[Guest Choken One]

Slam, Mania are pretty easy and I've done top 30's of those...

 

Series is slightly harder with so many dudrific Elimination matches...

 

KOTR is hard becuz of the many short shitty tourny matches...

 

Rumble just doesn't have that many matches to choose from...since all ppvs provide 3-5 matches TOTAL.

 

You can see the slam and mania top thirty on those respective top 10 list...I plan to post the Rumble TOP 25 Shortly and then post The KOTR Top 25 (the #1 match is pretty obvious for KOTR)

Austin vs. Bret from 1996 is, by far, Survivor Series' greatest match. Everything else falls behind it.

I wouldn't say that considering the WM XIII match is A LOT BETTER, even though this one was ****+.

Austin/Bret from SS 96 is probably the best match the WWF has ever put out, and (arguably) the greatest match from North America. WM XIII was an excellent brawl with great storytelling, but SS96 is just such a smart, smart match. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. If there's any match that I can call *****, it's probably that match (along with Benoit/Sasuke).

WMXIII while a ****1/2 gem in it's own right can't touch the masterpiece of SS1996 from these two.

What does that mean?

I have no idea but that's one of my faves too so if Your Olympic Hero thinks Choken's way off...he's crazy!

 

Once the Godwinns are eliminated in a matter of minutes, this match rocks!

I couldnt possibly list my 25 fave Survivor Series matches...you guys amaze me.

I plan to post the Rumble TOP 25 Shortly and then post The KOTR Top 25 (the #1 match is pretty obvious for KOTR)

I hope you put Michaels/Austin in the top 5.

Wow, I noticed two things.

 

1) Bret Hart is King of all Survivor Series. Without him, who knows how sucky half of these shows would be.

 

2) After #18, the quality of matches fell dramatically and it was a matter of searching through databases to try and fill the rest of the list. When I can't remember a match off the top of my head, it isn't that good.

The opening match from 1994 is the one I used at #17, and 1993 you're right on.
