More for historical reasons than match quality, Survivor Series 1997 featured the single-most controversial moment in wrestling history.

The drama around and during this match was so significant, especially considering the whole USA vs. Canada feud going on. This show also indirectly led to the creation of the Mr. McMahon character.

Key Matches: Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart (WWF Title), Owen Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWF IC Title), Kane vs Mankind
