Survivor Series results

Alright, yours truely is back on track with his WWE PPV picks. I managed to go 5-2 last night. (I tossed out the Edge vs. Kane match because it ended in a draw.) So now my record is up again, this time to 270-237. I gotta say thank you to Dolph Ziggler; Daniel Bryan; Natalya; Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel; and Big Show, Chris Masters, Kofi Kingston, MVP & Rey Mysterio. Sadly, Wade Barrett and Sheamus kept me from going undefeated. Well, can't win them all. See ya at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.

So Bragging Rights was not good to me last month, but now, we have reached my all-time favorite WWE PPV card (for purposes other than my record). That is Survivor Series. It's always a fun show with lots of quality matches, and when you look at the card for this year, it looks like something special. Right now, my record is 265-235, so I need to get an eletrical charge to rejuvenate it after my recent slump. So to do that, my picks for tonight's show are Wade Barrett; Edge; Dolph Ziggler; Daniel Bryan; Natalya; Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel; Big Show, Chris Masters, Kofi Kingston, MVP & Rey Mysterio; and Sheamus. Wish me luck.
