Survivor Series is this Sunday so it's time for the GRAPL predictions. But first a recap of the rules. I suggest some of you read this as every question I was asked during the bonus round was already addressed in here. Never be afraid to ask a question but don't be a lazy sod either.

GRAPL is simple to play. The Friday before every WWE PPV this year I'll post up a prediction sheet. You enter your predictions and post the sheet. For every one you get right you earn points and points are tallied up on the leaderboard. If you are top of the leaderboard after Wrestlemania next year then you win!

Same as last year you can change your predictions as many times as you like up till the 11pm Sunday deadline. Anyone found to be editing posts after that will be disqualified from that PPV. Any changes to the PPV after I've posted the prediction form will be ignored and the predictions for that match will be null and void. You can enter as little PPV's as you like.

SURVIVOR
The side games are back and this time it's really simple. So simple even Deadpool could wrap his tiny mind around it. You predict as normal and get points as normal. BUT you'll also see who can survive the longest during the PPV. Get the first match right you move on, get it wrong and you're eliminated. Get the second match right and you move on etc. The person or persons to survive furthest get 5 bonus points. Only the overall winner predictions apply to this game.

Also as Survivor Series is ripe for predictions there will be more points up for grabs than usual.

Shouldn't it be Survivor(s)?

[Zellery]

You know, not all survivor series matches finish with one survivor.

[Corazon de Leon]

Fozzy touring = WINFAX, but only if they do a UK tour. I saw them during their last tour in 2005.

Also, strawberry float you Rog. strawberry float you up your humongous arsehole.

Raw did a 3.5, up from recent weeks. The programme also gained viewers in the second hour (5.18 million). - the main event & the lure of a Piper/McMahon showdown obviously working.

Watching the main event of Turning Point now. I was rewatching In Your House 14 (first In Your House on Sky Sports fact fans) & forgot TNA: TP was on. Back in the iMPACT Zone, I see.


Rey Mysterio will be taking time off shortly. If Jericho leaves too, that'll really harm the Smackdown side.

[Zellery]

When exactly was the last time JeriShow defended their tag titles, does anyone know?

Decent of you

[Balloon Sod]

AJ/Daniels/Joe was absolutely brilliant. Wolfe/Angle was, IMO, even better.

I loved the monkey flip spot. In their 1st match, Daniels flipped AJ onto Joe, and he gave him a hurricarana. In the 2nd match, Joe had learnt from his mistake, and caught AJ and put him in the Boston crab. However, Daniels broke it up almost straight away. In this match, Joe throws AJ onto Daniels straight away to take them both out.

I love little touches like that.

I think Angle/Wolfe was brilliant in its simplicity; Kurt had to use a load of moves he doesn't normally do to beat Wolfe, as Wolfe knows everything about him. If you notice, Wolfe dominates when Angle uses his standard moveset. As soon as he mixes it up a bit, he starts to win.

[Skippy]

Loved both matches but the triple threat edges it for me, pretty much faultless. Amazing stuff, loved the Screw Hulk Hogan chant too

[Poncho]

AJ Styles really is something else. Phenomenal doesn't do him justice.

I think Survivor Series will the beginning of the end for both DX and Jerishow, and it's a major PPV so that's why I think one of the titles will change hands. Kinda points to HHH atm but I don't see it happening. I think the two matches will start unrest then we'll get a TLC match between DX and Jerishow at the PPV formerly known as Armageddon where both teams explode.

One can dream anyway

[KK]

As DX are featured prominently together in the new Raw intro video, I can't see them changing it so soon...thus I don't see them splitting up just yet.

[Mockmaster]

Looking forward to winning yet another Blu-Ray this month.
