WWE Survivor Series 2007 (2007)

One of WWE’s "Big Four" events, Survivor Series is the second-longest running Pay-Per-View in WWE history, behind only WrestleMania. Often referred to as wrestling’s "All-Star Game," the elimination-style tag-team Survivor matches are annual fan favorites.

Will WWE End The Year 2007 Strong?

Survivor Series has been somewhat disappointing, for me, in the last two years & considering how the quality of WWE PPVs were going in late 2007, I entered this one with caution. Then unexpectedly, I witnessed one of WWE's best efforts of 2007 with only one match that should have been scratched off the surface of the earth.

ECW Champion CM Punk vs John Morrison vs The Miz. A good way to begin the show as these three mixed very well together & truly delivered a solid contest that features some nice spots & everyone looking strong at the same time.

Mickie James, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Melina, Victoria, Layla, Jillian Hall. This match was not bad either, even though it would have been nice to see another elimination match on the card. This is mostly remembered for Melina messing up her entrance & getting the kiss of death from Mickie. I knew I liked it..

World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdock vs. Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly. I have to be honest, I did not get into this match even though I do understand that Cade & Murdock are one of the best in this division. They carried Holly & Rhodes to an average match but nothing special.

Elimination Match: Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Kane vs. Umaga, Big Daddy V, Finlay, MVP, Mr. Kennedy. Unfortunately, Matt Hardy was injured so he could not participate in this match. This is actually a very good match & one of the best matches of the night as the story surrounding this match was that Triple H's team was down the whole match before staging a comeback of their own. Solid effort by all involved.

Hornswoggle vs. Great Khali. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? This was the match that I mentioned that should have never been made. Nothing entertaining or funny here & god I have never been so happy to see Finlay because that meant this dumb match was over.

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels. This Cyber Sunday rematch had two unique stipulations: If HBK used Sweet Chin Music, then he would be disqualified & never get another title shot as long as Orton is still champion. However, if Orton gets disqualified, then he would lose the title. This match was better than their previous encounter since it did not feature a lackluster finish but it also had both men deliver a great wrestling match surrounding with HBK using moves that he has never used before like the Sharpshooter & The Crippler Crossface. The aftermath add more to this solid encounter.

Hell in a Cell: World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs The Undertaker. This was the fourth time that these two were going to face off in 2007 & just like their entire rivalry, this was an awesome battle. I would not rank this one as the best Cell match that I have witnessed but it did have it's moments. Spots included Taker being Batista bombed through a table & Taker delivering the tombstone on the steel steeps. The ending involved the return of Edge who cost Taker the title & help set up what has become one of the feuds of 2008. Once again, great match.

DVD Extras are only the return of Chris Jericho from the following night on RAW. Nice to see him back.

Overall, this was the best edition of the Survivor Series that I have seen in quite some time. Other than the Hornswoogle segment, this event was entertaining from top to bottom & along with Backlash, it was the best WWE event of 2007. June 20, 2008

The Survivor Series of 2007: The Rated R Superstar Is Back!

Survivor Series was a huge ppv of 2007, probably ranked 2 or 3 of the year. survivor series was one of the few ppvs of 2007 worth watching. nonstop satisfaction from beginning to end.

1. Ecw World Championship
Cm Punk vs. The Miz vs. John Morrison
This was a great ecw match. i hated though they aint using the extreme rules stimpulation in their matches, that would have been great in this match to use.this match was very fast paced some 2 on 1 with miz and morrison on cm punk. punk takes some vicious kicks in this one. great match to start off the show it really got the crowd pumped. 4/5

2. 10 woman survivors series match
Mickie James, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Pheonix, Melina, Jillian, Layla, & Victoria
this really turned out to be a good women's match. everybody had a chance to shine and show off their skills. really good match but should have had the elimination stimpulation though. watch for the whoopsy daisy in melina's enterance. 3/5

3. World Tag Team Championship
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly
cade and murdoch has really evolved into a really good tag team in past years, i would love to see more of their matches. it told a good story and cody rhodes has potential to become a very good superstar if he stays with it. it was a decent match, worth watching. 2.5/5

4. 10 man Survivor series match
triple h, jeff hardy, rey mysterio, & kane vs. umaga, finlay, big daddy v, mr. kennedy, & mvp
this was a great match even though it was 4 on 5 from the beginning due to matts injury on smackdown 2 days earlier, they should have substituted flair in his absence, that would have been a good move. the match was great in itself by letting rey and kane being eliminated first and triple h and hardy battling to be the sole survivors. very great match. 4.5/5

5. Hornswoggle vs. The Great Khali
now these stupid segments shouldn't be on a ppv, especially on one the main 4 ones. khali did gave hornswoggle a vicious slap but it still not help the match rating. finlay comes and saves his little friend, that was the highlight of the match. next time, save it for smackdown. 1/5(just cause finlay came out and saved it)

6. WWE Championship
Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton
now the stipulation was hbk could not use sweet chin music and if orton got dqed he would lose the title, stupid rule but it really played out well. if you liked their previous match at cyber sunday, you will really like this match a whole bunch. hbk pulls out all the stops and using moves you rarely see him pull off. hbk uses the mat game to its fullest in this match. hbk pulls out legendary moves in this match including benoit's crossface. this was great match. 5/5

7. World Heavyweight Championship
Hell in the Cell- Batista vs. Undertaker
tremendous match. undertaker really brings out the best in batista. not a lot of weapons used but the one that were used they was really used effectively. they could have used the cell more but still good. other people have spoiled the ending, i personally did not like it, they should have waited until smackdown but i guess they used it to set up the match at wrestlemania. great match to end a great rivalry.i promise you will watch it more than once. 5/5

survivor series is one of the bests in 2007. very worth owning. i highly recommend this ppv. March 10, 2008

Survivor Series 2007 A Good Show

I think this years survivor series surpassed last years due to the fact it had two big time main events in randy orton vs michaels and Taker vs Batista HITC Dream match for many. It was good seeing randy orton and shawn have a pure wrestling match and the ending was also very good to me Ecw also had their best ppv by far all the competiors looked good and no one knew who was gonna win good show for the young stars the HITC with taker and batista was also good but the crowd seemed a bit dead maybe because of the awe of it but regardless these two had a battle hard fought it was a little cheap but Im sure this one aint over quite yet all in all this ppv was worth the money and one I will add to the collection now I just cant wait till the rumble -Robert V. January 16, 2008

Better than the Rest!

This year really sucked, PPV speaking for WWE. Overall, if you want to buy DVDs, you should get, Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, and Armageddon.

This is Ok, very enterteining, buy I definitely expected more from the WWE Championship, rather than just Blowing the match.

Also, the Hell in the Cell was blown.

Im not going to buy to see the blowouts over and over. January 8, 2008
