WWE Survivor Series 2016: 10 Awesome Moments
Goldberg is the man.
Anyone complaining about what WWE served up at Survivor Series needs to think about handing in their wrestling fan card. Different opinions are part and parcel of the industry, nobody can deny that. However, those in charge managed to create more drama and excitement in one night than they perhaps have all year.
Survivor Series 2016 was a slick card from beginning to end, every match had something to say. Coming out of the pay-per-view, it's safe to state that relying on more than one traditional elimination bout was a successful decision.
It's easy to criticise WWE when they don't get things right, so it's important to acknowledge when they do.
A plethora of high spots peppered the show. So plentiful were the major bumps that they could fill several lists, Survivor Series was a night for frantic action more than anything else. Announce tables were shattered, Shane McMahon looked like he was legitimately out of it and one of WWE's biggest stars was on the receiving end of a squash.
Let's look at the many awesome moments this year's Survivor Series had to offer...
10. JeriKO On The Social Media Lounge
It's hardly shocking news to report that Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho are a riot together. During a recent media interview, Jericho revealed that he and KO agree they have excellent natural chemistry with Tom Phillips. On screen, the announcer unfortunately suffers the brunt of JeriKO's abuse, and it's damn entertaining.
Right before Survivor Series properly started, Jericho and Owens were guests on Phillips's 'Social Media Lounge'. Taking place on the Kickoff Show, the segment was a winner as soon as it started. Furious over the fact his buddy hadn't been invited, Owens brought Y2J on set to join him.
What followed was an example of how crucial organic performances are across a few minutes of improvised mayhem. Showing complete chemistry and a willingness to clown around, Jericho, Owens and Phillips had a blast with this one. Borderline bullying their more serious peer, the tag-team partners could barely prevent themselves from cracking a smile on camera.
There will be those who choose to skip the Kickoff portion. This short skit made it well worthwhile, almost essential viewing before checking out Survivor Series in full.
