Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series From Worst To Best

The Good: Ric Flair is in sublime form in the opener, recoiling in horror at having to face any of the babyfaces across the ring from him. His slimy, slithering victory vindicates his canny cowardice. His reptilian actions were perhaps to replace the lack of a King Cobra on the show - Jake Roberts' snake had been banned after sinking its teeth into Randy Savage's arm just days before the show. Uncensored highlights of the incident justified the price of the show alone...

The Bad: ...but not when it became apparent that it was a commercial for the match rather than the location. The company using the event to plug an experimental 'This Tuesday In Texas' mini-pay-per-view was insulting to the paying crowd. That they utilised the hottest angle in the company and the WWE Championship reflects how desperate they were for it to succeed.

The Ugly: Undertaker's WWE Title win over Hulk Hogan is absolutely abysmal, particularly considering the intention to have their rematch just days later. Less than nothing happens before 'Taker cheats to win and the company goes into meltdown to help 'The Hulkster'.
