Major Thumbs Up!

 

Best: Amir vs Baroni

Worst: Thiago vs. Volkmann

From the Prelims on Spike to the Main Event, just about every fight was exciting. I would like to have seen another two rounds to the main event. I think it’s time that UFC tweaks some rules. At about 9:15, the Hooters I watch most UFC PPV’s was already pretty full. I’m predicting over 750k buys.

Best Match: Cena vs. Michaels vs. Triple H
Worst Match: Divas Tag Match
 
I can't go thumbs down because there was really only one bad match on the show, but I was not blown away by this year's survivor series.  The main event was good, but everything else was only average.  I thought the crowd also hurt a lot of the matches.  Not a good show, in my opinion, but I have seen worse.

What I thought was an average tv quality event saved only by a good eliminatiion match (Orton vs Kofi) and a good (but not great) main event - overall THUMB IN THE MIDDLE.
 
Best Match: HHH vs Cena vs Michaels
Worst Match: Rey vs Batista (tv squash on a ppv)
 
Thanks

Definite thumbs up from me!  I was kinda surprised they delivered such a great show.
 
Best match: Cena-HHH-Michaels
 
Worst match: Divas, but even that wasn't bad with lots of action

Thumbs Up

Best Match: Team Kofi v Team Orton

Worst Match: Divas Match

  At least it's possible that without the 50/50 booking, Kofi might turn into a legit main event draw for the promotion.

   But really, who else can Cena work with on top? Unless they give Swagger a monster (and surprise) run as a contender, it's back to more repeats.

  Other than that, a pretty solidly worked show with predictable booking. I was surprised to see Michelle McCool booked 1-on-2 in the ladies match, but then again, the announcers were so busy putting her over like a super babyface ("The only woman in WWE history to hold the Divas and Ladies championships...") that I guess she might as well be.

Good show. Crowd loved Batista. Too many pro DC promos I guess. Kofi
was over big but only with Orton - otherwise as you said it was dead.
Show had his knee wrapped and limped bigger than life - what's up?

Thumps Way UP!
Best Match: (TIE) Tito vs. Forrest and Koscheck vs. Johnson
Worst Match: None: All good fights.
 
This was a last minute buy for me after Lesnar vs. Carwin match fell
through.  The Tito/Forrest build was really well done by UFC production
company sucked me in.  I am glad I decided to order this PPV.  The from
the first fight to the last night, this was a great and exciting show. 
Glad to see Forrest is back.  Tito claimed he was hurt, but seemed like
the injuries he listed the Athletic Commission wouldn't let him fight. 
Maybe it was just Tito trying to make excuses.
 
Koscheck vs. Johnson had the most heat of all the fights.   Once the
replay of Johnson knee to Koscheck's face on the ground was shown with
camera angle clearly showing Johnson connected to Koscheck's wrist and
not his left eye.  What a heel that Koscheck was with that.  Honestly,
even though Koscheck won, everyone watching it me wants to see a
rematch between these two.  Koscheck's heel promo sealed our hatred for
him.
