I enjoyed the women's personally, could've been better,of course but I've seen a lot worse. The mens was a little bit of a drag but the Sami stuff saved it for me.

In many many ways...the men's Wargames just served as a way to develop the Sami storyline. I couldn't ever see the Bloodline losing...especially against the lineup that they had.

I think the major takeaway from the Survivor Series War Games was the Bloodline story that the men’s match told. It’s a defining moment in the entirety of the Bloodline’s story similar to the cell match with Roman and Jey and it was tremendous.
The typical psychology of the match was switched up to tell that story with Zayn and his loyalty so I don’t mind that it was less of a “banger”

I do. Some of my favorite wrestling to watch. Goddamn the dynamic between Sami/jey/ Roman in this match was special. Lightning in a bottle generational kind of story.

Real talk though, 75% of the WCW War Games matches were boring as sh**. If amazing storytelling like The Bloodline and Sami is tarnishing the match for you maybe you’re most suited to be watching something more your speed like Billy Corgans NWA. Or Shawn Spears matches.

I've never seen a bad War Games and I've never seen a truly amazing one. They serve their purpose. It's all in the booking and storytelling for me, both matches succeeded in imo.
Literally the only issue I had this year is that there seemed to be a lot of waiting about for the next spot to happen.

WWE's version feels a lot more rehearsed than WCW's. WCW's always felt like a brawl, which can be very ugly at times. lol I'm not saying one method is better than the other but WWE's definitely feel a lot more rehearsed and planned to the absolute smallest detail.

I didn't mind the WarGames stuff too much, but for the love of all that's holy, could we have had at least ONE traditional Survivor Series elimination match?! Survivor Series is my second-favorite PPV (sorry; PREMIUM LIVE EVEN) of the year for those elimination matches alone. There were plenty of unused talents that could have been thrown together on teams quickly. Time may have been an issue, but heck! Make it a less than 10-minute match with quick eliminations, and skip a couple of those way-too-long recaps that they showed multiple times. Just my $0.02, of course.

I would have much preferred the tag between Judgment Day & OC from Raw the following Monday on the Survivor Series card.
Or even like New Day/Elias/Riddle/Braun vs. Imperium & Alpha Academy.

Maybe modify the rules to allow different flow?
It was a nice change in pace. I think I was expecting little bit more. The main event wargames was really good in the last 10 minutes. Was expecting more high spots but it told good story. I think hopefully by next year more improvements are made. I thought it was good step forward even if it wasn’t perfect.

He has the gonads to bump an old thread just realized you weren't a solo Trios Champ 😆 for like a week I was like "huh, that's a strange thing to have in your name" then I seen the other two in the same thread and it clicked. Much smart, such genius.
