A delicious theatre of technical wrestling done really, really well, Survivor Series 1992's main event was in stark contrast to just about every other supershow headliner Vince McMahon had ever promoted.

His panicked return to the bosom of Hulk Hogan in early-1993 was reflected by the relatively low buyrate the show drew too. Yet, though Hart and Michaels lacked the ability to attract eyes, they made up for in how they satisfied those that stayed. This was, for many, an absorbing introduction into how holds and counters could be transposed into Sports Entertainment, and is thus better today than it was even then.
