Finally Matt gets a shot at PPV. I see him eliminate early, but at least he'll be on.

meh...... none of the midcard heels that aren't already booked in matches are crap. Tensai, Otunga neither have won a match in months. Yeah but at least Otunga is jobbing on Raw. Tensai can't even win on Superstars. either way neither of them have any draw power what so ever, neither of them deserve the spot. I'd much rather see Ricardo Rodriguez fill the spot, we know he isn't gonna actually help towards a win, but it'd add a little bit of comedy to the match.

Ugh, just call him Albert or something and get it over with. Tensai sucks.

Tensai is more than capable of having a good solid match. The only reason he flopped was the gimmick. If he went back to A-Train and was just a beast he'd be fine. So I'm all for him being on Team Ziggler.

I was just starting to like Rhodes too. It's a shame he's injured, but if Tensai takes his spot at Survivor Series, I guess that'll be cool too.

Best way to rectify the problem in my opinion?
Have an announcement on WWE.com that Rhodes won't be able to compete at the pay-per-view and announce it also on the pre-show and the PPV opening. Have Miz later in the night cutting his first ever face promo only to be interrupted by the newly re-hired and finally heel - John Morrison.
I know a lot of people (including myself) don't really like JoMo but at the end of the day, it would be a solution which makes sense. It would result in a return worthy of the Survivor Series and it would result in some fans re-investing emotion into what is at this point a stupid match.

I was just going to come in here and bitch and complain because there was literally no one left capable of taking Rhodes' spot and keeping me interested in the match. After reading that though, man, if JoMo returned in any way, shape, or form, I'd probably squeal like a little girl. I'm not counting on it, but that would be awesome.

Horrible move, but there's really no one that can do it, short of pulling Sandow as well and replacing them with the Primetime Players.
If he's in, he'll likely be eliminated almost immediately.
Or just have Cesaro pull double duty.

Or just have Cesaro pull double duty. I'd be ok with this honestly. I'm a big fan of Rhodes and Sandow but in order to work around the issue why not let PTPs take them out and steal their spot in the match. No honor among heel tag teams. If it does end up being Tensai though, this seems like a lot of banter for a guy that isn't going to be in the match that long.

I doubt Tensai is Rhodes replacement in the tag team, he just his replacement in.the SS match.

Cody did look like he was really dazed after that backdrop.. I wonder if that changed the finish at all? Anyway, Tensai... Well, as some have said before this SS doesn't look too impressive to begin with. Honestly it just goes to show how thin their roster is, or well... it's not that they don't have the talent it's just that they don't build up enough guys.
I mean let's take Ziggler as an example, he's probably one of the most entertaining guys out there right now in that midcard spot and really he should be up to that main event level but they've got him jobbing week in week out... Sure he's got his MITB briefcase and we all know he'll end up being the champ at some point but for how long honestly? How credible is Ziggler going to be as a champion when you've got him jobbing out for everyone every single week? God the guy has even jobbed for Zack Ryder in the last year... and you want him to be a credible main eventer? The only reason this guy is still as "hot" as he is is because he's just so damned talented and the fans can see that. But that does not change the fact that they need to get behind him (and other guys) and actually dare and push them).
Let's take Wade Barret... a so-called future World Champions... yet, whenever he faces anyone of note they've either got him jobbing out or all his wins are due to interference or what not... how do you want him to become a credible competitor for their main faces like Orton and Cena if he never has a chance to win in a clean cut one on one? I mean, they bring him back slightly re-packaged they go the good way and then after a month they've got him jobbing for Orton again because they need to give Orton something to do... same with Ziggler jobbing to Orton and still Ziggler is being put in the same storylines with Vickie Guerrero. I was really hopefull a few months ago when it seemed that Ziggler was going down a solo route without Vickie but they just totally forgot about that it seems.
If WWE wants to avoid these kind of dreadfull scenarios where they really lack the starpower to fill up a 3-hour PPV propperly (especially a big one like Survivor Series) then they need to start building up guys more and keep pushing them! Bring up some guys from developmental... Chris Hero isn't getting any younger, they've had him down there for a while and he's 33 years old... do they expect if they bring him 4 years that he'll still be able to go for 10 years after the brutal career he's had so far? Honestly?
Ziggler, Kingston, Barret, Miz, Bryan, Cesaro are all guys that SHOULD be in a noteworthy feud/title chase... I hope they're going to give the IC championship the credibility back from it's glory days (though that seems impossible at this point) but why don't you have some more significant guys compete for that title? Atleast try and bring it back to it's former glory... Drop that US championship bring back the European championship for the lower midcard to compete over... introduce a Cruiserweight division and bring back that Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight championship... Give guys like Justin Gabriel something to do that means something appart from that Tag Team championship there's other ways to build up guys then putting them int he tag team division that untill recently didn't mean anything anyway. The X-Division championship has worked for TNA, the Cruiserweight division worked for WCW to put talented guys on the map (despite lack of propper booking in WCW).
You've got nearly 6 hours to fill every week with RAW, ME & SD! so what's keeping them from re-introducing the Cruserweight title/EU Title (or change the US title in to what that used to be) and put more emphasis on the IC title. Why do we even still have a WHC title when the Brands are all meshed up now anyway? Make it one top championship... that would you a much larger pool of Main Eventer in that title picture.. you can go back to the HIAC Armageddon days where you had a lineup with guys like Angle, Taker, HHH, Rock, Mankind, ... it's not like they don't have 6-7 Main Event guys it's just that they're spread so thin because of the double title system... And let the guys who are "almost at that level" compete over something noteworthy... I mean look at when CM Punk was WHC back in '09 (I think? or was it '10?) the belt meant less then what the IC title was when Michaels and Hall were competing over it... So many possibilities they just need to dare to revamp stuff and to admit that certain formulas just don't work. They've got the talent but they need to have ways of elevating them. If you're going to jump from lower midcard to Main event just because there's a lack of Main Event guys in a certain "top title bracket" (because they've got two) then you're going to end up with Elimination Chamber matches with a Kofi Kingston who's honestly got absolutely no credible chance at winning (while he should because he's a talented guy and should be build up propperly but yet again whilst he's the IC champion they've got him taking beating by Del Rio...)
They should protect their "future Main Eventers" like Ziggler, Barret and Kingston (and others) instead of over exposing them in matches with the current main event guys just to build those guys even more... (or for a quick build as they did with Ryback). Yeah I'm sure it doesn't hurt Miz who was in the Main event of WM 28 to job out in 2 minutes... stop jobbing out your prospects!
I'm not saying these guys should never lose, but they shouldn't be jobbed out week in and week out as they're doing with some of their biggest prospects. I don't know where their heads are when they write the shows but honestly what the hell? Michael Hayes probably goes like this at the creative meetings: "so who shall we have Dolph job for this week?" Instead of building this guy up so that when he does finally cash in he's not just a nobody champion like his first reign...
And it doesn't seem likely that the Heel team will win because Punk should normally already be going over in the Main Event.. you know how WWE feels about not giving the crowd their "feel good moment" at the end of the night. Or should I say... the kids... because I think 90 % of the people would crap their pants of joy if the heels won nowadays.

I really like Tensai and I think they gave up on him way too early. I wouldnt blame him for going back to Japan but it would be a shame. I hope they build him back up and survivorseries is a great place to start. Yeah a good performance at Survivor Series would be a great place to start pushing him again. He should end up US champ at some point. It would make a lot of sense as he could deface it as he "used" to be American. I agree with you there. I suggested Tensai and Yoshi Tatsu in a tag team. The Rising Sons. That would be epic! Shouldn't it be spelt "sun" otherwise they would be sons as in father and son lol.[/quote] I was thinking that they would be the sons of Japan. The Rising Sons
