Survivor Series '03: A Night to Remember at the American Airlines Arena

Dallas, Texas - The city of cowboys and rodeos played host to one of the most thrilling pay-per-view events in recent memory, as World Wrestling Entertainment brought the heat to the American Airlines Arena with Survivor Series '03. A sold-out crowd of 13,457 passionate fans bore witness to a night that will be etched in the memories of wrestling enthusiasts for years to come.

The Opening Gauntlet: Ten-Man Tag Team Mayhem

The evening kicked off with a bang as two Survivor Series Elimination matches took center stage. The first match featured an impressive array of talent, pitting Bradshaw, Chris Benoit, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, and Kurt Angle against Brock Lesnar, Matt Morgan, Nathan Jones, A-Train, and Big Show. In the end, it was a valiant effort from Benoit that sealed the victory for his team, with the hard-hitting grappler eliminating two opponents before being counted out himself. The match time clocked in at an impressive 13:17.

Lita's Title Reign on the Line

Next up, WWE Women's Champion Molly Holly put her title on the line against Lita. In a clash of styles that showcased each woman's unique strengths and weaknesses, it was Holly who emerged victorious, submitting Lita to retain her championship. The match time was a relatively quick 6:51.

Kane Takes Down Shane McMahon in Ambulance Match

The first half of the night concluded with Kane facing off against Shane McMahon in an Ambulance Match. This no-holds-barred affair saw both competitors leave everything they had on the table, but ultimately, it was the Big Red Machine who emerged victorious, sending Shane crashing through the back of a waiting ambulance to secure the win. The match time clocked in at 13:25.

Tag Team Tussle

After intermission, the focus shifted to tag team action as the Basham Brothers (Danny and Doug) looked to dethrone Los Guerreros (Chavo Guerrero and Eddie Guerrero) for the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles. In a thrilling match that showcased each team's unique blend of high-flying and technical wizardry, it was the Bashams who ultimately emerged victorious, securing the win in 9:00.

More Survivor Series Elimination Mayhem

The second half of the night kicked off with another Survivor Series Elimination match, this time pitting Chris Jericho, Christian, Mark Henry, Randy Orton, and Scott Steiner against Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rob Van Dam, and Shawn Michaels. In a match that defied logic at times, it was the unlikely combination of Henry and Orton that proved to be the deciding factor, with Henry eliminating three opponents before being counted out himself. The match time clocked in at an impressive 27:27.

Vince McMahon Takes Revenge on The Undertaker

In what can only be described as a moment of pure genius, Vince McMahon got his revenge on The Undertaker by burying him alive in the Buried Alive Match. This twisted twist saw 'Taker's attempt to do the same to the WWE CEO backfire in spectacular fashion, with Vince ultimately emerging victorious after 11:47.

Goldberg Takes Down Triple H for World Heavyweight Title

The evening culminated with Goldberg facing off against Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship. In a match that showcased each competitor's unique strengths and weaknesses, it was the challenger who emerged victorious, pinning Triple H in an impressive 11:45 to claim the title.
