I'm glad that we here at Cultaholic are taking the opportunity to discuss Survivor Series 1997, because it's a show that never seems to get talked about. Other Survivor Series events get to bask in...
The 1998 Survivor Series flies in the face of modern standards for what a good/great wrestling show is supposed to be. It's only got about two matches that would meet the loftier expectations of...
The 1999 Survivor Series hasn't exactly proven to be a memorable show, at least as far as the matches go. Sure, it's known as the event in which Big Show captured the WWE Championship for the first...
The year 2000 Survivor Series felt a bit like the 1996 show (albeit not as excellent) in the sense that the major feuds were confined to their own singles matches, while upper midcarders with...
It was incomprehensible that WWE could take a sure-fire, undoubted winner of a storyline like a WCW invasion and render it so sterile and lifeless. The idea that the most sought-after pro-graps holy...
The 2002 Survivor Series is one of the more fondly remembered events bearing its name, and it's easy to understand why. When you look at the combined Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras from 1997 to...
The year 2003 wasn't exactly WWE's finest for a variety of reasons. Fan interest dropped off, as there were no stars the calibre of Steve Austin or The Rock anchoring the weekly shows. Monday Night...
Sure, the main event had implications that would actually kick off the yellow brick road to the main event of WrestleMania, but Survivor Series 2004 is otherwise "just a show". Nothing groundbreaking...
These days, the hatred between Raw and SmackDown seems especially put-on, as tensions don't conveniently mount until some point in late-October/early-November, at which point Survivor Series' card...
The intense dislike among brands had long since faded from the previous year's event, and even the ECW-WWE turf war had petered out into nothingness in the weeks following One Night Stand. The 2006...
The 2007 Survivor Series is one of those weird pay-per-views that felt like it should have been called anything except Survivor Series. Sure, there's an elimination match in the middle of the show...
Generally here at Cultaholic, we look for silver linings. If a wrestling show is average or mediocre, the lads and I can generally find something good among the bad to extol the virtues of. But...
For some reason, I tend to look back at Survivor Series 2009 with plenty of fondness. With two good World title matches (one of which being great), two very good elimination bouts, and a well-done...
Superhero characters being faced with moral dilemmas can make for good television, especially a heroic figure that had been presented as bulletproof for a lengthy stretch. John Cena was a part of the...
When you watch a bald Shawn Michaels, a physically-compromised Triple H, and a much more sluggish Kane and The Undertaker shuffle their way through the slowest main event this side of a turtle...
