Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were tasked with reframing pro wrestling for a generation of fans when pre-show changes resulted in their singles match featuring both major company titles. 'HBK' dethroned the British Bulldog ahead of the same steroid-based side exit the Ultimate Warrior took before the show too. This was the second main event changer after Ric Flair lost his title to Hart. 'The Hitman' and 'The Showstopper' had an understated belter, too.

The Bad: Lots of the wrestlers tried hard, but so few of the matches sprung to life. Payoffs were delivered in the longstanding feuds between The Undertaker and Kamala, Tatanka and Rick Martel and the Big Boss Man and Nailz, but none of them were really any good. The Randy Savage and Mr Perfect combo personified babyface fire, but a screwy finish against the heels doused the flames.

The Ugly: Very little in truth, though the exposing of the company's ugly underbelly before the show foreshadowed worse times to come for the company.
