10 Most Underrated Matches From WWE Survivor Series

10. The Grand Finale Match Of Survival (1990)

By 1990, WrestleMania had been firmly established as the Mecca of all WWE pay-per-view events, but the Survivor Series event was a draw in itself with top superstars coming together to form superteams. The 5-on-5 elimination matches were reduced to 4-on-4 in 1989, and it allowed for shorter, more action-packed matches throughout the entire event.

WWE added the Grand Finale Match of Survival in 1990 where, after the 5 advertised traditional Survivor Series matches took place, all of the remaining survivors would compete in one final contest in the main event. No additional details were provided regarding the format of the Grand Finale and some expected it to be an "every man for himself" battle royal style of match.

Instead, the main event was another tag team elimination bout where the surviving babyfaces teamed against the surviving heels. WWF Champion Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, & Tito Santana vs. The Visionaries (Rick Martel, Power & Glory, & The Warlord) & Ted DiBiase saw both Hogan and Warrior leave victorious to close the show. While the in-ring action wasn't as great as the undercard, the concept was one that many fans expected would become a Survivor Series tradition.

As a concept, the Grand Finale was greatly underrated. It looked great on paper but was not received well backstage and WWE never used the idea again.
