SURVIVOR SERIES, Year 3

The card wasn't half bad. I am keeping some of the matches.

Match 1. Regal vs. Triple H  Intercontinental Championship
It's interesting seeing The Game challenge for the secondary title. Regal broke out of Triple H's sleeper hold and connected with a running knee. He then hit a rolling senton and a tigerbomb. Triple H came back and busted open Regal with a knee smash. He ended the match with a spine buster, Pedigree and a 3 count.

Match 2. RVD and Kane vs. Christian and Jericho  World Tag Team Championship
Because it's Survivor Series, this will be an elimination tag match. C&C kept Kane away from RVD for the first few minutes. Kane pinned Christian after a chokeslam and eliminated him. Jericho was now all alone. RVD was in the ring for a few moments, but Kane was quickly back in. After a second chokeslam, Kane pinned Jericho to retain the titles.

Match 5. Iron Man - Scott Steiner vs. Booker T  World Heavyweight Championship
The newly-turned heel Steiner defends his title against the fan-favorite Booker. The match spilled to the outside. The ref counted up to 5 before both men ran into the ring. Booker hit the Houston Hangover, shades of his WCW days. He then went for the scissors kick, but Steiner reversed it. He landed the belly-to-belly to score the first point with 8:15 left. Steiner went for another belly-to-belly, but Booker blocked it and hit a super kick. Booker brought in a chair, but it backfired as Steiner DDT'd him on it. Steiner scored his second point after a pinning German suplex. Steiner scored his third point not much later. Booker finally got on the scoreboard after a Bookend, but is it too late? Steiner sealed the deal after another German suplex pin to go up 4-1. Booker scored a second, but unnecessary, point after a super kick. The final was 4-2.

After the match, Miz and Morrison celebrated with Steiner.

Main Event. Inferno - Undertaker vs. John Cena  WWE Championship
Cena gets his title shot since he vacated the belt because of injury. Cena dominated the Deadman early on with a couple of suplexes. He blocked Taker's running clothesline and landed the AA, which brought the temperature to 500 degrees. He then threw Taker through the ropes and set him on fire to win back his belt.

Recap: First Cena, now Miz and Morrison. Steiner is aligning himself with members of both brands. This was a really good PPV. I can't believe this version of my Universe is almost over. I have to think of what Year 4 is going to be.

NO MERCY, Year 3

The AI-made card was horrible. I did like the idea of the inter-brand matches.

After the match, Austin raised Kane's arm.

Main Event. Inferno - Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle  WWE Championship
Taker beat Angle in a table match on the last Smackdown. Angle got some moves in early, but Taker countered with a hip toss and a DDT. He then went for the Last Ride but Angle reversed it. Angle hit a German suplex but Taker got right up and hit a Tombstone. After a knee to the gut, Taker threw Angle through the ropes and set him on fire.

Recap: Does my Universe have other cutscenes besides the injury angle? It's getting REALLY annoying. The Brothers of Destruction retained their titles.

August Week 2, Year 3

Raw is low on faces right now. I hope everyone is back by the October draft.

Raw
Match 1. Jeff vs. Orton
Goldberg ran down to the ring and went after Orton. Randy got right back up and hit Jeff with the Angle Slam-like move. Jeff countered Orton's grapple and hit the Twist of Fate. Orton blocked one of Jeff's right hands and connected with the RKO and won.

Match 2. Benoit vs. Jericho
These two men know each other so well. Jericho connected with the Codebreaker at 5:30. A minute later, Benoit locked him in the Crossface. Benoit then hit a snap suplex. After an atomic drop and enziguri, Jericho scored the victory.

After the match, Orton attacked Jericho with a pipe.

Match 3. Stone Cold vs. Triple H
Austin was in control of HHH. The Game countered and hit his signature spine buster. Austin caught Triple H in a headlock then hit the Stunner. A minute later, Triple H kicked Austin and connected with the Pedigree. After a clothesline in the corner, The Game scored the pinfall.

After the match, Triple H grabbed a chair and went to hit Austin when RVD's music hit. He ran down and took out The Game.

Main Event. Goldberg vs. Henry
Henry was tossing around Goldberg early on. He landed a fall away slam and a two-handed chokeslam. He later hit a military press and the World's Strongest Slam to win.

After the match, Henry grabbed a chair and was about to hit Goldberg when Rey came out of nowhere and took the chair. He then turned around and hit Goldberg.

Smackdown
Match 1. Too Cool vs. Miz and Morrison
Rikishi hit Miz with a huge back suplex. A couple of minutes later, Morrison hit Rikishi with Starship Pain. He then landed the Moonlight Drive neck breaker. JoMo reversed Rikishi's Death Valley Driver into a DDT and busting him open. The match ended when Scotty hit Miz with a chop block and pinned him.

Match 2. Big Show vs. Rey
Rey used his speed and lethal kicks to take the big man down. Show fought back and hit Rey with the WMD. Rey wouldn't stay down and Show hit him with another WMD to win.

After the match, Angle attacked Show with a pipe.

Match 3. John Cena vs. Bubba Ray
Bubba dropped Cena on his head from a piledriver. Cena fought back and hit Bubba with an AA and almost won. Cena went for another one but it was blocked and Bubba hit the Bubba Cutter. Cena recovered and successfully hit his second AA to win.

After the match, Evolution appeared at the top of the ramp. Triple H pointed at Cena.

Main Event. Table - Taker vs. Angle
Taker and Angle traded right hands in the beginning. Angle gained the upper hand and landed a German suplex. He left the ring and brought in a table. Taker got up and took Angle down with a big boot. He then hit the chokeslam. Angle kicked out and landed the triple German suplexes. Taker sat up and set up a table in the corner. Taker hit the Last Ride and then whipped Angle into the table. He pulled him out and suplexed him through the table to win.

Recap: RVD and Rey are back. Rey turned heel. Next week, RVD and Kane will get a tag title shot. There has been a lot of cross-brand action going on so far. I kind of like it.
