Who didn't love Miz Girl? Everybody loved Miz Girl.
Even she was converted to the dark side, however.

What a horrible card. It boggles my mind that WWE thought people would pay money for this shit. Maybe this is all some kind of joke?
Nah, I think they're setting Bryan up for a bigger win. They're using his success and status now in combination with Punk's to make the Wyatts seem like a threat. They used him to make the Shield look as strong as they do as well. I'm confident they're just waiting with Bryan. Only time will tell

The build for this pay per view has been... not good to say the least.
They've been going back and forth on it since 1992, but the concept really started to change around 2000. After that it became 1 or 2 SS matches per year. Title matches or big gimmick matches ave taken precedence since then.

They probably don't care.
They'll just give all of the matches away for free on television the next week anyhow.
Bad card is bad. This has been a horrible month for build up. This is the best thing to happen.

You should follow his Twitter. I feel like he's over at all exclusively because of how funny he is on there. Everyone's waiting for them to let him be that way on TV.

Why is Del Rio a thing?

He's one of those guys that can do anything well, but he has never had anything real to work with.
He can't connect with crowds, that's for sure.

Ricardo could connect with crowds and that helped to mitigate some of Del Rio's flaws.
Unfortunately they removed Ricardo from the equation so Del Rio's left to his own feeble devices now.

Del Rio could use some time off. As long as he needs, it's not like he's a dude they need for buyrates or anything. and come back with stronger booking. Maybe a repackaging. I dunno.

It seems like everybody and their mommas hate Miz.

That belt looks like a cheap replica also Zack Ryder wants to kill Miz LOL. Everybody in fear not to do the wrestling respect handshake OR ELSE. Also Alicia Fox is hilarious in this.
WOOoOOOooo~

Just look at Zack Ryder. LOOK AT HIM. I fucking burst out laughing. Ether, man.
Edit: and for some reason, Sheamus's sincerity was really funny to me, too.

Ziggler is so damn amazing. He still sold that move like it was the death of him lol

That reminds me of the submission hold HBK invented when he had a brain fart and tried to do a sharpshooter and a figure 4 at the same time and just said "fuck it" and dropped down.
Nah, he'll feud with Del Rio and have the Taco Shits again.

Hogan is the only one in the picture who should ever have been a face.

She's honestly way more fun to watch than anyone else WWE is trying to push.
Forgive my ignorance, but in the last pic wit Miz, us that ultimate warrior? I'm only just getting back into Wrestling since 04ish, but have been doing enough research to know that would have been impossible.

Strong Punk presence. Give us more Punk
This was one of my favorite SS matches.
Team Macho ("Macho Man" Randy Savage, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Brutus The Barber Beefcake)
vs.
Team Honky (King Harley Race, Hercules, Honky Tonk Man, Dangerous Danny Davis, Outlaw Ron Bass)
The great part about it was that previously, in less than a year, the Honky Tonk Man blasted a guitar on Jake "The Snake" Roberts before Wrestlemania III, won the Intercontinental Belt (a WTF moment) from Steamboat by cheating, and then with that, he started declaring himself the greatest IC champion of all time, drawing the ire of Savage.
As the match wore on and people got eliminated, it was down to Savage, Steamboat and Roberts with HTM all by himself. They all kept tagging in and out, beating the shit out of HTM, until he said "Fuck this" and bolted for the count out.
Also on that card, that Tag-Team 20-man match was crazy just on the visual of seeing so many guys out on the apron.
First Survivor Series, best Survivor Series.

Ziggler was what got me actually watching Wrestling, then he just did nothing and was barely even shown on TV. It's a shame since he can play to a crowd pretty well.
That's not why. He was complaining publicly about his position in the company, instead of keeping that between him and management.
Chris Hero reportedly got fired for something quite similar. Vince doesn't mind if your eager and hungry, but don't air your dirty laundry in the media or Twitter, because that gets you a one-way ticket to the doghouse.

I thought Hero was complaining privately, and then someone snitched. Could've been dirt sheetz though.
Also didn't help that the PPV he "headlined" against Cena did horrible buyrates, even for a B tier of its type. The build was horrible and Ziggler did the best he could with the crap he had, but he was still an easy target for low revenues.
Ziggler wasn't given many opportunities even before August or whatever it was when you knew Ziggler was being sent to the dog house. He was holding the WHC and lost to Del Rio in that double turn, great, things may be looking up. But instead of prolonging a feud with Del Rio and the title, they shifted it to Big E and AJ. It was a mess. And even before his cash in, he was basically doing tag matches from Rumble until Mania and jobbing in singles matches - despite before the Rumble he beat Cena in that TLC match to retain his briefcase. I'm certain they'll keep him down despite complaining or not, they just give it to their favorites, i.e. golden boy who gets his strikes taken away.
Monsoon and Ventura called commentary and once HTM left to give the babyfaces the win, they gave a reason as to why he left, and it was a great one. He's IC champion and he's, quite frankly, taking a beating against Roberts, Steamboat, and Savage. So he left so he doesn't get injured and risk losing his IC championship. It all made sense. I wouldn't give today's commentary team any credit to give out such a response.

God that card is awful. I look forward to the Bryan/Punk vs the Wyatt family match, though.

Just about the worst card in decades, will watch for Best and Beard...but that's it.
Cannot believe in the space year 2013 that Paul Wight is headlining Survivor Series.
They have a huge problem with AJ Lee, they want her to be a super heel...but she will always be cheered by the crowd as long as she's fighting this Total Divas stable bullshit.
Vince just doesn't get that there's a disconnection between Total Divas and a WWE wrestling show. TD's core audience enjoys curling up on the sofa and watching some trashy docu-soap, but they're not going to buy a ticket to a house show or order a PPV.

That came after reality kicked Spirit Squad Nicky in the ass. And yeah, social media isn't the proper outlet for such grievances. He should be thankful he's still employed.
