-BOO STUFF, EXCEPT JOHN CENA.

* PRODUCER/AGENT NOTE: NO LOW BLOWS. ALSO ANY USE OF CHAIRS, TABLES OR OTHER OBJECTS MUST BE APPROVED FIRST.

* ALSO - AGENTS NEED TO APPROVE HEELS TAKING A WALK DURING THEIR MATCHES AND LIMIT TO THE TOP MATCHES ONLY

Producer Notes

Refs and Producers - If talent takes a bad bump or seems to have hurt themselves please:

* Stop the match and check on talent.

* If the ref is unsure if talent is OK, wave ringside doctor in to check on talent, all the while moving opponent to a neutral corner.

* If the doctor deems the talent unable to continue - stop the match and have injured talent helped to the back for medical attention and award the match to the opponent.

* If the talent wants to continue and the ref and doctor agree they can continue without doing further damage, then the talent should be able to get to their feet on their own and the ref can restart the match.

* Any time a competitor is really hurt the ref should go to their opponent and stand in front of them with his arms crossed. This is the sign the match has been stopped. Please pass on to talent and referees.

If talent takes a bad bump or seems to have hurt themselves, DO NOT:

* Give into talent who want to "suck it up" and continue the match. The talent's wellbeing always comes first. Never let an opponent attack their injured opponent to get heat.

NOTE: If talent is opened up and you must stop the match, later in the show if the cut is closed and the bleeding has stopped it is ok to send the heel back out to cut a promo bragging about their victory and send the babyface to the ring 'spirit of 76' to then make a comeback and hit finish on the heel.

NOTE: If we do a ref bump during the match, have the ref bump to the floor and have a 2nd referee come down and finish the match. Please DO NOT have the ref that was bumped remain in the ring peeking to see when he should get up and finish the match.

So lolWWE apparently heard World Of Sport is coming back, they just threw together the Limeyweight Championship to work on poaching the UK scene.

In better news Total Nonstop Deletion is tonight.
 
Ok what did y'all think of TND? I was quite entertained despite it being obviously ridiculous. It's hard to "rate" because it's so unlike most other things, but I would say it's an 8/10 ...it created its own reality and succeeded on its own terms

It was mostly good. Ground to a halt for a bit with Edwards / Lashley. The bit about burying the promising young talent was funny as hell, Maxel's entrance was baller, Vanguard 1 was great as usual, and the Spring of Drowned Gimmicks came through again.

It was pure fun. Everything I expected. The only negative is I would have left Ricky Morton on the lift for the rest of the show and have a post credits scene of him still begging to be let down

Tell me more about this how did Ricky Morton degrade himself for child support/crack money this time?
 
watching it this on YouTube, it's like some gonzo house show.
