Loved Dream/Black and the War Games match. Both had mediocre endings, in my opinion, so probably will knock a 1/2* off both. Want to rewatch before posting my full ratings. But right now I'm sitting at;
Sullivan vs. Ohno
**1/2 ... was everything it needed to be for the story. I still love Ohno and wish he was getting a bigger push, but he's kind of a upper card jobber at this point and that's okay too. The match was really short, so maybe my rating is slightly too high but it was very entertaining to for the 5 minutes it ran and told the perfect story to get Lars over more, without making Ohno look bad.
Dream vs. Black
**** ... really great match and had a ton of fun. Black is great and I already knew he was. Dream, I'd only seen some squashes and some Patrick Clark stuff and wasn't really a huge fan of the ring work. I am now. He more then held his own tonight. Great stuff.
Sane vs. Moon vs. Cross vs. Royce
*3/4 ... it was a match. Felt like a main roster match more than an NXT match. That's not a compliment.
Almas vs. McIntyre
***1/2 ... solid effort. Extra 1/2* for the surprising ending. Caught me off guard completely.
War Games
**** ... all out brawl and a ton of fun. Some stuff didn't make sense, but that's what you get in these types of matches. Like the Black/Dream match, taking off 1/2 star for the go home stretch because it just felt like a really weak finish. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure the finish was botched because it looked like Eric Young took the chair shot on purpose which is not good. Great fun though. Props to all 9 guys and hopefully Wolfe is okay!
Overall: Strong show, but not a perfect show like most Takeovers. Survivor Series is the first WWE PPV in a long time that has a legit chance of "winning the weekend."
