I also love Dave’s annual brand shirt rant. He’s usually so accepting and “well what are you gonna do” about terrible WWE things, but he gets so so mad at the t-shirts every year.

I mean, in fairness the shirts do make the guys look like absolute geeks.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Bryan had some ideas regarding the survivor series feud and I like the idea that it influences Rumble entry order. Like the team with the most losses has to enter at 1-10, the next team gets the enter at 11-20, and the winner gets 21-30.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I like this, but then you’re gonna have guys on the same brand fighting for most of the match, and it limits any surprises that don’t fall into the brand structure. Maybe have it be that the 5 guys on the losing team enter at some point between 1-10, the 5 guys in the second place team enter at some point between 11-20, etc. then you have reasons for why guys are fighting to get on the team in the first place (you can earn a good spot rather than getting luck of the draw) and leaves some room for surprises and for guys who don’t normally interact to have some time in the rumble together.

Kanyon‘a story is so tragic on so many levels, and I bet he woulda been incredible on commentary in any promotion that would have him. fella sounds like an absolute hoot.

There's a shoot video of Raven and Jim Mitchell telling Kanyon stories for 90 minutes and it's got some amazing stories, including one of Jim Mitchell taking responsibility for a briefcase full of dildos that fell off a moving van so that Kanyon's homophobic brothers wouldn't find out he was gay.

He was treated incredibly poorly in WWE because of it, apparently the segment where he dressed as Boy George and took a stiff chair shot from the Undertaker was directly a "rib" because of this.

Kanyon would have done so, so well on the post ROH indies.

I think it's pretty easy to think of some sort of motivation. Like, maybe every remaining member on the winning team gets a title shot at whatever the next PPV is. Or even at the Rumble. They just don't bother.

There was one where Ziggler and I think Sting won it, Ziggler came out the next day and did a promo about how all the odds were against him but he did what he always strives to do.... sports-entertain you! and almost immediately he got memory-holed and the story became how Sting won the Survivor Series match with perhaps just a little help from... John Cena!

Are you thinking of the 2004 one where it was Team Orton vs Team HHH? Orton's team won so everyone on it got to be GM of Raw for a week.

Corporation vs. The Solidarity Goofs (Mankind, Test, Et Cetera)

The Solidarity Goofs won and each got to name a match of their choosing (including Test demanding a date with Stephanie) with a member of the corporation and now that I am posting this I realize I don't know if that was a Survivor Series match or just general Russo.

03 Bischoff have his team "a wish"
04 the winning team got to book raw for a week each. Guys, look it up, it was Jericho, Benoit, Orton and yes, Maven.

These both have fantastic character building and somewhat themed shows. It was such a great idea they never did it again.

Vinny V's meltdown at this was amazing.

Also the Team Austin/Team Bischoff match from '03 is the best Survivor Series tag ever.

His week as GM was him booking himself to face HHH for the title. Evolution through the episode bribed him that if unbooked the match, he could join evolution.

Maven chose.......poorly. He then faded away from history.
