Every WWE Survivor Series Ranked - From Worst To Best
29. 1993
A steaming turd from start to finish. The 1993 Survivor Series was plagued by injuries and substitutions, not to mention an ill-advised push for Ludvig Borga, and an ill-fitting Smoky Mountain Wrestling tag title match in the middle of the card that had all the heat of a particularly cold penguin.
Elsewhere, the Hart Family were scheduled to take on Jerry Lawler and his band of Knights, but Lawler was unable to make the show after being indicted for the alleged sodomizing of a teenage girl (subsequently revealed to be completely untrue). Shawn Michaels was his replacement, and whilst Shawn was great, the lack of Lawler took the heat out of the story. Oh, and Greg Valentine and Barry Horowitz were involved.
Later in the show The Four Doinks (Men on a Mission & The Bushwackers) beat Bam Bam Bigelow, Bastion Booger and The Headshrinkers in a match infamous for its zany stupidity.
28. 1994
Whilst it isn't entirely fair to completely write-off any particular time in professional wrestling, the mid 1990s were somewhat disappointing for the then-WWF. The 1994 Survivor Series is a good example of this. The roster wasn't as deep as it needed to be, and the company was still transitioning out of the Hogan era and into the New Generation.
The show was headlined by The Undertaker taking on Yokozuna in a Casket Match with Chuck Norris as the Guest Enforcer, which basically involved him looking baffled by his surroundings and giving Jeff Jarrett a roundhouse kick. It wasn't the greatest casket match you've ever seen.
Elsewhere, Bam Bam Bigelow and King Kong Bundy were the sole survivors for The Million Dollar Team against Lex Luger's Guts and Glory, and The Royal Family (Jerry Lawler and a team of midget kings) defeated Clowns 'r Us (Doink and a team of midget clowns).
Oh, and the ancient Bob Backlund defeated Bret Hart to win the WWF Championship, smack bang in the middle of the show. Just not a good night from start to finish.
