10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 1990 Facts

10. Everyone On The Warriors' Team Shared A 'Warrior' Link

An Ultimate Warrior-led team of himself, Kerry Von Erich, and The Legion of Doom defeated Mr. Perfect and Demolition in what rates as a damn fine collection of big-name stars.

The babyface contingent was known as "The Warriors", and it turned out to be a fitting moniker. While the team name usually reflects only the captain in some way, Warrior's partners all had spells in their career as a 'Warrior' of some sort. The Legion of Doom are better known as The Road Warriors, while Kerry Von Erich saw his greatest career heights with the nickname "The Modern Day Warrior".
