Survivor Series

the real problem with this time in wrestling was the lack of surprises we new hogan would survive and so would the warrior the WWF seemed only to care about these two characters when there was so much talent about. The debut of the Undertaker and a v good couple of minutes between Bret Hart and Ted DiBese make this match the best by far. I still enjoyed it because it was my first survivor series but looking back it was a waste. In a time when there was only four pay per views a year this is a real letdown. Worth watching to see some classic characters Mr.Perfect ,Demolition ,L.o.d and Kerry Von Erich all in one elimination match but the WWF commitment to trying to make certain people come of looking good ruins the quality of the match the event feels like just another stepping stone for certain wrestlers. If this eventually led to Wrestlemania 7 Hogan vs Warrior 2 and l.o.d vs Demolition it would have been good hype but the WWF seemed to lose its bottle

It's like watching highlights from the very first pin it becomes clear this match is against the clock ⏰. The best and most fun survivor series to date . Timing was sometimes all over the place with some weird moments and quick pins and count outs . Not one to watch for great wrestling but a really fun night.

What many fans today don't often understand is back in the 80's and early 90's, watching wrestling was about spectacle. We didn't care so much if we were watching a five star match, we just enjoyed the show. This ppv is a classic example.

The matches meant nothing, no titles on the line and some of the wrestlers were arbitrarily thrown on teams. However, it was pretty damn awesome as a kid to see the Ultimate Warrior team with LOD and Kerry Von Erich in a match. Even if we knew the probable outcome.

Same with the Gooker and final match. They meant nothing but 30+ years later I still have fond memories of watching this event Thanksgiving night with my cousins.

Overall Mark: B

The 1990 Survivor Series was truly a classic event. So much happened at the event which was memorable.

For starters, we had the debut of The Undertaker who is still tearing up wrestlers today. The Undertaker was a lot younger and faster than he is today. He was truly invincible. At this event he was the surprise member of The Million Dollar Team and the opposing team just couldn't put a dent in him.

The great things about this and other Survivor Series events is that the writers of these shows put enemies against each other in teams of four. Okay, I know wrestling is just another branch of showbiz but we can at least pretend that the guys all hate each other.

Hulk Hogan captained a team against the Earthquake who was one of the most despicable heels of the time. Earthquake and Hogan had a lot of history and the energy during this match was great. There were four other great Survival matches on the card and then we got to see a Grand Finale where the Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan and Tito Santana faced the devastating Visionaries and the Million Dollar Man.
