WWE - Survivor Series 2006 Reviews

WWE Survivor Series is one of my favorite WWE events I like the traditional Survivor Series elimination matches but on this event it just feels like squash matches and some could of gone a whole lot better. With this been the 20th Survivor Series there should of been better matches and a big celebration sadly not much to be happy about.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Simmons & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Kenny, Johnny, Nicky & Mikey]

To be honest I am not a fan of Ric Flair the only guy I did like in this match was Ron Simmons cause to me he's entertaining and was great back in the APA with JBL. The match is not bad but it just puts me off with the Spirit Squad been in the match as that team just sucked. So don't hate on me with me not been a fan of Ric Flair.

United States Championship Match [Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero]

The build up to this match was quite good and the match was fairly decent and Chavo does improve during the match but for me it's not one match that I could keep attention to. I also got to say I can't no longer watch a Chris Benoit match after knowing he killed his Wife and Child which makes me sick.

Women's Championship Match [Lita vs. Mickie James]

I like Lita but she got nothing but disrespected I know shes done bad things but fans calling a hoe is just wrong after everything she did in WWE. This is her final WWE event and match before she retired like Trish Stratus did back at Unforgiven 2006. Trish got to leave with the title but sadly for Lita she loses it and just gets a whole load of disrespect. You got Cryme Tyme selling some of Lita's personal stuff the thing was a little funny just I would of liked to have seen Lita got the respect she deserves. As for the match Mickie James and Lita do both put on a good match.

Traditional Survivor Series match [D-Generation X, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, Edge, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms & Mike Knox]

This match I should say is just like a squash match I like Team D-X and Team Rated RKO but some of this match was pathetic. Mike Knox is the first one out only been in the match for 5 seconds before Shawn Michaels hits a Sweet Chin Music on Knox then he's out. I am going to skip to the end Rated RKO get dominated leaving none of Team D-X to get eliminated I think Randy Orton and Edge should of at least had a chance. The Hardys do offer some great work during the match which I do think they are one of the greatest teams in WWE any of there matches or involved in are enjoyable.

First Blood Match [Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy]

Mr Kennedy is on a losing streak on the PPV's in 2006 wasn't he well he lost at No Mercy a month before this event and lost a month after in the fantastic Last Ride Match at Armageddon 2006. Mr Kennedy makes Under bleed first but then Mr Kennedy gets a hell of a beating. This match is enjoyable both Undertaker and Kennedy do work well together in the match but I recommend checking out the match from Armageddon 2006 it is the better match.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Big Show, Umaga, Finlay, MVP & Test]

We all knew the out come of this match Cena Team was going to win well Umaga gets himself eliminated he gets the monitors and starts hitting other wrestlers I think it was Sabu and RVD I didn't pay much attention. The best part of the match for me was Test big boot to RVD's face it just looked fantastic. The most annoying though about this match is the likes of RVD, Sabu, Kane just teaming up with Cena to me it's just a weird team. Sabu hardly gets a chance if this was the old ECW this guy would take more damage but no gets eliminated after a chokeslam from the Big Show if it was the old ECW he would of kicked out of it. Then we get Bobby Lashley I hate him he's just like a bad version of Brock Lesnar (I like Brock Lesnar by the way) which picks up the win with Cena.

World Heavyweight Championship Match [King Booker vs. Batista]

The promo bit before the match was put together well and I did enjoy this match until the end. King Booker gets a lot of the offence on Batista but the ending has King Booker having the title and trying to hit Batista he dodges out of the way Batista gets the title and hits Booker with it and theres a new champion.

DVD Extras

Todd Grisham interviews Lita after her match - This is a good extra Lita talks about how she hated been disrespected by the fans and what happened. She also states about if she will return which she does say never say never. This is a good segment which I do wish Lita will return in the future Lita and Trish are the best WWE Women in WWE because they would wrestle.

Mr. McMahon's Kiss My Ass Cartoon - This was featured on wwe.com it's not bad its just weird. If you have not seen it look for it as it will be on the internet somewhere maybe still on wwe.com

Main Event of Survivor Series '87 [Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Paul Orndorff, Ken Patera & Don Muraco vs. Andre the Giant, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, Butch Reed & King Kong Bundy] - This match features JBL and Michael Coal doing commentary and to be honest I hate 80's wrestling I like it back from 1997 up to now.

Overall: I think Survivor Series 2006 is a bit disappointing as I still find 2001 and 2002 are highly the best. The matches on this just could of been great and some just felt like a pure let down. But I will tell you the best matches I thought of this event so here we go Undertaker VS Kennedy, Team Rated RKO VS Team D-X, King Booker VS Batista, Mickie James VS Lita was quite good. WWE did improve by adding an extra match but to be honest I would of liked to have seen some of Kennedy's segments on The Undertaker as they were great. Something I do enjoy is JBL's commentary some of the stuff he comes up with is funny which makes it entertaining and enjoyable to watch. If you do collect WWE DVD's like me it is worth adding to the collection.
