Advantages: There were a couple of excellent, well paced matches, some good performances Disadvantages: Many matches not given enough time to grow, some sucky non-wrestlers stealing spotlight
of the boys pretended they were the next Stone Cold Steve Austin, stunning their ?opponents? into oblivion or Triple H, crotch chopping their way through obscenities to fit in with one of the companies premier factions, D Generation X. Both Austin and Triple H are key figures on the pay per view Survivor Series 2003; for one of the men, they?d be fighting for their Championship, the other fighting for their career.
