Warning: Spoilers
Just bought the DVD yesterday & let me tell ya, it was very good in my opinion, not the best of course but still very good.

FIRST MATCH- TEAM RIC FLAIR {RON SIMMONS, SERGAENT SLAUGHTER, DUSTY RHODES VS. TEAM SPIRIT SQUAD {MIKEY, NIKEY, KENNY & JOHNNY} IN A 4-4 ELIMINATION MATCH Not a bad way to open up Survivor Series. Although the match took a little slow to start a bit at the start it was still okay. Flair is the last man standing out of his team against 3 of the Spirit Squad members. Flair eliminates Mikey after a roll-up using the ropes. Flair then gets a roll-up on Kenny to eliminate him. Flair then eliminates Johnny after making him tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock to get the win for his team. 4/10

SECOND MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. CHAVO GUERRERO W/ VICKIE GUERRERO FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP This was a fast-paced wrestling match by both of these men. Both men had a couple of strong wrestling action with both men seriously taking it to each other. Benoit knocks Chavo {Into Vickie Guerrero who was standing on the apron} then gets him in a Sharpshooter to make him tap out to retain his US Title. 5/10

THIRD MATCH- MICKIE JAMES VS. LITA FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Even though I'm not a big fan of Diva matches. This one had a little fast wrestling pace going through it. Mickie James wins after a cool looking DDT to get the win & become the new WWE Women's Champion. After the match Cryme Tyme comes & sells all of Lita's stuff {Which Cryme Tyme sneaked into Lita's locker room & stole it} much to the delight of fans as this was Lita's final wrestling match before she retires. 4/10

FOURTH MATCH- TEAM DX {CM PUNK, JEFF HARDY & MATT HARDY} VS. TEAM RATED R-K-O {GREGORY HELMS, JOHNNY NITRO W/ MELINA & MIKE KNOX W/ KELLY KELLY} IN A 5-5 ELIMINATION MATCH I liked this elimination much, it was alright & had great action in it including seeing Edge & Orton's team all getting flogged. Not one member of DX's team is eliminated while in Rated RKO's team only Randy Orton is left. Orton tries escaping through the crowd but gets caught by the Hardy Boys & CM Punk & throwed back in the ring. In the ring Michaels nails him with Sweet Chin Music followed by a Pedigree by HHH to get the win for their team. 5/10

FIFTH MATCH- UNDERTAKER VS. MR. KENNEDY IN A FIRST BLOOD MATCH Good brawl by both men who try to make each other bleed which is the rule in the match to win. During the match, Mr. Kennedy was bleeding from the mouth but the referee did not see it. Then MVP interfered & threw Mr. Kennedy back in the ring, then got a chair & it looked like he was about to nail it on Mr. Kennedy but accidentally nailed it on Undertaker's head which busted him wide open making Mr. Kennedy the winner. After the match Undertaker goes berserk & busts Mr. Kennedy wide open then nails a Tombstone on him. 5/10

SIXTH MATCH- TEAM CENA {ROB VAN DAM, KANE, BOBBY LASHLEY & SABU} VS. TEAM BIG SHOW {TEST, MVP, FINLAY & UMAGA W/ ARMANDO ELJANDRO ESTRADA} This was the best elimination match of the night. Great action from both teams as Survivor Series seriously is the best PPV of the year. Cena & Lashley are the last two in their team while Big Show is the last remaining member in his team. Big Show gets Cena & almost does a Chokeslam but Lashley comes & nails a running spear on Big Show which allows Cena to get an F-U on Big Show for the win for his team. 6/10

SEVENTH MATCH- BATISTA VS. KING BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP {The title can also change hands by DQ & Countout. Also if Batista loses, then he will never get another opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship}. Not really a bad match, but even though I did not watch last year's Summerslam, I assume that this match was better than their encounter at Summerslam. Sharmell tries to interfere, but Batista gets her & almost is about to nail a Powerbomb on her, but lets her go. Batista turns around & Booker goes to nail Batista with the World Title {Which Sharmell gave to him behind the referee} but Batista ducks & nails King Booker with his own World Title belt & pins him for the 3 count to get the win & to become the new World Heavyweight Champion & regain it back after he had to forfeit it last year in January due to injury. 5/10

This Survivor Series wasn't that bad, it was pretty good as usual as all Survivor Series PPV's are.

Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C+
