WWE Survivor Series Predictions [Updated]

It's once again time for the fall spectacular, Survivor Series! It looks like David has decided to rejoin the Wrestleblogger team after 'losing his smile'. Did he find his smile? Maybe, but who really gives a shit? The important thing is that he decided to 'nut up' and do some picks. Hopefully he won't lose his smile again during the upcoming week and he'll be willing to do picks for ECW's December to Dismember. He was almost not going to contribute his picks this time. He claims that he had them all typed up, but his e.mail locked up and lost his picks. (Waah! Waah!) After that happened he wasn't going to redo his picks, but decided that he would, but without explaining his thinking behind each prediction. Instead of picking who will survive we will instead just pick which team will be the last left standing.

Survivor Series Match
Triple H, Shawn Michaels, C.M. Punk, Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy vs. Edge, Randy Orton, Johnny Nitro, Mike Knox, Gregory Helms
I Say:
First off I find it amazing that Jeff Hardy can still walk after that Swanton spot from his ladder match on Monday. Speaking of that match, Nitro really raised his game a lot with that match along with his pre-match promo. As for this match I really have to pick Team DX to win since Rated RKO got over on them at Cyber Sunday. Also, there is no way that I can pick a team with Mike Knox and Gregory Helms to win.
David Says: Team Rated RKO


Survivor Series Match
John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Sabu, & Rob Van Dam vs. Big Show, Test, Montel Vontavious Porter, Finlay, & Umaga
I Say:
With the exception of Umaga Big Show's whole team is a joke. Show's can barely move, MVP looks rediculous, Finlay is little more than a jobber in my opinion, and Test is...well, Test. Cena's whole team is top-level guys so I have to pick them to win. Look for Lashley to come out looking strong leading into December to Dismember.

David Says: Team Cena


Survivor Series Match
Ric Flair, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, & Ron Simmons (w/Double A) vs.Spirit Squad (w/Mitch)
I Say:
I think that Simmons being put into the match was a poor decision. I would have gone with Jimmy Snuka or someone like that. I've said this numerous times before, but this time I am more certain than ever - The Spirit Squad will break up during this match. Or at least Kenny will break off from the others. If they break I can't see them all staying on the main roster. Kenny will likely stay. Mikey and Johhny to a lesser extent have a good chance of staying. Mitch and Nick will likely be sent back down to OVW or Deep South if not released. My pick to win is the team whose combined age is over 200 years old; Team Geezer.
David Says: Team Flair


US Title Match
Chris Benoit (c) v. Chavo
I Say:
I have to pick Chavo to win. I don't see him getting the belt so it'll probably be by DQ or something. God, I hope Rey doesn't show up. Speaking of Rey, he looked completely stupid during that video they showed on Smackdown. Who the hell gets knee surgery while wearing a luchador mask? I'm sure WWE was behind it though.
David Says: Benoit wins.


World Title Match
King Booker (c) v. Batista
I Say:
I'm sure that the WWE feels that Batista has re-proven himself since coming back from his injury enough to get the belt back. Therefore I am picking Batista to win. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of these 2 in a World Title match.
David Says: Batista


Women's Title Match
Lita (c) v. Mickie James
Updated:
I Say: Lita was right when she said that she gave women's wrestling credibility, but maybe not as much as she claimed. I see a slim chance that she could win the match and retire with the belt like Trish, but I have to pick Mickie to regain the belt. After some thought I think that there may be a chance that Trish Stratus may make a return for one night to cost Lita the match and help Mickie win.
David Says: Mickie James


First Blood
Undertaker v. Kennedy
Updated:
I Say:
I originally picked Undertaker to win, but I've changed my mind. I am going to pick Kennedy to win here. Yeah, I know that it's one of the WWE's main PPVs, but I think that Undertaker will do the right thing and put Kennedy over.
David Says: Undertaker.


Summary:
I picked:
Team DX, Team Cena, Team Flair, Chavo, Batista, Mickie James, & Kennedy
David picked: Team Rated RKO, Team Cena, Team Flair, Benoit, Batista, Mickie James, & Undertaker


Final Thoughts: I am pretty sure that people will be eliminated very quickly and easily. That kind of stuff always happens @ Survivor Series. Also, The WWE has been hyping the fact that they are going back to a more traditional Survivor Series format with the 3 team matches. I wish that they would have gone all the way and have a final match where the surviving faces take on the surviving heels, but I'm sure that DX would end up winning that match as well.
