Ranking Every Sole Survivor In WWE Survivor Series History
They came, they saw, they survived....some better than others.
The classic Survivor Series match is one of those WWE traditions which will likely live on forever. The concept is simple: Two teams of wrestlers compete until one team has eliminated all of their opponents. Surviving one of these matches is a noteworthy achievement for any superstar, but becoming the sole survivor is something that a wrestler can hang their hat on.
Since 1987 only 24 men and women have won an elimination match on their own. Such an accomplishment is often hailed as remarkable by the federation and can sometimes be followed by scenes of tribulation as the victor is hoisted onto the shoulders of his previously fallen comrades.
Becoming a sole survivor is a true rarity in WWE, so much so that legends like The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, and John Cena have never managed it. Yet, when you look through the history of sole survivors there are some surprising names that stand out.
So, with three unique and compelling Survivor Series matches on the horizon, it's time to rank the sole survivors from worst to best.
24. Razor Ramon (Survivor Series 1994)
We can already hear you complaining, "Razor Ramon? At the bottom of this list? But he was awesome?" Even though that last statement is correct, hear us out on this one.
In 1994, Razor was the captain of his team which was appropriately called 'The Bad Guys,' which was composed of himself, The 1-2-3 Kid, The British Bulldog, Fatu, and Sionne. Their opponents were the intimidating quintet of Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Jarrett, Owen Hart, and Jim Neidhart.
All of Razor's partners were eliminated in just over 15 minutes, thus leaving the future nWo founder prone to his opponents. Michaels then demanded that Diesel hold up Razor for the Sweet Chin Music. At the last second, The Bad Guy moved and HBK clocked his friend, echoing the exact same spot that cost Diesel the Intercontinental Championship at that year's SummerSlam.
Big Daddy Cool became incensed and began arguing with Michaels outside the ring. The rest of the team then attempt to quell the situation only for all five men to be counted out. Razor won the match but he didn't eliminate a single person. Although it's a unique finish, Razor didn't necessarily do anything to earn the win.
