I forgot Survivor Series is in Canada. Between that and them trying to make Brock heel in his hometown, only to have it backfire and garner Goldberg the boos, this return could be disastrous. Am I off base when I think that the Canada crowd will boo Goldberg because he ended Bret Hart's career?

I think most people have forgotten about that/don't care so much.

Don't know how much of Toronto crowd even really grew up with Goldberg either. Goldberg has rarely competed in Canada in his entire career. Only even competed in Toronto just once in his career(the 5 minute "I Quit" match at WCW Mayhem 1999). So don't know how much crowd is really behind him in this one.

Probably gonna end up being another Batista type of thing where WWE brings him back, expects crowd to be so behind him, and then they just boo him so much.

That may be the reason they boo him, hard to know for sure. .

This might actually be one of the best Survivor Series ppvs in the sense that they're going all out on traditional Survivor Series matches. Last year was a low when they made the traditional SS match nothing but a preshow filler.

Jericho,Owens,Reigns,Strowman & maybe Rollins on Raw. I'm guessing because of this, we have AJ,Dean,Orton,Wyatt,???(Harper or Corbin?) On SD. Too bad Cenas MIA for this. How stacked of a match! Reminds me of SS01.

Women's wise, Charlotte,Nia,Bayley and probably 2 more(Dana/Sasha I'd guess). SD then is Nikki,Becky,Alexa,Carmella,Naomi?

Tag team, New Day as captain's(way to guarantee they break the record). It'll probably end up like how I predicted in OP.

So only title matches probably IC/CW ones.

That will be the reason that I boo him.

I'm not the biggest fan off all the brand exclusive PPVs, but having them allows Survivor Series to go the traditional route and not have the World Titles sitting idle for an extended period of time

[Majingir]

It also allows December ppv matches to feel fresher since no match is just a rematch of last month's ppv. And the direct lead-in for the rtwm.
