Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: Though the Invasion angle had petered out so badly even Vince McMahon himself was burying it on television, the final battle main event was a fine finale. It shouldn't have come down to yet another clash between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, but the sheer firepower in the match ensured it would at least make the end of the story better than the middle.

The Bad: Used to try and trigger a Hardy Boyz feud, a steel cage match pitting Matt and Jeff against The Dudley Boyz was a fight too many for the pairings to pull off. They'd tangled relentlessly over the prior two years - fans had no love left for the combinations.

The Ugly: A pitiful six-pack challenge was an auspicious way to resuscitate the Women's Title after Chyna's acrimonious exit earlier in the year, and winner Trish Stratus didn't inspire hope for a great change. Fans and discerning observers alike were only too happy to be proved wrong.
