Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: The Teamsters/Bad Guys opener is one of the best in the show's history, setting a grand stage for the Diesel/Shawn Michaels break-up in a way that also masks 'HBK's broken hand throughout. Kevin Nash looks ready to change the industry as he bulldozes through the babyfaces - it's easy to see why Vince McMahon was so keen.

The Bad: Bret Hart's WWE Championship loss to Bob Backlund isn't for everybody. There's some supreme character work from Owen Hart late in the match, but the laboured approach and lengthy submission stretched patience and believability at time.

The Ugly: Save for an excellent moment in which Jerry Lawler responds to a chicken-fight challenge from Doink and Dink by scaling one of his own miniature 'Kings', the Royal Family/Clowns R Us match is a calamity only McMahon himself could possibly find funny. Truthfully, his laughs on commentary didn't even sound that forced.
