SURVIVOR SERIES, Year 1

The November classic is finally here. There are two elimination tag matches. Because of Kane's involvement in the WWF title match, he will be replaced.

Match 1. 4-man Battle Royal - X-Pac vs. Kurt Angle vs. Rikishi vs. Big Boss Man
Angle almost eliminated Rikishi, but he held on to the bottom rope. Rikishi tossed out Angle while Pac clotheslined Boss Man over the top rope. Riksihi then lifted Pac over his head and sent him crashing onto the floor.

Match 2. Legion of Doom vs. The Acolytes
Mideon walked down with a chair. He hit Hawk, which gave Farooq the upper hand. Farooq hit the Dominator, but Hawk kicked out. LOD landed a double back body drop on Farooq. The Acolytes double teamed Hawk on their side of the ring. Hawk had his face smashed into the steel post and he began bleeding. Hawk hit Bradshaw with a falling neck breaker. Bradshaw got up and hit a powerbomb to win.

Match 3. Goldust vs. Val Venis   WWF Intercontinental Championship
Goldust busted Val open with the fist drop. Goldust connected with a falling neck breaker. Val came back with a half-nelson suplex. Goldust speared Val through the barricade and made it back into the ring. The ref counted to 10 and Goldust retained.

Match 4. Edge and Christian vs. Triple H and Undertaker   WWF Tag Team Championship
Can the Corporate Ministry capture their first titles? I'm controlling Triple H and Taker. The Corporate Ministry focused solely on Edge. Christian was a non-factor. Edge went to tag Christian, but Taker ran and landed a DDT, which busted Edge open. Taker went for Old School, but Edge broke away. Taker then landed a chokeslam and won.

Match 5. The Hardyz and Ken Shamrock vs. The Dudleyz and Chris Jericho
This is the first elimination tag. I won't go into detail about the match. I'll just cover the eliminations. Shamrock and Jericho started. D-Von eliminated Matt after a Bubba Cutter. Jeff was later eliminated after Jericho powerbombed him. It was down to Shamrock. Jericho forced Shamrock to submit from the Walls of Jericho.

Match 6. Mankind vs. Kane   WWF Championship
Will Kane recapture the WWF title? The match spilled to the outside where Kane connected with a chokeslam. They made it back in as Mankind landed two back suplexes. Mankind was able to, somehow, use Mr. Socko on Kane and got the three count.

Main Event. Bret Hart, Bulldog and Pillman vs. Big Show, Eddie and Stone Cold
The second elimination tag match. Austin was the first eliminated by Bret Hart after a piledriver. Bulldog and Eddie were bleeding heavily. Eddie and Show hit Bulldog with a double chokeslam. Eddie was eliminated after receiving a running powerslam. Can Big Show defeat all three men? Show tried to eliminate Bulldog, but he was at a disadvantage. Bulldog eliminated Show to win.

Recap: The tag title match was very quick. I liked the two elimination tag matches. Mankind continues his reign at the top.
