Survivor Series 2009

1. Miz, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne by pinfall This was a good choice for the opener and the right team went over. You can't go wrong with that. Survivors: Miz, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus Rating: 3.25 (out of 5) 2. Batista defeated Rey Mysterio by referee stoppage I enjoyed this as a storyline, as it wasn't really meant to be much of a match. Batista was motivated and this led to the best run of his career as a character. Rating: 2.5 3. Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Mark Henry, MVP, Christian defeated Randy Orton, CM Punk, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, William Regal by pinfall This one wasn't quite as good as the first match, but pretty close. The final five minutes or so were really well done. Survivor: Kofi Kingston Rating: 3 4. Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho and Big Show by submission This was a little on the slow side, but Jericho did a great job at playing his role and the other two guys gave a decent effort. Rating: 2.75 5. Mickie James, Eve, Kelly Kelly, Melina, Gail Kim defeated Michelle McCool, Layla, Beth Phoenix, Jillian, Alicia Fox by pinfall This wasn't bad, but as usual, very rushed. It served it's purpose. Survivors: Mickie James, Melina Rating: 1 6. John Cena defeated Triple H and Shawn Michaels by pinfall ***Match Of The Night*** This was a really great main event that reminded us how good John Cena can be in the right environment. The superkick on Triple H to start the match was great story telling and everything from there was pretty awesome. Rating: 4.25 This is hands down among the best Survivor Series ever. It's not perfect, but everything did what it was supposed to do and when you can pull that off, you know you have a success. Overall Rating:
