Survivor Series 2007 Reactions, Match 2: Diva Five-On-Five Match
Well, here’s something I haven’t seen in … forever. A five-on-five, traditional Survivor Series-style diva match!
But, oh crap, it’s not an elimination match. Which makes the whole thing just a glorified tag match. Which stinks. This is NOT what Survivor Series is supposed to be about.
Still, 10 divas? I was hoping maybe it could work, be fun, even be a decent showcase for the improving ring skills of some of these women.
No such luck. Vinny Mac’s organization may not have WGA writers working for it, making it immune to the writer’s strike, but there’s a clear need for some corporate performance management reviews in terms of how the company is managing some of its talent assets.
With 10 divas active, they have a since women’s title, but split the divas between three shows so that only about four of them on Raw are in the title picture at any one time, and usually are involved in “girlie” matches like the traditional Thanksgiving “gravy” match on SmackDown, or some crap like that.
Even this match wasn’t much of a success; not even all the divas saw action and it was over in only five minutes. Booo-riing!
WINNER: The team led by Mickie James
RATING: 4.5 (The women tried hard, but need more time to build an in-ring story.)
