Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: The Undertaker's debut was absolutely phenomenal. The character was perfectly packaged and presented and within one debut was a more vital member of the roster than half the other in his Survivor Series match. Bret Hart and Ted Dibiase had a beautiful match-within-a-match after 'The Deadman's departure too. 'The Hitman's brother Dean had tragically passed away the day before - this singles showcase was his loving tribute.

The Bad: After a largely enjoyable card, many of the results were undone by a 'Grand Finale Match Of Survival' designed to give Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior additional spotlight. Getting Survivors to wrestle twice and thus lose at least once was needlessly counterproductive, even if it did provide a muscular show-closing visual.

The Ugly: A goose egg for the ages, WWE had Hector Guerrero don a chicken suit and hatch out of giant one as The Gobbledy Gooker. What's charming and nostalgic now was an unforgivable and unacceptable waste of pay-per-view time then.
