BOSTON – If the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match pitting Team HBK against Team JBL were a shouting contest, the Longhorn Loudmouth’s boastful bunch would have won by a country mile. Fortunately for Shawn Michaels, he and his team featuring Rey Mysterio, The Great Khali & Cryme Tyme let their in-ring talent do the talking.

In the end, only team captain Michaels, Mysterio and Khali remained sole survivors with their feet placed firmly on canvas after a contest in which participants can be eliminated by count-out, disqualification, pinfall or submission.

Even before the opening bell, Team JBL, consisting of the self-made millionaire, Kane, MVP and The Miz & John Morrison, found more beef with Team HBK than cowboys at a cattle call. All that pent up steam howled to a boil when the first two team members, JTG and MVP, stepped into the ring. After nearly 20 minutes of battle in and out of the ring, it was team captain Shawn Michaels who finally put remaining Team JBL member, Morrison, out of commission.

It remains unclear whether or not the rivalries in each case have been settled, but it’s a safe bet that none of these Superstars will be tamed anytime soon.
