Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

SlyGuy21 1st Match: The Godwinns, Doug Furnas, and Phil Lafon vs Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, and The New Rockers, 4-on-4 Elimination match. A pretty entertaining match to start the show, what I'm most surprised by is how good Furnas and Lafon are here. I was expecting the heels to win, but they actually let two newbies dominate them for the most part. Rating: 3.5/52nd Match: Undertaker vs Mankind. The special stipulation for this is that Paul Bearer is in a cage above the ring, to stop interference. So with Paul Bearer out of the way, the two guys can have a knockdown, drag-out fight. It's a normal match, but it feels like a No DQ match, because it goes all over the place. The feud these two have going is actually still hot, because they keep adding different matches so they keep from getting stale. Very good match here. Rating: 4/53rd Match: Crush, Goldust, HHH, and Jerry Lawler vs Barry Windham, Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, and The Rock, 4-on-4 Elimination match. This is The Rock's debut PPV match, and even though he's greener than grass, he does a good job here. All the good guys get some time to shine, even if Windham is lackluster. Also thank you for eliminating Lawler first. Another solid match, the only real negative is that Sunny is on commentary for some reason. Rating: 3.5/54th Match: Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. This is Bret's first match in 8 months, and he and Austin have been having this feud since King of the Ring. the crowd is pretty split here, Austin uses his usual mannerisms, and Bret does a great job for not having a match in so long. A 25 minute brawl, that has Austin actually have to use wrestling moves in an attempt to beat Bret. Even with Bret winning, it's not decisive. He runs up the turnbuckle and reverses a sleeper into a pin, so even though he technically wins, Austin's still able to walk away. Just wait till Wrestlemania 13, when these two have the match of the year. Rating: 4.5/55th Match: Jimmy Snuka, Yokozuna, 2 Cold Scorpio, and Savio Vega vs "Diesel", "Razor Ramon", Vader, and Ron Simmons, 4-on-4 Elimination match. If you're wondering why Diesel and Razor's names are in quotation marks, it's because these are the fake versions of them. Kind of infamous, but they don't last long, so it's not that big of a deal. Even Scorpio's appearance is just a huge jab at Hogan. The match only really exists to lampoon Hall, Nash, and Hogan, with the addition of Jimmy Snuka. The match ends in a no contest, but it's pretty entertaining up to that point, so it's not a big deal. Rating: 3/56th Match: Shawn Michaels vs Sid Vicious, WWF Championship. This is the best Sid match I can think of, he dominates most of the match, but Michaels does a great job on defense. An interesting face vs face match, because the crowd is split like with Austin and Bret. Sid hits José Lothario with a camera, and then hits Shawn with it, and then powerbombs him. It's been awhile since there's been a heel champ, so Sid's win here is refreshing. I know who he loses the belt to, but hopefully he can leave a good impression in the few months he has the title. Rating: 4/5Final Rating: 8 out of 10. This is up there with Survivor Series 2002 for me. WWF again decided to use quality over quantity here, and it paid off. Each match on here is watchable, and all of them are entertaining. Definitely give this a watch.

I had very little expectations for it and they went out and produced a really good match. The crowd wasn't that into it, but it's not like they didn't try. I do question the decision to give the win to Furnas and Lafon. I didn't see the point other than to surprise people.***1/2The Undertaker Vs Mankind (W/Paul Bearer)Paul Bearer is suspended above the ring in a cage so he can't interfere. The Undertaker descends down the ring in epic fashion. Undertaker ends up winning with a tombstone. As a result, The Undertaker gets time alone with Paul Bearer. The Executioner comes down and saves Paul Bearer. This is another solid match between these two. They've had better, but it was still a good match. They did some pretty hardcore stuff with the limited options they had.***Marc Mero, Barry Windham, Rocky Maivia & Jake 'The Snake' Roberts Vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Goldust, Crush & Jerry LawlerOrder of elimination.Jerry Lawler by Jake Roberts (DDT)Barry Windham by Goldust (curtain call)Triple H by Marc Mero (moonsault)Marc Mero by CrushJake Roberts by Crush (heart punch)Crush by Rocky Maivia (flying cross-body)Goldust by Rocky Maivia (shoulderbreaker)Sole Survivor: Rocky Maivia"There's gonna be the man right there! That blue chipper" That's what Jim Ross said during Rocky's entrance. Boy was Ross ever right about that. You can't ask for a better debut than this one. He'd go through some rough times when the crowd would turn on him, but he looked good here. As far as the match goes, that's a different story. If it wasn't for The Rock's debut, this match would be utterly forgettable.**Bret Hart Vs 'Stone Cold' Steve AustinBoth get big reactions on their way out. Bret wins by countering Austin's Million Dollar Dream. Everyone talks about the amazing submission match between Bret and Austin at Wrestlemania 13, but nobody gives this match the praise it deserves. This is an exhilarating match that completely stole the show. They incorporated a little bit of everything in this one. Austin looked like a star as well. I was close to giving it 5 stars. ****3/4 Farooq, Fake Razor Ramon, Fake Diesel & Vader Vs Savio Vega, Yokozuna, Flash Funk, & Jimmy SnukaOrder of elimination.Savio Vega by Diesel (jackknife powerbomb)Razor Ramon by Jimmy Snuka (big splash from the top)Diesel comes in with a chair and attacks Snuka with it. All hell breaks loose when everybody starts brawling with each other and the referee rules it a double disqualification. This matched seemed a bit rushed. It wasn't horrible, but it was pretty mediocre. The finish just screams "time restraints"*1/2WWF ChampionshipShawn Michaels (C) (W/Jose Lothario) Vs Psycho SidSid drills Jose Lothario in the chest with a camera. Shawn gets distracted by tending to Lothario. Sid drills Shawn in the back of the head with a camera. Sid delivers a powerbomb to win the WWF Championship. I'm a big Psycho Sid fan. He's very charismatic and a real badass. That being said, his wrestling skills are not that good. That's not why we loved Sid. This is one of Sid's best matches. It featured good psychology and excitement. The atmosphere is electric. The crowd was hostile towards Shawn, and booed him loudly while the crowd adored Sid. A title change was needed at this juncture.***1/2This is a very good PPV. The main event is really good, it featured a couple of good undercard matches, and Bret and Austin is a near classic match. I recommend this PPV highly.7/10

Terryfan Survivor Series has been a Pay Per View known for the debuts of many famous WWF wrestlers and this one was no different taking place in Madison Square Garden in New York City this Survivor Series shows how well it can be given the chance.Now let's review the show.1. Doug Furnas, Phil Lafon and The Godwinns (Henry O and Phineas I) VS Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) Survivor Series Elimination Match. Now this being the opening match it has to be clever and convincing to get the fans into the show and it did a good match.Rating: 7 out of 102. The Undertaker vs Mankind. Paul Bearer was forced to hang in a cage over the arena. The Undertaker and Mankind in 1996 had a very good feud and many original match types came into wake from this feud. This match proves why both men did great together plus seeing Paul hanging over the ring is something you don't see these days. Both men gave us a war in the match plus the Undertaker's entrance was amazing when he came into the arena from the roof with a giant cape like batman. Rating: 9 out of 103.Marc Mero, Rocky Maivia, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Stalker vs Crush, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Goldust Survivor Series Elimination Match. This match features the debut of the man would later become known as The Rock. This match was very solid as you can expect in a Elimination Survivor Series match. Everyone did pretty well in this match and shows what was to become of Rocky Maivia.Rating: 8 out of 104. Bret "Hitman" Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold challenge Bret to come out of retirement to face him and he got his wish. Bret help put Stone Cold over with the fans as both men would give us a feud like no other. Both men work a strong match and told a great story in the match both men just went to war in the match.Rating: 9 out of 105.Faarooq,Vader, Razor Ramon and Diesel VS Flash Funk, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Savio Vega, and Yokozuna Survivor Series Elimination Match. I have seen better matches and this match just could have been better if it had a clue win. Rating: 6 out of 10 6. Sycho Sid vs Shawn Michaels for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Now this being the main event it has to be right and lucky it was enough to close out the show as both men went to war for the WWF title. Shawn was given a strong year as the WWF Champion in 1996 and now he face a giant challenge at Survivor Series.Rating: 8 out of 10Overall this is one of the strongest Survivor Series and best WWF PPVS that has been made and shows why it was fun to be a Wrestling fan. Check it out.I give WWF Survivor Series 1996 an 8 out of 10

bh_tafe3 Shawn Michaels failed title run came to an end, much to pleasure of the crowd Bret Hart returned to PPV and had a classic with Steve Austin, Mankind and Undertaker's never ending rivalry continued and some young punk named Rocky Maivia made his PPV debut on this entertaining show that marked a return to form by the WWE after some fairly mediocre PPVs throughout 1996. Maybe it was being back in their traditional home of Madison Square Garden that finally bought the best out of them.The night started off with the ECW Tag Team of Doug Furnas and Phil Lafond teaming up with the Godwinns (Phineas and Henry) to defeat Owen Hart, the British Bulldog, Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy in a Survivor Series match. The match went a fair while before Jannetty was eliminated by Henry Godwinn, who was almost immediately eliminated by the opportunistic Owen Hart. Phineas was eliminated following a running power slam from the British Bulldog a short time later. Lafon was able to square things up, eliminating Leif Cassidy with a sweet suplex from the second rope. Lafon also eliminated the Bulldog following a schoolboy to leave he and Furnas against Owen Hart. Hart dug deep, but eventually fell to Furnas after a suplex leaving Furnas and Lafon as the Survivors in an entertaining match.The next match saw the never ending feud between Mankind and Undertaker continue. Undertaker had been buried alive in the previous PPV, despite winning his match against Mankind and here he was able to win a standard one on one match. The rivalry had just about run out of puff by this stage. Two guys can only meet a certain number of times before they start going over old ground.Next it was time for another four on four Survivor Series match, and for Rocky Maivia (or as he was later known The Rock) to make his first PPV appearance. And he made quite an impression too, being the sole Survivor as his team, which included Marc Mero, Jake Roberts and Barry Windham (or the stalker as he was now called) defeated Crush, Jerry Lawaler, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Goldust. Roberts pinned Lawler after a fair bit of wrestling. Goldust evened things up a short time time later, pinning Windham, Mero then pinned Helmsley after a Merosault, but was himself eliminated by Crush a short time later. Jake Roberts was the next to go seconds later, leaving the Rock to eliminate Crush after a flying body press and then take out Goldust with shoulderbreaker. This was longer than the opening match, but that doesn't make it better. But at least it wasn't terrible.The next match was one of the greatest wrestling matches in WWE history as the returning Bret Hart faced Stone Cold Steve Austin with the winner to become the No.1 contender for the WWE Title. Hart looked like he'd never been gone. Austin looked as good as he'd looked throughout his WWE run and the crowd was on the edge of their seats as Hart overcame Austin, countering a sleeper into a pinning predicament to win one of the very best matches ever seen at Madison Square Garden.Next up saw what I believe is the only Survivor Series match ever to not have a single survivor. The Team of Vader, Faarooq, the New Diesel and Razor Ramon II fought to a no contest with Flash Funk, Jimmy Snuka, Savio Vega and Yokozuna. Vega was eliminated following a jack knife from the New Diesel, Razor was pinned after a superfly splash from Snukka and the other six guys were simultaneously counted out after brawling. The New Diesel and Razor II were both characters introduced by Jim Ross as part of a rather silly storyline which was quickly abandoned. New Diesel went on to become Kane and have a long, successful career. Razor II didn't work out.This brings us to the main event which saw the turn coat Sycho Sid defeat Shawn Michaels after taking out his manager Jose Lothario as a distraction and then clocking Michaels with a TV camera. Despite the fact Sid was obviously the bad guy in this story, the MSG crowd poured out thunderous approval on Sid. I think, like a lot of us, they were a little sick of Shawn Michaels as Champion and were glad to see someone new and different win the belt. This was not a terrible match either. A real shame that the talented Michaels just never quite worked as a fan favourite champion.One of the best WWE matches of all time, a well done World title change and some fun elimination tag matches added up to make Survivor Series 1996 the best PPV since Wrestlemania 12's one match card. A night to be remembered fondly for anyone who watched WWE wrestling in 1996.
