The Survivor Series is the longest-running, most tenured PPV in the WWE, outside of WrestleMania. Having started in 1987, if the Survivor Series was numbered like WrestleMania used to be, the upcoming edition would be Survivor Series 29. In just a couple of weeks, the WWE will be celebrating 25 years of The Undertaker at the 2015 Survivor Series. The man known as The Phenom debuted at the 4th annual Survivor Series as part of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Team. Without a doubt, The Undertaker's surprise debut was the most memorable moment to come out of that PPV, but the show is not without additional memorable moments. The Ultimate Warrior was seven months into his reign as WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan was back full-time to take on Earthquake and company, and another main eventer was about to begin one of his most iconic feuds ever. A new concept was created for the show's main event, albeit short-lived, and two surprises were promised - one did not deliver, while the other continues to deliver to this day. It's the 1990 Survivor Series, and this article takes a look at events that may have been overlooked in the shadow of The Undertaker...
