56 second mark...2 dead people. 1:10 mark, 2 more dead people. 1:20 mark, another dead wrestler. 1:30, ditto. 1:45, ditto. 7 dead wrestlers in a 2 minute promo. Sad when you think about it. All gone too soon.
I remember this as a kid, loved when Bobby had to wrestle because his family walked out on him, this was awesome.. Zeus the Human wrecking machine lol, how is that guy not in the Hall of fame.. I think he went 0-4 but made such an impact!
I kind of wish Vince would give intro's to the ppv's again. Heck, I wish the Survivor Series was like the SURVIVOR SERIES. Only there could a guy get pinned by a clothesline.
@NBT131313 I was actually just thinking the exact same the other day. Wrestlers could get pinned by something minor like a hugh knee or backbreaker in Survivor Series. Great days.
Iron Sheik was supposed to be in this one. He was going to put Hogan in the camel clutch, break his back, fuck him in the ass and make him hummmbell! That was going to be the whole Survivor Series. But he got busted for failing a "medicine test" after getting pulled over on the NJ turnpike.
You can tell Earthquake wasn't the planned participant just by the way McMahon yells his name more loudly than everybody else's. I velieve he was a replacement for Barry Windham.
Does anybody else notice that the Harlem street thug (Bad News Brown) is on a team with a model, a cop, and a guy called "Honky"?
@FewerMiles Good old days of good vs. bad. Earthquake was indeed the replacement for Barry Windham who left to go back to the NWA/WCW. Same goes for Tully Blanchard who was replaced by Heenan in the main event.
@FewerMiles Not only was Bad News on the same team as a cop but the cop was a good old southern boy with a confederate flag on his sleeve. To be fair Bad News did walk out on them half way though the match so it was somewhat realistic.
This was deffo one of the best survivor series ever, great teams, I remember back then as a kid, i'd be on the side of the 'good guys' like warrior and dusty rhodes, but now, you look at the real talent, like curt hennigs team, wow! what a team he had in this, Brain Busters where a great team, Arn Anderson on the back end of wcw fame, shame he didnt stay in the wwf longer.
this is when wrestling was cool because nearly every guy has a cool gimmick it made wrestling fun to watch... even the teams had gimmick names and shit.
Here's a tidbit for ya, Andre was eliminated early for his match cause he came to the PPV drunk as a skunk so Vince had The Ultimate Warrior come to the ring and clothes line him out early at the sound of the bell for his punishment! You noticed they would never tell you things like that on that Warrior DVD when they talked about his feud with Andre, just how much Andre hated working with the Warrior!
You'll notice that Vince dubbed Earthquake and Bad News Brown over The Widowmaker (Barry Windham) and Akeem for their respective Survivor Series matches (Windham had left the WWF and Akeem was out due to injury).
I prefer there is grand finale like SS90, face survivors (Dusty Rhodes, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior Vs heel survivors (Randy Savage, Dino Bravo, Earthquake, Mr Perfect).
I prefer Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Brutus Beefcake, Demolition) Vs King Court (Randy Savage, Zeus, Power of Pain), since only Randy Savage can lead Zeus.
But don't forget that back then WWF had only 4 PPVs, which I loved. Nowadays there are too many so that each one isn't special anymore. I loved the combo of PPVs, SNMEs, and house/arena shows plus the weekly TV programs. Those were all you needed. And there was the perfect amount of time between PPVs to build up the next one.
When Vince McMahon did the voiceovers for the PPV's, it would get you hyped up and it would be well worth the 50 bucks. Now you can go to the website and get all the info for free. OAN: at 3:26 McMahon sounded like he was tryin to catch his breath
they bring in this bullshit ass bragging rights just to replace survivor series which is a stupid idea because survivor series itself can't be replace by knock offs. they need to go ahead and cancel bragging rights and bring survivor series back to it's orignal place as the biggest tag team ppv.
@burby8100 Well I agree with you. WWE needs to ditch Bragging Rights and transfer its tag team matches to the Survivor Series, just like the old days. Even though I don't watch WWE nowadays.
@RatedRepublican Bruno Sammartino held the WWE title from 1963-1971 and 1973-1977. RVD held the ECW TV title for nearly two years. But they don't have comparison, nuff said.
