10 Awesome WWE Survivor Series Matches You Totally Forgot About

10. Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Brutus Beefcake, Jake Roberts & Hacksaw Duggan vs. Honky Tonk Man, Danny Davis, Hercules, Harley Race and Ron Bass (Survivor Series Elimination Match, 1987)

By November 1987, Honky Tonk Man was well on his way to developing into one of the best heels in all of professional wrestling. Then-WWE Intercontinental champion, he was the type of overbearing, nerve-grating villain that fans were all-too-willing to pay their hard-earned money to see get beat up. They wanted to celebrate his suffering and they had the opportunity to do so at the inaugural Survivor Series event...if his babyface opponents could systematically pick off the Elvis-ripoff's partners. That ol' Honky had unresolved issues with three of his opponents only intensified the situation. A guitar shot to the head, not to mention the despicable act of shoving Miss Elizabeth to the ground on Saturday Night's Main Event, had earned the wrath of "Macho Man" Randy Savage. His controversial victory over Jake "the Snake" Roberts at WrestleMania III left the second-generation wrestler looking for revenge. Finally, Ricky Steamboat had seen his monumental intercontinental title reign come to an end courtesy of more controversy that only served to flame the fire surrounding the Superstar. How long would he be able to stave off pain and punishment at the hands of his rivals? The answer would come sooner than later. Jim Duggan and Harley Race, who were in the middle of a rivalry over the King of the Ring crown, brawled outside the ring and wound up counted out of the contest. Brutus Beefcake, red hot coming off of a babyface turn at WrestleMania, was eliminated courtesy of our lead villain following Shake, Rattle and Roll while the babyfaces continued to pick apart the heel team, eliminating Danny Davis, Hercules and Ron Bass in short order. Suddenly, Honky Tonk Man found himself face-to-face with the three men so desperate to avenge their torment at his hand. He was pummeled around the squared circle in a prime example of epic storytelling. Here was this guy that was so vile, such a dastardly villain, and he was finally getting his comeuppance. Rather than giving the fans everything in one fell swoop, though, the IC champion was booked to bail from the ring and get himself intentionally counted out to avoid further beating. The fans hated the character even more than they did before, the babyfaces got a brief period of revenge and Survivor Series had its first underrated classic.
