Survivor Series 2009 Review : DX Implodes For One Night



Team Morrison vs Team Miz : Traditional Elimination Match 
You can usually guarantee a Survivor Series elimination match being a great way to open the show , and on this occasion I think it was the best way to go . It wasn't the best elimination match , but it was still fun and enjoyable . I only wish that Finlay and Sheamus got more time to interact . Miz , Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are the sole survivors for team Miz . ***



Batista vs Rey Mysterio 
This was more of an angle advancement or a segment than a match . Usually that would be fine , but this was a big PPV , so surely that stuff could have been kept for Smackdown . We did get some nice action though . Batista destroys Rey and so the ref has to end the match . **



Team Kingston vs Team Orton : Traditional Elimination Match
This was definitely the better traditional match on this night . I'm glad they eliminated Mark Henry really quickly since it was pretty slow when he was in . Kofi being able to eliminate two former World champions on his own was great and really should have pushed him towards the stars . Kofi is the sole survivor . ***1/2



Undertaker vs Chris Jericho vs Big Show
World title is on the line . And as I suspected , this was mostly like a handicap match . Although the highlight of the match has to be a fan telling Jericho to go back to Toronto and Jericho retorts , ' I'm from Winnipeg you idiot ' . Just brilliant . It was pretty slow to start but got better by the end . Taker makes Show submit to the hell's gate to retain . ***



Team McCool vs Team Mickie : Traditional Elimination Match
This wasn't too bad for a divas match . Pretty fun actually . Beth was looking really dominant until she was eliminated by Mickie . Mickie and Melina are the sole survivors for team Mickie . *1/2

Remember when people thought this was the last ever Survivor Series ?



John Cena vs Triple H vs Shawn Michaels 
WWE Championship on the line . I thought this would be like the previous triple threat match , with DX tagging against Cena for the majority of the contest . Boy was I wrong ! First move of the match is a Shawn superkick to HHH ! The match was so much fun from there and easily the best match of the night . Cena retains his title . ****



7/10 . A good Survivor Series here . Two really good traditional matches , a good World title triple threat and a fantastic main event . Only the Batista/Mysterio and the divas match really hold it back .
