In the glory days, Survivor Series was considered one of WWE's "big four" events, a must-see pay-per-view centered around a unique concept featuring multi-man elimination matches that would often blow off feuds and ignite new ones. But that era is long gone, and the luster of the once-great show has dimmed considerably. The November classic has been relegated to a B-level show, with very little of any importance taking place, but this year WWE has attempted to rectify that by giving us a traditional Survivor Series main event with high stakes. If Team Cena is victorious over Team Authority, then Triple H, Stephanie and company are out of power, but if Team Cena falls victim to their opponents they're all fired. To the outside observer this all sounds fairly compelling. Fans have been clamoring for the return of the 5-on-5 elimination matches as the standard for years, and the 2014 installment has something big on the line. But for those of us who've been watching, we've seen booking that's all over the place, gigantic leaps in logic and a disjointed build to what should be a major show for WWE. All during a month when they're giving away the Network for free in an attempt to hook subscribers. So let's get into 8 reasons why the Survivor Series booking has made no sense at all.
