Survivor Series 2002

1. Bubba Dudley, Spike Dudley + Jeff Hardy defeated Three Minute Warning in a Tables Match

This is exactly what you want out of your opener and more. Lots of energy, lots of brawling and a great surprise ending that the MSG crowd ate up. Good stuff.

Rating: 3.25 (out of 5)

2. Billy Kidman defeated Jamie Noble by pinfall to win the Cruiserweight Championship

Another good match that kept the crowd going. Jamie Noble was really good at this point and Kidman was motivated.

Rating: 3.25

3. Victoria defeated Trish Stratus by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This is one of my favorite women's matches ever. The first few minutes are absolutely great, but unfortunately it broke down a little bit at the end. Still, this was a great effort.

Rating: 2.5

4. Big Show defeated Brock Lesnar by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

This was one of the best five minute matches I've ever seen. Brock was the man and as I've said before, he and Big Show had great chemistry.

Rating: 2.75

5. Los Guerreros defeated Rey Mysterio + Edge and Kurt Angle + Chris Benoit by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

The three-way portion of this match is just awesome, but unfortunately they couldn't keep it up once Benoit and Angle were eliminated. That's all that kept this from being a classic.

Rating: 3.75

6. Shawn Michaels defeated Triple H, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, and Kane by pinfall to win the World Heavyweight Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This was the first elimination chamber match and still one of the best. Shawn Michaels put on another show stopping performance and Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho also stood out in this one. A lot of drama and intensity in this one, which usually equals a high rating.

Rating: 4

Well, this show rocked. From top to bottom this is one of the most entertaining shows that WWE has ever put on. You could complain that there were five title changes and that there wasn't that all-time classic match on the card, but I think that's being picky. So no, this is not WrestleMania X-Seven, but it's right up there in entertainment value. Definitely check this show out.
