"It's the one night a year where Raw and SmackDown superstars go head to head." WWE repeats that hackneyed and inaccurate phrase with such zealous frequency that you half expect Jack Torrance to...
Survivor Series is the third biggest show of the year. That's my opinion. You take all of the memorable moments of a WrestleMania, the traditional stipulation match that the Royal Rumble boasts, stick...
"Fantasy Warfare Just Got Real". The tagline seemed to be a curious one for Survivor Series 2016, considering that the advertised main event featured two part-time wrestlers (one of whom hadn't...
Survivor Series is the most-maligned of the big five. While it's often spectacular, it doesn't quite hold the same dream-match, all-roads-lead-to-here prestige as WrestleMania or SummerSlam. And just...
Pro wrestling is really, really cool, and we know this. If I was a wrestler, my matches would suck because I'd be in constant awe of myself. I'd take a timeout after each move to run around the...
