Repackaging WWE Survivor Series 1987

6. The Macho Maniacs Versus The Hart Foundation

'Macho Man' Randy Savage (captain) (with Miss Elizabeth), Strike Force and Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat versus The Honky Tonk Man (captain), The Hart Foundation and 'Dangerous' Danny Davis (with Jimmy Hart).

The initial revisions of the Survivor Series 1987 card include breaking down the colossal 20-man tag team elimination match in the middle of the show and redistributing the duos to assemble teams of four instead of five. In altering the opening contest of the original show, Randy Savage retains rival-turned-ally Ricky Steamboat while remaining partners Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan and Brutus Beefcake are reassigned to captain individual teams. On the other side, Rude's original partners Harley Race and Hercules move to André The Giant and 'Ravishing' Rick Rude's teams respectively later in the evening and 'Outlaw' Ron Bass is benched. Sorry, Outlaw.

In the months following their classic at WrestleMania III, Savage and Steamboat align against a common enemy and current Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man. Meanwhile, 'Colonel' Jimmy Hart brings the The Hart Foundation and crooked referee 'Dangerous' Danny Davis on board to resume their feud with Tito Santana and Rick Martel, who snagged the Tag Team Championships in the preceding weeks.

During the new match, Davis falls first to a diving crossbody from Steamboat, Bret Hart and Santana brawl to the back after eliminating Martel and The Anvil, and Honky takes the countout after Jimmy Hart takes the bullet for him on a Randy Savage diving elbow.
