WWE Survivor Series 1994 (1994)

1st Match: The Bad Guys vs The Teamsters, 5-on-5 Elimination match. Some pretty big star power in this, especially Michaels being the hometown boy. Nash destroys everyone on Razor's team, and the crowd's sure into it, but an entire team losing via countout is really lame. At least the match is entertaining up to that point. Rating: 3/5 2nd Match: The Royal Family vs Clowns R' Us, 4-on-4 Elimination match. This in not a match, this is torture. Terrible comedy matches like this drag on for what feels like hours, and I would rather die than see this again. It's not funny, it's cancerous. If this doesn't make the top of my "Worst Match of 1994" list, I shudder to think what'll beat it. A new word needs to be invented for how terrible this is. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Rating: 0/5 3rd Match: Bob Backlund vs Bret Hart, Submission match for the WWF Championship. You know what I've had enough of? This Bret/Owen feud. At this point, they've been milking this rivalry for 10 months, and it got stale 7 months in. OK Owen, I get it, you're a crybaby loser. I now hate you even being on my TV screen, that's not good, it means I don't even want to boo you, let alone see you at all. I guess I should get to the match itself. Nothing happens, there's no tension or anything and the last 10 minutes are slower than continental drift. If this match was done nowadays, it would get booed off of the planet. Rating: 0/5 4th Match: The Million Dollar Team vs Guts & Glory. Finally, a stand out match! The 2 matches before this were equivalent to sensory deprivation, and this finally has substance. It's not a perfect match by any means, but it's The Holy Grail compared to what came before it. Rating: 3.5/5 5th Match: Yokozuna vs Undertaker, Casket match (Special Guest Enforcer: Chuck Norris). Oh hey, it's Chuck Norris. You know, that guy that got completely killed by the internet. Also fun fact, Paul Bearer went to the same community college I did. Again, the match isn't perfect, but Undertaker winning was a good match to end on, even though an act of God couldn't save this show. Rating: 3/5 Final Rating: 2 out of 10. This is the worst PPV I've ever seen, and it'll take a serious effort for any other show to beat it. Lawler/Doink is cancer, and Backlund/Hart is the worst title match I've ever seen. Even the 3 matches I rated at least OK, is just because compared to the other 2 matches they're a lot better. Who thought ending 1994 with an abomination of a show like this was a good idea? WWF were treading some serious water in '94, Hopefully they can bounce in '95.

1. Diesel/Shawn Michaels/Owen Hart/Jim Neidhart/Jeff Jarrett Vs. Razor Ramon/1-2-3 Kid/British Bulldog/Fatu - Strange ending 6/10 2. Jerry Lawler w. his 3 Dwarfs Vs. Doink w his 3 Dwarfs - I really don't like these "family entertainment" matches. Taunting dwarfs, very well. Comedy. 4/10 3. WWF Heavyweight Title Match Bob Backlund Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - Sick, sick match. How anyone could booked Backlund as WWF Champion. Sick to the bone! 4/10 4. Tatanka/Bam Bam Bigelow/King Kong Bundy Vs.

This Survivor Series event was very good after the mediocre events from 1992/93.For the first time since the 1988 event there were some matches pitting teams of 5 against each other. The Bad Guys captained by the ultra cool Razor Ramon battled The Teamsters captained by Jeff Jarrett. This was a superb match spoiled only by it's ending.Major enemies Lex Luger and Tatanka captained opposing teams in another entertaining brawl.Doink led 3 midget clowns against Jerry Lawler and 3 midget kings. This was a comedic match which I enjoyed very much and was probably enjoyed by anyone who was under 5 at the time.Bret Hart faced Bob Backlund in a match that lasted over 30 minutes. It was a technical match and very intense at times.In the main event The Undertaker fought Yokosuna in a Casket Match which was refereed by Chuck Norris. This was a reasonable match which brought an entertaining card to an end.
