WWE: Survivor Series 2021

It might be a sad state of affairs as to how wrestling’s changed, but there not being any sort of forced stakes makes this show more “fun” to me. I think it was Rebellion 2001 — but I was reading this thing about underrated PPVs, and they were talking about how at the time no one really cared about the UK PPVs, but because they didn’t really “matter,” they come off like house shows and are actually a lot of fun in retrospect.

Survivor Series isn’t about what modern fans want it to be about anymore. From
2016-2018 it had this string of really memorable Brock Lesnar work. And as much as I don’t care about brand supremacy, those matches are always rated highly and considered a fun 40 minutes or whatever they are.

Becky vs. Charlotte has an intrigue factor right now. RKBro vs. Usos should be a lot of fun. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Damian Priest is actually one of the more curious things to me, because they’re both babyfaces.

And I think the reason they do this so soon after the draft is partially so the layperson can see which wrestlers are on each show now. Like it really matters. But I think that’s the psychology there.
