One of the Survivor Series teams has changed:
Toggle Spoiler
When Bryan came out saying THERE'S ONE MORE NAME ON THE LIST I DIDN'T MENTION and with the Undertaker coming back next week, they've served up a right Gobbledygooker there.
Lol at Goldberg outdoing Heyman on the mic last night. Him and Bray Wyatt have been repeating the same promo for about three years now.
Goldberg has been better in his two/three promos this time than any of his first WWE run, really. And I'm not sure what Heyman's scared-of-Goldberg shit is about. He's better when he's being snidey.
Heyman does good scuttling though, got to have at least a little bit of that.
So does that mean that 'Taker is back for a proper run, or what?
I thought he was at least going to be team mascot, but then Ellsworth has that spot locked up.
I doubt he's back properly, but he'll maybe do a handful of matches.
Poor Ziggles.
Survivor Series tonight. It's gone old school?

you can actually see me losing my shit in the background
That Survivor Series card looks fucking shit.
My optimism will no doubt be punished but I actually quite like the look of the card for tonight, if only because the TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES MATCHES (thank goodness they've explained the rules for these a hundred times in the past month) should have enough time to not see 70% of the entrants eliminated like chumps as they usually are and that they're making up the bulk of the show.
An article on WhatCulture quoted Goldberg as saying his body feels "horrible" so he should be in a good place to take forty-eight German suplexes. That match should comfortably be the worst of the night.
It was almost certainly be shit, but given I have a week off work I'm tempted to stay up.
I'm going to have it on in the background if I can find a decent stream for it. Watching Goldberg get fucked up is worth choosing this over a film.
I'm definitely staying up. I feel quite excited, but at the same time, know I'll be disappointed. It's always the same, really.
Booker T is such an annoying prick on these pre-shows. He just says random lines that don't fit with anything and then laughs at them. "Time stands still for no man.... or woman.... HAHAHAHAHAHA".
Team Raw for the mens, Team Smackdown for the women, I haven't a clue on the tag team one but I imagine the New Day will be directly involved in the finish as they're coming close to a record. I don't know why Zayn is against The Miz as I thought Dolph Ziggler was the champion whilst Kalisto is blatantly winning the cruiserweight given Raw have fucked it up already.
SvN will be right, of course.
I'm amazed the cruiserweight division isn't inter-branded. Would of made a lot of sense if that happened.
I might watch this on catchup if they don't fucking edit Goldberg getting F5ed by the beast or something similar.
Does anyone have any idea which woman from Game of Thrones Becky was referring to? That's really confused me.
If that 205 Live thing is going after Smackdown then it makes sense for the cruiserweights to be on Smackdown in that sense. Not so much in that Raw, in theory, could be making better use of the extra hour.
Guys!!! Arb bets!!
Sky bet has Lesnar as 6.00 and Paddy has Goldberg down as 3.40
Also Raw to win is 8.00 on Sky and Smack down at 7/4
My account is suspended on Sky... Crying here
Suspended on Paddypower. Presumably they've realised their cockup.
Otherwise, can we please spoiler betting odds, as it often ruins stuff.
You do Paddy I'll do Sky?
There's not a chance Goldberg is winning tonight.
Pile on Lesnar then. He's massive odds according to Jeet.
I would if I had any betting accounts. That and I had any faith in WWE. By "not a chance" I of course mean "There's no way in hell he should win, but WWE can't book for shit, so he probably will".
Isn't Goldberg allegedly injured?
He'll win by disqualification or something equally as shady. I suppose that's the problem when you've built Brock Lesnar to be a wrecking machine. I imagine Goldberg will be feeling sore in the morning.
Lesnar will win clean with the F5. Anything else would be a farce.
I'm calling no contest.
Goldberg doesn't have another match in him, it won't be a no contest/draw/DQ/any bullshit.
Funny that Goldberg looks in better shape than Lesnar, who's looking a tad chubby.
Do we know what the first match is?
Probably the clusterfuck tag match.
Four man booth?
Jesus.
I like Sasha, but she has no character these days. She's a crap face.
Team RAW (RAW Tag Team Champions The New Day, Sheamus & Cesaro, Enzo Amore & Big Cass, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, Primo & Epico) vs. Team SmackDown (SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno, Zack Ryder & Mojo Rawley, Chad Gable & Jason Jordan, Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso, Tyler Breeze & Fandango)
I haven't watched it a great deal recently but looking at it, it's a right mess.
New Day need to split, Sheamus needs to be released, Cesaro is never going to make it, Enzo is just a mouthpiece whilst Cass has no personality. Gallows and Anderson haven't really done anything whilst Primo and Epico are jokes.
Then we move onto actual jokes. I'd wager it's only the Uso's for Team SmackDown. I don't get the Mojo fella.
Joy. Women's elimination match first.
No Cole might make this show a little bit bearable.
Bayley to turn into full Cenahhh mode.
What the fuck is this entrance?
Carmella just gets no reaction at all. I can't see her lasting much longer.
That Adebayor knee slide from Naomi was amazing though.
So this is because we're in Canada right. Still pointless shit.
Oh God. I'm a little bit behind you both but fuck me she's useless.
Charlotte is getting dangerously close to shameful lustage levels.
Rikishi dominating in this match
Well that was strangely entertaining.
Fell a bit flat, but I'm not usually a fan of multi-people matches (anything more than a Triple Threat anyway).
Bayley though.
