Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

wrestlingsitewebmaster This was a very good PPV. Fans were eager to see if 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin would get the losing end and this would result in him having to leave the WWE (not really, he returned to WWE 6 weeks after, after having a short break).Results from the show: Kurt Angle (c), Chris Benoit, Bradshaw, JohnCena and Hardcore Holly defeated Brock Lesnar (c), Matt Morgan, Nathan Jones, A-Train and Big Show in a quality match. Cena and Benoit were the sole survivors.Molly Holly defeated Lita to retain the useless Women's title in a fair match.Kane defeated Shane McMahon in a good Ambulance match.The Basham Brothers defeated Los Guerrero's in a decent scrap.Vince McMahon defeated The Undertaker in a classic Buried Alive Match. Kane helped McMahon to defeat Taker so this would set up a Taker vs Kane match at Wrestlemania XX in March 2004.Randy Orton (c), Christian, Scott Steiner, Mark Henry and Chris Jericho defeated Shawn Michaels, Booker T, The Dudley Boyz and Rob Van Dam to end Austin's run with Raw. Orton was the sole survivor.Goldberg pinned Triple H in an abysmal match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.Overall Grade - B

jsaulfan1 So, like my topic heading says, I was ringside for this one, and I must say I wasn't all that impressed. I try to catch the WWE live anytime they hit Dallas, Tx (my hometown)and this was not one of the better shows I have seen. I have seen both Raw and Smackdown live several times, but this was my first live pay-per-view, and I was psyched because I thought surely it would be a HUGE show, considering it was pay-per-view and all, but in my honest opinion, it was just average. I have been to several RAW tapings that were far better than this particular Survivor Series.The buried alive match sucked, and the ambulance match was just OK, but it was kind of neat to see the ambulance and the bulldozer sitting inside of The American Airlines Center, and seeing the wrestlers work off of them.The rest of the matches were so-so, except for Shaun Michaels performance....that was really good, and he dropped a lot of blood that night. Come to think of it, Vince dropped quite a bit of blood as well, but not as much as Shaun.I knew right off the bat that Mav's owner Cuban was going to be involved, because we spotted him right away before the show even started walking around talking to fans, so that was no surprise.I was kind of surprised by Austin's little goodbye speech, but let's be real, how many times has he quit and came back? It was really nothing new, but he seemed to be speaking from the heart, and I could be mistaken, but we were sitting ringside, and I could have sworn at one point I saw a few tears from him before he broke out the beer.Other than a few decent moments there was really nothing memorable about this pay-per-view for me, I would give it a 5 out of 10....just mediocre. It also didn't help that at the time there were not any really strong story lines going on, nothing to write home about, if you will.But having said all of that, I still strongly suggest that if anyone ever has the chance to see the WWE live, go for it, it truly is an awesome spectacle to witness live!!!

davidpenzer The card looked excellent from the beginning and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic booking and surprising endings. I'm really impressed.Match 1: Angle, Holly, Bradshaw, Cena, & Benoit vs. Lesnar, Jones, A-Train, Morgan & Big Show. Elimination Match.Great opener! Jones, Morgan, A-Train etc may not be the greatest wrestlers but they work well in a team and their size is impressive. Smart move by WWE; the three worst wrestlers – Holly, Bradshaw and A-Train are eliminated in less than a minute. This is a very intense match and all seven remaining wrestlers look good. Team Lesnar dominates in the beginning due to their size advantage, but when Team Angle fights back and Lesnar taps out, Big Show is left alone against Benoit and Cena. In the end Cena pins Show after the FU. Survivors: Benoit and Cena (who would become World and US Champions at WrestleMania XX). Match Rating: 4/5Backstage we see Stone Cold and Vince McMahon in a funny segment.Match 2: Lita vs Molly Women's ChampionshipEnjoyable enough match. The Molly Go Round looks impressive. Lita kicks out of it but only moments after Molly manages to get the pin on Lita after a drop toe hold onto the turnbuckle when the turnbuckle cover was removed. A little weird finish but a good match.Match Rating: 3/5Match 3: Kane vs. Shane McMahonIf they wanted to build up Kane as a monster heel then why the hell does he have to go through a two month feud with Shane? Kane should have squashed Shane in quick fashion and then continue to the World Title picture. This long lasting feud has only made him look weak. Usual Shane McMahon stuff here; lots of sick bumps, but not much actual wrestling. Very predictable too. Shane bugs the hell out of me, but he was seemingly over with the crowd.Match Rating: 3/5Backstage Brock Lesnar is interviewed. He looks like a monster but talks like a mouse. Goldberg interrupts. The beginning of a new feud? Interesting.Coach interviews Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is boring as hell but manages to draw some cheap pop from the Dallas crowd. Eric Bischoff comes out and talks smack and is thrown out of the ring by Cuban. Then Randy Orton sneaks up from behind and nails the RKO on Cuban. Thank goodness... Match 4: The Basham Brothers (with Shaniqua) vs. Los Guerreros. WWE Tag Team Championship.Amazing tag match. Los Guerreros is by far the best tag team in WWE. Very fast-paced match with many highlights, like a top-rope frankensteiner from Eddie. Seeing Shaniqua getting spanked is hilarious. Bashams retain the belts after a roll-up on a distracted Chavo. The beginning of a break up between Eddie and Chavo.Match Rating: 4/5Match 5: HBK, Booker, RVD, Bubba and D-Von Dudley vs. Jericho, Orton, Henry, Steiner & Christian. Elimination Match. Stone Colds career on the line.A fantastic match with awesome booking for the finish. When Christian eliminates Bubba, making Shawn Michaels the only man left for Team Stone Cold – against Christian, Jericho and Orton – it turns out to be one hell of a match. Shawn eliminates both Christian and Jericho and dominates Orton, but the referee is out. Shawn's just about to hit the sweet chin music on Orton when Bischoff interferes. Stone Cold takes out Bischoff and gives Orton a stunner for good measure. Both men down. Michaels recovers and goes for the pin, but Batista runs in and gives HBK the sit-down powerbomb while Austin's unaware. Referee recovers. King and J.R. are both screaming "Kick out Shawn, kick out!" Orton gets the pin. Match-of-the-year candidate!Match Rating: 5/5Austin has a retirement speech and gets a big pop - as always. This was definitely not expected.Match 6: Undertaker vs. Vince McMahon. Buried Alive.The excitement has already been ruined by all the spoilers. Everyone knows Undertaker will be buried, have some time off and then return as the Lord of Darkness. Only question is who's going to interfere, because we can't have Undertaker beat clean, can we? Not a single grapple here but thankfully the match is short. Taker dominates with punches and more punches until Vince hits a low blow. Taker fights back and is ready to finish Vince off when Kane interferes and buries Undertaker alive! Match was way too high up in the card considering how bad it was. This story could have been told much better.Match Rating: 1/5Match 7: Goldberg vs. HHH. World Heavyweight Championship.Better than their match at Unforgiven. They do a great job of making Goldberg look like an unstoppable monster here. Goldberg overpowers Triple H until Trips starts working on Goldberg's injured ankle. But in the end Goldberg is the last man standing in the ring, despite outside interference from all Evolution members. Impressive booking. This was good!Match Rating: 4/5The Good: The matches went from good to top-notch. Both Elimination Matches were outstanding, the tag match was awesome and the main event did not disappoint. Great stuff here.The Bad: The Undertaker buried alive story was very unspectacular, considering this was what caused the return of The Dead Man gimmick at WrestleMania XX. A cruiserweight match on the card would have given this p.p.v. a 5/5 rating.Survivor Series Rating: 4/5

Yankees26 Along with Vengeance and Wrestlemania was one of the best PPV's of the year.*Spoilers*1.Smackdown's Ten Man Elimination tag match- Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Hardcore Holly, Bradshaw, and John Cena) vs. Team Lesnar (Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan, and A-Train.) Hardcore Holly brawled with Lesnar whipping him into the steel steps. Referee Brian Hebner went to split it up, but Hardcore knocked Hebner down getting himself disqualified. Holly Eliminated. Bradshaw and A-Train started it out. Bradshaw was in the corner when A-Train charged him going for a clothesline, Bradshaw moved out of the way and gave A-Train the clothesline from Hell pinning him. A-Train Eliminated. Big Show came in and Bradshaw got in a few chops before going for the Clothesline from Hell again, but Nathan Jones kicked Bradshaw in the back as he bounced off the ropes and Big Show chokeslammed him pinning him. Bradshaw Eliminated. John Cena came in and was dominated by Team Lesnar for a little while before tagging in Chris Benoit who went to work on Brock Lesnar. Lesnar managed to tag in Big Show who dominated Benoit. Legdrop on Benoit for a near fall. Big Show tagged in Matt Morgan.

Holly, Bradshaw, Angle, A-Train, and Nathan Jones were hardly in the match at all. Holly's elimination made no sense since the match hadn't started so hes was allowed to do what ever he wants. 7.5/102.Molly Holly vs. Lita- Molly controls match for the most part. Hits the Molly Go Round from the top rope for a near fall. Lita goes for the moonsault but Molly rolls out of the way. Molly then hits Lita with an exposed turnbuckle for the win. WINNER: MOLLY HOLLY Didn't care very much for this match. Good suprise though by the WWE by having Molly win. I thought for sure Lita would win. 4/103.Kane vs. Shane McMahon Ambulance match- Highlights of this match: Elbow Drop by McMahon from the top rope throught the announcers table, Leg Drop by MacMahon through a garbage can and a box on the concrete, Mcmahon backed up an SUV into Kane knocking him through the window! Kane eventually won it with tombstone loading Shane into the Ambulance. WINNER: KANE Kane just wasn't the type of person for this match. Matt Hardy, and RVD would have made much better opponents. It's been just a few months hes been gone and I already miss Shane. 5/104.Basham Brothers vs. Los Guererros- Eddie Guererro and Danny Basham start out. I don't remember much about this match, but Chavo got a hot tag, knocked down both Bashams, back body drop on Doug, Danny Irish Wipped Chavo off the ropes, they were going for a double team manuever but jumped over Danny and dropkicked Doug, double clothesline had both men down. At one point Shaniqua tried to interfere and Chavo got her with a clothesline. Eddie went to the top rope and did a frog splash on Shaniqua! Doug Basham was back in the ring now. Chavo hit him with a swinging DDT knocking over Eddie as well. Chavo went to check on Eddie and Danny ran in and rolled up Chavo pinning him. Danny had the tights. Winners: The Basham Brothers Solid match. 6.5/10.5. Raw's Ten man elimination tag match: Team Stone Cold (Booker T, RVD, Dudley Boys, and HBK) vs. Team Bischoff (Y2J, Scott Steiner, Mark Henry, Randy Orton, and Christian)- D-Von Dudley and Christian start off.
