One of 2006's stronger PPVs. The opener is a nice nostalgic trip with the WWE Legends facing Spirit Squad. Undertaker vs Mr. Kennedy's rivalry intensifies in First Blood and I think that this helped Undertaker stay relevant as well as show off the skills and elevate Mr. Kennedy. Batista and Booker is a more than acceptable effort and the Team DX v Team Rated RKO elimination match is a good, well rounded contest. Worth grabbing this.

WWE Survivor Series 2006 is an alright paper view. The Survivor Series Elimination matches are very entertaining and The First Blood Match between The Undertaker and Mr.Kenendy is nasty and brutal and we see in this match the sickiest steel chair shot by The Undertaker on Mr.Kenendy. The rest of the matches though are boring and drab. I hate king bookers style of wrestling and its no surprise I hate the main event. The Elimination Matches and The First Blood Match keeps the event ticking but the rest fails to entertain. PPV RATING 7/10

possibly the strongest card of the year, survivor series 2006 is packed with superb matches. hightlihts are the traditional survivor series match featuring team rated RKO vs team DX, first blood between mr kennedy & the undertaker and the world title match between booker t & batista. every match acheives its aim & at no point is the action slow or drab. the addition to of the 1st ever survivor series main event is a bonus that is another reason to own this superb dvd. SWEEEEEET!!!

Nice edition of the Survivors Series. DX is at the top, Cena seems to be the new Hulk Hogan, Batista vs Booker T reaches a good level and all the matches are interesting, yes the legends vs the spirit squad too.
Then the extras, with a match of the first edition of the Survivor Series featuring Hogan, Andre the Giant and other great wrestlers of the gimmick era: very nice and a bit of nostalgia.

WWE Survivor Series is one of my favorite WWE events I like the traditional Survivor Series elimination matches but on this event it just feels like squash matches and some could of gone a whole lot better. With this been the 20th Survivor Series there should of been better matches and a big celebration sadly not much to be happy about. Please note the review may contain spoilers.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Simmons & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Kenny, Johnny, Nicky & Mikey]

To be honest I am not a fan of Ric Flair but I respect him the only guy I did like in this match was Ron Simmons cause to me he's entertaining and was great back in the APA with JBL. The match is not bad but it just puts me off with the Spirit Squad been in the match as that team just sucked honestly they did annoy me.

United States Championship Match [Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero]

The build up to this match was quite good and the match was fairly decent and Chavo does improve during the match but for me it's not one match that I could keep attention to. But I have seen all this before.

Women's Championship Match [Lita vs. Mickie James]

I like Lita but she got nothing but disrespected I know shes done bad things but fans calling her nasty things is just wrong (I won't say what the fans chanted) after everything she did in WWE. This is her final WWE event and the match before she retired like Trish Stratus did back at Unforgiven 2006. Trish got to leave with the title but sadly for Lita she loses it and just gets a whole load of disrespect well she was playing the heel. You got Cryme Tyme selling some of Lita's personal stuff the thing was a little funny just I would of liked to have seen Lita got the respect she deserves she has done a lot for WWE and the fans. As for the match Mickie James and Lita do both put on a good match.

Traditional Survivor Series match [D-Generation X, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, Edge, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms & Mike Knox]

This match I should say is just like a squash match I like Team D-X and Team Rated RKO but some of this match was pathetic. Mike Knox is the first one out only been in the match for 5 seconds before Shawn Michaels hits a Sweet Chin Music on Knox then he's out. I am going to skip to the end Rated RKO get dominated leaving none of Team D-X to get eliminated I think Randy Orton and Edge should of at least had a chance. The Hardys do offer some great work during the match which I do think they are one of the greatest teams in WWE any of there matches or involved in are enjoyable. Just a shame that no one from Team D-X didn't get eliminated.

First Blood Match [Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy]

Mr Kennedy is on a losing streak on the PPV's in 2006 wasn't he well he lost at No Mercy a month before this event and lost a month after in the fantastic Last Ride Match at Armageddon 2006. Mr Kennedy makes Undertaker bleed first but then Mr Kennedy gets a hell of a beating. This match is enjoyable both Undertaker and Kennedy do work well together in the match but I recommend checking out the match from Armageddon 2006 it is the better match.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Big Show, Umaga, Finlay, MVP & Test]

We all knew the out come of this match Cena Team was going to win well Umaga gets himself eliminated he gets the monitors and starts hitting other wrestlers I think it was Sabu and RVD I didn't pay much attention. The best part of the match for me was Test big boot to RVD's face it just looked fantastic. The most annoying though about this match is the likes of RVD, Sabu, Kane just teaming up with Cena to me it's just a weird team. Sabu hardly gets a chance if this was the old ECW this guy would take more damage but no gets eliminated after a chokeslam from the Big Show if it was the old ECW he would of kicked out of it. Then we get Bobby Lashley who just thinks he's a total power house and no one can beat him but he's just boring. This match is worth skipping.

World Heavyweight Championship Match [King Booker vs. Batista]

The promo bit before the match was put together well and I did enjoy this match until the end. King Booker gets a lot of the offence on Batista but the ending has King Booker having the title and trying to hit Batista he dodges out of the way Batista gets the title and hits Booker with it and theres a new champion.

DVD Extras

Todd Grisham interviews Lita after her match - This is a good extra Lita talks about how she hated been disrespected by the fans and what happened. She also states about if she will return which she does say never say never. This is a good segment which I do wish Lita will return in the future Lita and Trish are the best WWE Women in WWE because they can wrestle. Lita is not acting as a heel in this interview she sounds more face.

Mr. McMahon's Kiss My Ass Cartoon - This was featured on wwe.com it's not bad its just weird. If you have not seen it look for it as it will be on the internet somewhere maybe still on wwe.com if you like McMahon lifting weights with his Ass you may find it entertaining just why does it have to be on the 20th Survivor Series DVD.

Main Event of Survivor Series '87 [Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Paul Orndorff, Ken Patera & Don Muraco vs. Andre the Giant, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, Butch Reed & King Kong Bundy] - This match features JBL and Michael Coal doing commentary and to be honest I hate 80's wrestling I like it back from 1997 up to now. The problems I have is getting used to older wrestling.

Overall: I think Survivor Series 2006 is a bit disappointing as I still find 2001 and 2002 are highly the best Survivor Series of all time. The matches on this just could of been great and some just felt like a pure let down. But I will tell you the best matches I thought of this event so here we go Undertaker VS Kennedy, Team Rated RKO VS Team D-X, King Booker VS Batista, Mickie James VS Lita was quite good. WWE did improve by adding an extra match but to be honest I would of liked to have seen some of Kennedy's segments on The Undertaker as they were great. Something I do enjoy is JBL's commentary some of the stuff he comes up with is funny which makes it entertaining and enjoyable to watch. If you do collect WWE DVD's like me it is worth adding to the collection I would give this 7/10.
