Good afternoon all and welcome to the greatest armchair booking column in the history of the Internet Wrestling Community, The Fink’s Payload.

I would hope that the majority of you are familiar with how this works by now, but if not, go here.

So without further ado, onto the 153rd edition of The Fink’s Payload!

Last Week’s Homework: Book the Survivor Series card.

I know, I know, the Survivor Series card is pretty much announced now, rendering this week’s column somewhat superfluous, and that’s my fault for missing last week. Apologies for that, but sometimes these things can’t be avoided.

Another problem I have is that a number of your entries somehow got sent to my junk mail inbox, which means they got deleted without me having a chance to put the column together. So if you’re one of those who sent in an entry but didn’t see it here, sorry about that. Still, we’re ploughing on as normal…

Kicking us off today is NYGIANTSFAN422 with some crazy ass ideas;

At Raw Monday night, Paul Heyman returns to the WWE and talks about how years ago in WCW he managed a stable called the Dangerous Alliance and he said this to effect “Raw will watch out with one of the members I ask to be in the Dangerous Alliance and he will be here tonight!”

So Raw GM Mike Adamle announced that a classic match will make its return in a 10 year delay and it will be a War Games Match. As the night wore on the main event is WWE World Champ Batista vs. Chris Jericho in a non-title match. As the Animal gets ready to win his match out of nowhere 6 masked people jumped Batista and give Jericho the win and out comes Heyman and says Jericho is part and leader of the Dangerous Alliance and the 6 masked wrestlers will take off the mask one at a time and also they are part of the Alliance.

The next night on Raw Jericho talks about why he joined Paul and he knows who else is in the Alliance and also he announced the main event for Raw is him and the returning Dudley Boys vs. Batista, Kofi Kingston and C.M. Punk. During the interview time, Todd Grisham asked Punk on the match tonight. Punk said this “Dangerous Alliance? This is not 1991 anymore and the Alliance is in the past.” Then out of nowhere 6 masked men jumped Punk left him for dead and the 2 masked men unmasked themselves as the Dudley Boys! So main event time, 2-on-3, the Animal and Heartbreak Kid vs. three members of the Dangerous Alliance, Y2J and the Dudleys. Fans wait for the trio they come out as the Dangerous Alliance entrance theme came on as Jericho, the Dudleys and Paul Heyman come out. Paul has the mic and said this “after tonight the Alliance will be shown and all you fans will see why we are take Raw over!”

On and off the match became a classic. Towards end of the match HBK and Batista have the match won out of nowhere Randy Orton, Santino, Beth Phoenix, Jack and the returning Elijah Burke Jumped on them and Orton said “The Alliance is here!” RKO’s Batista. Burke with the 4 up.

As they raised there hands in victory as the Alliance is formed on Raw, over on SmackDown Triple H talks about war games and he wants in but to fight a stable he is forming any army and said “the DX ARMY WILL FIGHT THE ALLIANCE AND IF YOUR DOWN WITH D-GENERATION X WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU!” fans chant suck it! so at war games is d-generation x vs the dangerous alliance for dx HHH, HBK, Batista, Kofi Kingston, and CM Punk and over on raw beth phoenix gloat that she is the greatest women champ of all-time and said this “I am the best diva of all-time there is no diva better than me” but out of nowhere a female laugh comes on and LIL”Kim’s time to rock and roll comes on. As the fans cheers to see the greatest women’s champ of all time Trish Stratus makes her return to the WWE and has the mic. “beth you think your the greatest of all-time? I heard HHH call to war with the alliance here, so I am answer the call and challenge you to a title match at the survivor series and I will be 8 time women’s champion like it or not.”

Now the card is this;

WWE survivor series

ECW title: Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry

Raw vs. SmackDown 5 on 5 series match

ECW Hardcore Match: The All American American Jack Swagger vs. Tommy Dreamer

Diva’s title match: Michelle McCool vs. Maria

SmackDown Series Match: Team Taker vs. Team La Familia

Women’s title Match: Trish Stratus vs. Beth Phoenix

War Games: Team DX vs. Team Dangerous Alliance

NYGIANTSFAN422

Well holy shit, where do I start? First of all, I got half way through correcting your spelling and grammar before giving up – there’s only so much spare time I have on my hands. War Games is a concept that seemingly everyone wants brought back, but allow me to let you all in on a secret – it just wouldn’t work. Sure, the concept is still good, but I can promise you, if WWE were to put on a War Games match any time soon, it would be nothing more than a disappointment. Apart from the fact that your idea is extremely far-fetched, I don’t even like the idea of some randomly formed stable coming in, inflicted a couple of beat downs and bringing back War Games for seemingly no reason.

I don’t like either of your ECW matches either – Dreamer vs. Swagger has no place on pay-per-view card and we’ve seen Henry vs. Hardy enough lately – it’s been done, move on.

Next up is Steve Ivanovski;

1. Mark Henry vs Matt Hardy (ECW Championship, extreme rules)- They need a blow off to this fued. After a spot fest and using weapons like chairs, steel steps, ladders, pipes, and everything in between, Hady finally takes the win after Hardy misses a splash off the second rope and Hardy hits the Twist of Fate for the victory in 9:54

2. Womens Elimination match Marsye, Natalya, Beth Phoniex, Jillian Hall, Katie Lea Birchill vs Candace, Mikki James, Bria, Victoria, Maria- Raid eliminations early on as Katie Lea takes out Bria/Victoria elimantes Natalya/Marsye elimates Maria/Beth elimantes Marsye/Mikki James elimantes Jillian/Candace elimantes Katie Lea..That leaves Beth vs Candace and Mikki. Santino comes out to help Beth but instead costs her the match as Candace rolls her up to get the win and her and Mikki are the surviors at 8:21

3. Smackdown Elimination match- Undertaker/R-Truth/Primo/Carlito vs Big Show/Chavo/Ryder/Hawkins- This all will lead up to Undertaker making a 3 on 1 comeback vs Show/Chavo/Hawkins. He will eliminate Chavo and Hawkins. Show will then try to elimante Taker by cheating setting up Edge’s return that I outlined in last weeks Finks Payload. Edge will help Taker and spear Vicky in the process.

4. Raw Elimination Match- Randy Orton/Manu/Ted Diabise/Cody Rhodes vs CM Punk/Rey Misterio/Kofi Kingston/Batista

This match is made when Orton and Punk are named captains of teams and have to recruit teamates. Punk has no problems but nobody wants to be on Ortons team. He finally goes to the second generation stable and says in order to prove themselves he wants them to to team with him at Survior Series. At the match this will be the order of the eliminations.

Manu elimanted by Punk at 3:29
Kofi by Rhodes at 6:32
Batista and Diabise get DQed at 10:00
Rhodes by Misterio at 12:33
Misterio by Orton at 12:40 (instant RKO)
That leaves Orton and Punk, they have a nice mini match that goes back and forth but all three members of Ortons team come back and attack Punk on the outside while the ref is down. They throw him back in the ring and Orton makes the pin at 18:20. This officialy forms the new stable

5. Brand Supremecy Survior Series Match

Raw- Shawn Michaels/JBL/Shad/JTG VS Smackdown Jeff Hardy/Great Khali/MVP/Shelton Benjamin VS ECW- Finlay/Miz/Morrison/Ricky Ortiz

Order of elimantion
Ortiz by JBL at 3:10
MVP by Michaels at 5:29
Benjamin tries to tag in Khali at one point but Khali is distracted by a girl in the crowd, Benjamin slaps Khali who chokeslams him and Shad covers him at 8:00

JBL and Khali get counted out and brawl to the back at 13:00
Miz out by Hardy at 14:00
JTG out by Morrison at 16:20
Shad out by Morrison at 18:00
Superkick by Michaels to Morrison at 19:39
Leaves Jeff Hardy/Finlay/and Michaels. Finaly gets elimanted by Jeff Hardy at 22:00, leaving Hardy and Michaels as the last two guys. These guys are tired but put on a hell of a match for 6 minutes but Michaels puts Hardy in the Sharpshooter (hey its Survior Series) and Hardy finally taps at 28:00

6. Triple H vs Vladimir Kozlov (WWE Title Match)- Kozlov puts up a great fight with some near falls but of course HHH wins with the pedigree at 10:00

7. Chris Jericho vs John Cena (World Title Match)- Jericho works over Cenas injuries early in the match. Cena makes a monster comeback hits the five knuckle shuffle and F-U for the victory at 14:49. Cena celebrates the victory after the match.

Steve Ivanovski

I wouldn’t have too many problems with this card at all. I’m not overly keen on another Henry/Hardy match, but admittedly I would enjoy seeing them mix it up with some Extreme Rules. The women’s match isn’t something I’m particularly interested in, but I imagine you’ve included it because it’s something of an inevitability. One thing though; why is Victoria aligned with the faces?

I like the sound of the SmackDown elimination match, particularly the 3-on-1 comeback – I wonder if Taker would be able to pull off a performance like Shawn Michaels did at SS 2003. The Raw elimination match is pretty bad ass. I much prefer Punk and Orton as captains than the way WWE has gone with Batista as a captain. I like that you’ve explained why Orton is teaming with the young guys as opposed to WWE, who has just announced the match and seemingly thrown people together for no obvious reason. Bonus points for making Orton a sole survivor for the fourth time.

The brand supremacy match isn’t a concept I’m a fan of, but I really like the way you’ve laid yours out and in particular the climax of a mini-Hardy/HBK encounter. The two main events are as expected. Great stuff overall.
