Recent pay per views have been pretty good. Survivor Series put on some amazing matches as did TLC. I applaud the superstars for stepping it up and delivering some amazing matches. Unfortunately the writing has gone the other direction. Storylines are uninteresting and change randomly. I will illustrate this following each match from Survivor Series to the superstars’ current roles in WWE.
Match 1 – Daniel Bryan vs. Ted Dibiase
This was arguably the match of the night. Why weren’t matches for either of these superstars made for TLC? Bryan has been stealing the show since he won the US title. He has been in a weird angle with the Bellas and left off of the TLC card. Dibiase can put on a pretty good match himself. Even a rematch would have been better. I read they had one as the dark match, but why? This could have easily filled the time the Big Show and Cody Rhodes segment had.
Match 2 – John Morrison vs. Sheamus
Arguably the only feud that has progressed since SS. One does have to wonder though, why book Sheamus to win the King of the Ring if they weren’t going to use that immediately. Having him lose his first PPV after winning makes him look weak. I approve of the Morrison vs. Miz fight for the Rumble, but Sheamus has once again been lost in the mix. I would have been fine with the feud ending if Sheamus could have used his crown.
Match 3 – Dolph vs. Kaval
Another amazing match. Rumors are that Kaval was injured, which would explain his absence. Kaval though has had an interesting run in WWE. He has won a total of one match and wasted his NXT title match. Fans enjoy his matches. I hope he returns soon and could see a great match vs. Rey Mysterio when both are recovered. As for Dolph, his TLC match was good. The ending was weird. I would have liked to see it turn into just a regular match when the belt fell, maybe with Dolph having the sleeper on Swagger while Kofi was in the ankle lock. Again, a decent match, but writing was kind of weird.
Match 4 – Survivor Series Match!
In this match Big Show and Rey Mysterio were the survivors. Surely something good would happen for them right? Well, partially. Mysterio did get put into a title match, but only because writers had botched the writing of the Edge vs. Kane feud. Big Show got to dress up like Santa and beat up Cody Rhodes. Why wasn’t Survivor Series used to push someone? Have these two get a tag title shot. Have these two in the world title match instead of Del Rio. Have
