10 Worst Ever WWE Survivor Series Team Captains
Horrible Bosses
It's been a big month for Alicia Fox.
A discerning plea on Lillian Garcia's podcast inadvertently worked better than she ever could have imagined. As two survivors of WWE's darkest diva days, the pair spoke frankly together about the challenges Fox in particular had overcome just to keep afloat in the changing tides of the women's division.
The former Divas Champion off-handedly remarked that she'd never even had her own t-shirt after a decade on the main roster, and the line ended up growing legs and making it on to Monday Night Raw. It seemed designed merely to mock as Fox re-engaged her 'crazy' persona, but remarkably, she ended up with apparel after all.
It was that monstrosity she wore with pride to the ring to take on Bayley and Sasha Banks in a match she'd ultimately win to become Captain of the Monday Night Raw's Women's Team at this year's Survivor Series.
Alongside the tradition itself, the captaincy has always been as integral a part of the elimination format and presentation. Win, and the glory is yours, but lose and you've lead a squad into the abyss.
The head that wears the crown is said to be heavy, but these lumbering buffoons were merely too thick-skulled for the task at hand.
10. Rated RKO (2006)
2006 was an absolute hoot for Triple H and Shawn Michaels. They reformed D-Generation-X, doubled their merchandise earnings, and ran roughshod over the entire roster mostly in the name of light entertainment rather than athletic competition.
Their demeaning dismantling of The Spirit Squad and humbling of Vince and Shane McMahon actually fed into their next feud, with Edge and Randy Orton forming a mutual appreciation society based on bitterness held against the degenerates for an implied oppression on their collective trajectories that may not have veered too far from the truth.
Tensions mounted in the run up to that year's Survivor Series, where 'The Legend Killer' and 'The Rated-R Superstar' assembled a hodgepodge gang to try and topple Shawn and Hunter's veritable supergroup.
Masking their midlife crises in buddying up to partners CM Punk and The Hardy Boyz, DX made mugs of their foes in an elimination washout that somehow looked even more one-sided as it happened than it did on paper.
In an admittedly hilarious opening, Mike Knox was superkicked out by Shawn without 'HBK' even realising he was in the match, ('Who was that guy? So...we're doing good then?') but things only got worse for the heels from there.
Gregory Helms and Johnny Nitro were quickly disposed of, leaving only Edge and Orton to take the last brow-beatings in the most humiliatingly one-sided Survivor Series match of all time.
