Big Show turned face, then heel, then face, then heel, then face, then heel then face. At Survivor Series, Big Show turned heel. A Cena/Show feud? Again? Seriously?
Ziggler was on fire!!
I didn't believe that Sting will debut at all, but DAMN he was THERE!! Good PPV, I still think it was meh. The main event was better than I thought, and Ambrose/Wyatt was worse than I thought. Great to see Sting debut, can't wait for RAW!

first thing is, MIZ AND MIZDOW ARE TAG CHAMPS
Ambrose vs Wyatt was good
Nikki vs AJ, too bad we didnt actually see a match but i guess the kiss makes up for it
i didnt like how Ryback was the first to be eliminated, why? for the past couple weeks on RAW Authority and Cena has been trying to get him on their team to dominate people and he kept saying no. the past RAW he said no again and then came out at the last minute to surprise people. IMO, why should the guy that surprised people would be on the team be eliminated first? and hes THE BIG GUY, he should of had more time
i hope i get to see a Rusev vs Ryback feud afterwards
Show turned heel. this made no sense because Team Cena won anyway so why turn your back on them? i understand he did it to "keep his job if they lost" but its wrestling, if Cena was gonna go over, then make Show turn heel in a different way. so he sold out for pretty much nothing if anyone understands me
Dolph Ziggler BUSTED his ass off in that match. he truely is the Showoff
Sting debuting was AWESOME

Fair play though, that Main Event had absolutely everything. Good action, Rusev being protected, a shock with Cena not lasting until the end, a Heel turn, Ziggler looking like Shawn Michaels outdoing the odds, Drama and suspense with Triple H and the referees, and finally a massive moment with Sting. Brilliant events.

I'm still so ing exhilarated from that main event, it's taken me two and a half Goddamn hours to bother looking through the Paige tag on tumblr to see if anything from the PPV was sig worthy. That's exactly how I find my sigs.

As someone who is typically very critical of the WWE, I can honestly say that this was easily the best PPV, from start to finish, in years. It's amazing what happens when this company listens to its fans and gives them what they want. The fans wanted more Mizdow, so they gave him his first championship. They wanted Ambrose and Wyatt to have twenty minutes to tell a story. They wanted someone other than John Cena to be the focal point of the main event. They wanted shock factor. The WWE capitalized on all of that last night. I don't think it's any coincidence that last night's show was booked the way it was while the whole intent of the PPV was to sell the WWE Network to fans.
The main event was booked excellently. Show turning on Cena really was shocking, and Cena being the third man eliminated on his team just blew my mind. Never in a million years would've expected that. Ziggler came off looking like a stud, and last night was probably the biggest moment of his career.
As for Sting? Wow. After all the rumors over the weekend of him finally appearing, the WWE did a great job of holding off his appearance till the last possible second just when everyone started to believe we were duped by another Sting rumor. Having him be the symbol of justice and show up as the "savior" was perfect for his character, and reminded me a lot of what he stood for when he returned to WCW with his crow gimmick.
My ONLY complaints about last night:
1. Sting's entrance music. Ugh. The guy they have doing the themes now is awful. Jim Johnston would have done an awesome remake of his WCW Crow theme the way he did with Goldberg's theme when he came to the WWE. I always envisioned him having that theme when he finally arrived in the WWE.
2. Ryback being the first member of his team eliminated. I understand why they did it considering they needed to save Big Show for his big heel turn in the end, but it still just sucks. They spent all this time building him up again and making him seem like the key to winning the match and he winds up being eliminated by a cheap heel tactic. Just seemed bad to me.
3. The commentary. I mean, just dreadful stuff as usual, especially in the main event. JBL rooting for The Authority the whole match only for him to start marking out and changing his tune as soon as Sting showed up made no sense. Cole was his usual awful self. King added nothing.
4. Paige's team being swept. It would've really been awesome if they had her come all the way back and be the first Diva to ever eliminate five opponents, or at the very least have her eliminate four and then come up just short. But I don't get what the point was of her getting swept.
Excellent PPV, and I really hope they don't ruin things by reverting back to the norm tonight. It's easy to get excited about things, but just remember we still have an impending Cena vs. Lesnar title match. I think it would be awesome if Cena came out tonight and said as a thank you to Dolph for winning it for his team, he's giving him his shot at the title instead. Brock vs. Ziggler would be a great match. It would be stupid not to capitalize on his big win last night.
As for Sting, it would be very disappointing if he didn't show up tonight. How great would it be if he does show up and cuts a promo about how the reason he cost The Authority the match is because he's been campaigning for a match against The Undertaker for the past six months and they haven't given it to him, so he took matters into his own hands. He then formally lays down the challenge to Taker and says he'll wait till TLC or the Rumble for an answer. That gives added incentive for people to subscribe to see the PPV for the first ever confrontation between the two, and sets the stage early for a match at Wrestlemania that could lead to some awesome buildup. Plus, it's a way to write Sting off of TV for the next month or two without getting people's false hopes up that he could be appearing each week if there's actually no intention of him doing so.

Great main event. Fantastic drama, and they made Ziggler look great. Built Harper vs Rowan well, everyone played their part fine. They completely screwed Ryback (again) in his first big match (again) though, to the point where it seems like the last month of TV building around him was a waste of time. I wish they hadn't leaked the info about Sting -- I can understand why they did, but man, it would've felt like a much bigger moment if everyone wasn't expecting it. His music wasn't great either, and he kinda looked like crap. But still, it's Sting in WWE! And I guess he's facing Triple H at WrestleMania. If anyone's gonna get a great match out of the Stinger, it's Hunter. Ambrose vs Wyatt was good too, everything else was just Raw/Smackdown. Show turning on Cena really was shocking Very much no. Big Show turning on Cena (or anyone) is never shocking. The worst part of Survivor Series is that it's probably leading to another terrible Cena vs Big Show feud, because apparently we have to have one every couple of years.

Okay I'll take my stab at it with... " marino13's ( most likely wrong) predictions". Ambrose & Wyatt ends in a double dq. Brie reluctantly helps Nikki win the Divas title. Sandow pins Fernando to win the tag titles. Paige defeats Natalya to be the sole survivor. Cena & Ryback are the survivors as Team Cena wins. Okay let's review... Ambrose was DQ'ed instead but the result is more less the same. I knew there wouldn't be a clean finish. Well Brie did help Nikki win. Not sure how reluctant she was. Sandow did get the pinfall, just not on Fernando. Paige Sole Survivor? Swing and a miss! Got the right team just not the right members. But I have a strong feeling I wasn't the only one.

the main event was amazing. it was a one-match PPV and the one match absolutely delivered. the Mizdow thing was cool. but Cole EXPLAINING Mizdow is completely destroying the point. And to be honest what the hell is he going to do when they split? I just hate how rushed everything is lately. They've been a team for what? 6 weeks? Ugh whatever, it's still fun and nice that Sandow finally got a championship. Bray/Ambrose was fine. But it felt like filler. Especially the end...obviously it was to set up a TLC match because Ambrose gives no s about pinfalls. But the match was just, there. Cole's exclamation of "THAT'S WHAT BRAY DOES!" when Ambrose mocked the spider walk, made me want to throw up. The show overall was hot garbage minus the main event. Nothing special, nothing incredible, nothing that would "draw me in" as a casual fan buying the network for free. It really was just a monday night but replace the last hour of promos & squashes with a 5-star main event. oh and ing Sting. THAT was a great moment, and I'd rather see him vs Trips 100000x over him vs 'Taker. Here's to Ziggler jobbing out tonight somehow because Cenawinslol.

The worst part of Survivor Series is that it's probably leading to another terrible Cena vs Big Show feud, because apparently we have to have one every couple of years. It's not surprising that he turned heel, but you can't deny the way it was done was surprising. The fact they he knocked out Mark Henry pretty much erased any doubts that he would be turning heel last night, and then to knockout Cena and have him not be the sole survivor was even more shocking. I don't care about another Show-Cena feud. It has no appeal, but then again no Cena feud has any appeal to me anymore.

I was five for five in my predictions on spam.com. I did predict Cena and Ryback surviving, but I'm a THOUSAND times happier with the real survivor.

I love the idea that he panicked for what turned out to be no reason. The odds did look bad for him when he did it though, so it still makes sense. I'm really looking forward to what he has to say tonight, even though the feud with Cena will not be interesting after that.

Weird. Show. Good and bad.
Mizdow is ridiculously over.
Not sure why they spent so much time on Ryback only for him to be eliminated first. Not complaining though because Ziggler was amazing. Probably one of the best performances in Survivor Series history.
Big Show turning for the 400th time was meaningless.
The Bunny had a PPV match. Whatever.
Ziggler though.
Sting was cool.

In terms of Kayfabe, Cena is a ing moron for ever trusting Big Show after he betrays him all the time.

WWE once again deciding to show us how important The Big Show can be....
I hate The Big Show.. I cannot stress that enough.. This isn't 2003 anymore, I legit can't stand the guy.. Any time he becomes a focal point in their main event scene, I stop watching until he's gone.. He sucks.

I've got to rewatch that main event today. Just too good.
I'm still irked about Big Show, though. God, how tired and lame is that?
I'd like to also note that I had a busy weekend, and hadn't been online at all for the better part of the two days prior to the show last night, so I had absolutely no inclination or idea that Sting was even rumored to be at the show. I saw the ending itself coming as it was set up, but I thought it was going to be Orton returning to help Ziggler. So, needless to say, I was completely shocked when Sting showed up, which was pretty great.

What is even sadder about the Big Show is he got jobbed right out of the gate when he wrestled Steve Austin on the March 22nd, 1999 RAW.

I think in terms of kayfabe, none of the previous turns happened and Big Show has spent the last fifteen years (or actually, they now pretend he's been in WWE for twenty years or so) as a smiling giant high-fiving fans and dressing up as Hulk Hogan BUT HE'S SICK OF KISSING UP TO THE FANS AND NOW HE'S AN ANGRY GIANT WHO MEANS BUSINESS.At least that seems to be the route they take every other time he turns heel.
