10 Worst Ever WWE Survivor Series Team Captains
1. Shawn Michaels (1994)
From a storyline perspective, 'Teamsters' captain Shawn Michaels was a useless leader and reprehensible d*ckhead at the 1994 Survivor Series. In real life, it was a masterclass in the artistry of storyline development and talent protection for the greater good.
'HBK' went into the contest with a broken hand, but the injury was completely hidden as per the arc that required him to be little more than a mouthpiece for the team whilst partner Diesel did all the literal and figurative heavy lifting.
'Big Daddy Cool' duly obliged. Taking out virtually all of Razor Ramon's 'Bad Guys' unit with his devastating Jackknife, he had only to pin the Intercontinental Champion when Shawn finally piped up. Tagging in for the very first time, he ordered his exhausted partner to hold Razor up for a glory-hogging superkick. When the sweet music connected with Diesel's chin instead, it severed their partnership with such ferocity that the Survivor Series quintet were all counted out.
At rock bottom, Shawn's binning of the tag title belt after the match was again masking wider backstage machinations, but fed perfectly into his self-centred failure to lead his unit to victory.
