WWE Survivor Series 2008 Results [Corrected]
World Heavyweight Title Match
Chris Jericho vs. John Cena
Not really much to say here. Cena came out to a decent hometown pop and then went on to win the World Title by defeating Jericho after an F-U.
Me: 1/1
Dave: 0/1
WWE Title Match
Triple H vs. Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jeff Hardy
At the start of the PPV Jim Ross and Taz informed the home viewers that, as reported earlier in the day on WWE.com, at 3 AM Jeff Hardy was found unconscious in the stairwell of his hotel in Boston. J.R. reported that WWE officials were investigating and that other media outlets, like ABC, CNN, and TMZ, have picked up the story. He also said that Hardy was questionable for the match. For the record, this whole thing was a work, and announcing this news did little more than take people's eye's off of their TVs and put them onto their computer screens looking for more information. The WWE undoubtedly did this to try to persuade on-the-fence fans to order the PPV to see what was going to happen. Anyways, the match - The match eas changed to a 1 on 1 with Trips and Kozlov. It looked like Trips was about to win when Vickie came out and said that the match was indeed going to be a Triple Threat match and then proceeded to start screaming 'He's Here! He's Here!'. Edge then came out, full beared, and speared Trips. Jeff Hardy then came out, attacked Edge, and started hitting people with a steel chair. Edge then speared him and pinned Triple H to win the WWE Title. I like Edge and all, but what's with all of his title wins out of nowhere?
Since this match wasn't anything like the way it was initially presented I am throwing this one out.
Me: 1/1
Dave: 0/1 (although David was right about a title change)
Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Big Show
Big Show destroyed the casket and tried leaving the ringside area only to be stopped by a wall of flames. The druids then came out with another casket. Big Show then stood it up, but UT ended up throwing Show into it, with the lid open, which caused it to fall down and have the lid slam shut with Show inside. 'Taker wins.
Me: 2/2
Dave: 1/2

Survivor Series 2008 Predictions
World Heavyweight Title Match
Chris Jericho vs. John Cena
I Say: The WWE loves to do certain things - That is to say they have become predictable when certain situations arise. Among those things is having a top superstar drop the title in his hometown or to have a superstar win the title in his hometown. Here we have the latter. Cena is returning from another injury and is being given an automatic title shot. I'm not sure if the WWE is going to give him the title, but he will win the match. This of course will set up a Jericho v. Cena feud leaving Batista and Orton to battle for a title shot down the road.
Dave Says: This is a tough one. Survivor Series is one of the big PPV and a title change has a good possibility of occuring but I'm not sure they would throw it on Cena immediately after his return. Not sire if he has yet shaken off all the "ring rust". And maybe I wasn't completely paying attention but it didn't seem like the WWE was building up his return as much as they possibly could have particularly since he is in the main event. I'm going to give this one to Jericho but this is likely the start of a long feud.
WWE Title Match
Triple H vs. Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jeff Hardy
I Say: First off, Triple H is NOT going to drop the title to a relative newcomer in Kozlov and he is NOT going to drop the title to a guy who's one strike away from being fired (per WWE's Talent Wellness Policy). This is the match that I predicted for Cyber Sunday so I will keep the same pick and say that Trips wins
Dave Says: You don't get to have the Heavy Weight title as many times as Triple H without dropping it a lot of time. Since I predicted that the other title would remain on the champ I predict this one will go to Kozlov if for only a brief period.
Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Big Show
I Say: This one is easy. Undertaker wins this match. The WWE could get back on one of their swerve kicks and have Big Show win, but I'll stay with 'Taker.
Dave Says: The Undertaker never loses a casket match and he wont lose one now.
Dave Says: I'm not going to devote any time to these so here goes.
Team HBK vs. Team JBL, Traditional Elimination Match
Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Cryme Tyme and The Great Khali vs. JBL, Kane, MVP, The Miz and John Morrison
I Say: I see Rey and HBK being the only survivors with JBL being the last of his team to be eliminated.
Dave Says: Team HBK
Team Batista vs. Team Orton, Traditional Elimination Match
Batista, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy and R-Truth vs. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, William Regal and Mark Henry
I Say: It will come down to Batista and Orton with Orton getting the win by cheating.
Dave Says: Team Orton
RAW Divas vs. SmackDown Divas, Traditional Elimination Match
Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle and Jillian vs. Michelle McCool, Maria, Maryse, Victoria and Natalya
I Say: When it comes to Divas Smackdown seems to take a backseat to RAW and this match will follow that belief. Team RAW wins (No offense Maria).
Dave Says: Team McCool
I Say: Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Team HBK, Team Orton, and Team RAW.
Dave Says: Jericho, Kozlov, Undertaker, Team HBK, Team Orton, and Team Smackdown.
