Greatest survivor series match ever?

[Guest Northern Lights Brainbuster]

About three turns happened in that match lol.

 

Sid powerbombed HBK for the SWM cock-up

 

Bulldog broke up a cover on his opponent (and tag partner) owen hart

 

Razor was all like "F U" to his heel partners when they tried to order him about.

The 1988 Tag Team Survivor Series match gets my vote. It was non-stop action for the first 25 minutes or so, until all the heels took turns beating down the Barbarian. I liked it a little more than the frist one because I felt that there was better star power in the second one. The only thing that upset me about the match was that the Rougeaus were the first to go. I guess it was because the Bolsheviks were the first to go the previous year, Demos had to turn at the end, the busters had issues with the Rockers and the Conquistadors had to act like idiots during the POP-dust-off-Fuji-and-bring-him-to-their-corner at the 40 minute mark. There will probably never have a 20 man tag team match in the WWF again.

 

I'm surprised that the Underdogs match from the 1995 Survivor Series hasn't come up. It's probably my second/thrid favourite Survivor Series Elimination match.

 

Not sure why the Grand Finale match from 1990 is one of the candidates. The whole card is weak and rushed overall, especially the finale. It was sad seeing some guys (Even if they were Paul Roma, Jim Neidhart and one of the Bushwackers) get pinned following a simple clothesline.

My choice is the 1987 tag-team match, as it puts the Rougeaus, Bulldogs, Harts, Demolition, Strike Force, Stallions, and Killer Bees in the ring at the same time.  The only reasons to pick the 1998 version would be the double turn (Demoliton and Powers of Pain) and the presence of the Rockers.

Good point, the Underdogs match and even the Joshi match was better than a lot of the matches on that list.  1995 must be the best Survivor Series ever.  Three good-->great elimination matches and a kick-ass main event.

I was a pretty big mark for heels back in the day.....Here are my two all-time favorite Survivor Series teams:

 

The Visionaries - Rick Martel, Warlord, Herclues, Paul Roma

and

I.R.S, Adam Bomb, Diesel, and Rick Martel

1987, 1995, and 1996 are about the only Survivor Series in WWF history to put together a solid card the whole way through.  

 

1987- Fairly good match between HTM's crew and the top 5 IC challengers (Savage, Roberts, Steamboat, Duggan, Beefcake), good women's tag match (probably one of the best women's matches in WWF history, excluding the supposedly five-star Blaze-Nakano match from Japan), EXCELLENT tag-teams match, decent main event due mainly to Bam Bam Bigelow.

 

1995- Great Bret-Diesel main event, a few good undercard elimination matches including the Wildcard match.

 

1996- Bret-Austin, Sid-HBK, some okay stuff.

 

Very few of the other Survivor Series have more than one match worth watching (1994 is close, but the finish of the opening match would get one of the biggest BULLSHIT chants in recorded history if it happened today)

Pretty tough to choose between 87 & 88

Hate to be a nitpick, but Bulldog actually broke Ahmed's pin on Yoko after Ahmed slammed him.

I like the 88 Tag Match.  It remains one of my favourite matches off all time.
