I have expressed my disinterest lately in the big tag matches between John Cena, Cryme Tyme vs JBL, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. It seems like they just keep putting the same match on week after week. Even putting Batista and Kane in the mix at Saturday Night's Main Event didn't even make it an entertaining match! But I found a tag match with a bunch of wrestlers that was...
Being that it's Sunday and no pay-per-view, I was needing a little bit of wrestling to watch. So, I searched around the internet and found a match that was a tag match that consisted of 10 wrestlers. It was at Survivor's Series 2006. The match was a five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match. Anyone remember this? It was Team DX (Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Matt and Jeff Hardy and CM Punk) vs Team Rated-RKO (Edge, Randy Orton, Johnny Nitro w/Melina, Gregory Helms and Mike Knox w/Kelly Kelly).
First out was the Hardy Boyz...TEAM XTREME! Yeah Baby! Then we had CM Punk followed by DX who, as usual, got a huge crowd response!!! Ooooo..chills just thinking about it! In traditional DX fashion they did the "ARE YOU READY!?" The best group of wrestlers, EVER!
First one eliminated was Mike Knox. Just a few seconds after the match started. He was pinned by HBK. Then it was Johnny Nitro vs Shawn Michaels. After bouncing off the ropes a few times, Michaels slid out of the ring and puts his arm around Melina. Melina thinking it was Nitro, put her arm around Michaels. She looked up and screamed and fell backwards. It was HILARIOUS!!!
Switching up we had CM Punk fighting Johnny Nitro. After applying the Anaconda Vise, Nitro tapped out. Two now eliminated from Team Rated-RKO. Maybe I am wrong but I haven't seen Punk use this move in a long time. I think it looks good and he should start using again. This match was awesome! There were bodies flying everywhere, submission moves, high-flying maneuvers, and a few power moves. It was all here!
Moving on closer to the end of the match...Matt eliminates Gregory Helms and then Edge and Orton are outside looking in at the still whole Team DX. They decide to take off, running up the entrance ramp. They get thrown back in the ring by the Hardys. This led to everyone in the ring getting in the action. Punches were being thrown at Edge and Orton by HBK and Triple H. Orton then gets clotheslined out of the ring by Triple H. On the other side of the ring, Punk charges at Edge in the corner with a knee to the face, followed by Poetry in Motion by the Hardys, then a Sweet Chin Music by HBK and pinned. Only one left...is Orton. Five on one. Team DX was in the ring staring down Orton on the outside when Orton tried to make a break for it over the guard rail. The Hardys and Punk chase him and Matt throws him back into the ring and Orton get Sweet Chin Music and then The Pedigree...1-2-3! Team DX WINS!!! Man, that was a GREAT match!
This was obviously a good tag match with more than 2 on a team. Unlike the Cena, Cryme Tyme vs JBL, Rhodes and DiBiase. These were all extremely talented performers. I really miss Gregory Helms. Hopefully he's coming back soon! Hopefully, this blog will make most of you want to go find this match! I know I enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
