Congrats you booked a 12 hr. show, with guys who no longer want anything to do with WWE. Forget not wasting money on this PPV, I wouldn't waste my time streaming this garbage.
Half the talent you booked on this card is going to end up just having to get squashed in order for all the matches to take place in the 3 hrs. the PPV has. Not to mention most of these teams make no sense, there is not nearly enough time before the PPV to build toward all of these matches, thus creating very little, if any, interest in any of them. This little dream card might work for you on your little copy of WWE 13, but it'd be terrible in real life.
Let’s open our WWE Pay Per View History Book to Chapter 5 – “Survivor Series 1987”. As you can see here, we have 4 matches, averaging about 26 minutes each, for a total of approximately 2 hours long, with interviews and entrances filling in the rest of the time.
Now let’s skip ahead to Chapter 8 – “Survivor Series 1988”. As you can see here, we have 4 matches, averaging about 31 minutes each, for a total of approximately 2 hours long, with interviews and entrances filling in the rest of the time.
And one more example, let’s skip to Chapter 12 – “Survivor Series 1989”. As you can see here, we have 5 matches, averaging about 24 minutes each, for a total of approximately 2 hours long, with interviews and entrances filling in the rest of the time.
My first point is, if you know your history, these Traditional Survivor Series matches are not 5 individual 30 minute matches merged into one long 2 hour and 30 minute match. Eliminations can happen within seconds of each other. The 5 matches I created could all be 20 minutes each, with my Main Event lasting 30 minutes and that would be a total of only 110 minutes, which comes out to 1 hour and 50 minutes of in-ring action, and 1 hour and 10 minutes for everything else.
My second point is, this dream card would have needed to start building on the week of the Hell In A Cell Pay Per View, or even a week or 2 before it. We had a whole year build for WM. We’ve seen TNA build major PPVs with minor PPVs in-between. It’s not a big deal to give more promotional time to the Big 4, as a matter of fact, it should be a regularly practiced method. I mean, we know the Rock is going to wrestle at the Royal Rumble already, right??
From beyond the arc, the teams make sense from a feud standpoint. Look back at the Teams before. They were not Stable vs. Stable matches. These were put together feuds, following the very basic formula of Face vs. Heel, Good vs. Evil. Half the Talent I booked will be squashed no matter what. They are called the undercard. Again, if you look back at past Survivor Series cards, the good ones where the Traditional Survivor Series matches was the only match type on the card, you’ll see that the Captain is the Main Event / Main Attraction Star, and then there’s a Mid-Carder or 2, and a Tag Team.
IV. By Talent not wanting anything to do with the WWE, do you mean Carlito?? I’ve seen crazier $#!+ happen, like Bret The Hitman Hart winning the United States Championship…in 2010!! Money talks, bull$#!+ walks. Remember that.
Last and most certainly least, I’m not concerned with what you do with your money or your time, but when you come in and attack my opinion, the only weapons I have are facts and stats. If the WWE isn’t doing its best right now, change is the option. Let me do some searching for your card. I’m guessing, 1 Survivor Series match, a WWE Title match, a World Title match, a match pitting the United States Champion vs. the NXT Champion, maybe a Divas Title bathroom break, Cena jobbing to Ziggler and a MITB Cash-In, because Dolph Ziggler is the most #underrated SuperStar ever. HAHA!! Oh wait, you don’t have one. Oh well!! Make one. I’d like to see what you can come up with.
