alexanderdavies-99382 Late 1991 to early 1992 saw some popular names in circulation in the WWE. Amongst them were Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Legion of Doom, The British Bulldog, Sid Justice, The Nasty Boys, The Mountie, Sgt. Slaughter, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted DiBiase, Virgil, Bret "Hitman" Hart amongst others. The 5th Annual Survivor Series featured some of the above names in some thrilling matches. The only negative thing, is that the heels dominated this PPV. My favourite match from the card, is the 3 on 3 match with Legion of Doom and the Big Boss Man vs. IRS and The Natural Disasters. L.O.D truly were afraid of no one and they show this when they squared up to a tag team of a combined weight of 852 pounds. The match was meant to include Sid Justice on the baby face team and Jake Roberts on the heel team. For reasons I don't know, they had to withdraw which was a pity. Hulk Hogan defending his title against The Undertaker was building quite a bit of heat, especially with Ric Flair claiming to be the real champion. The resulting match was very good from this Survivor Series card. The other 3 matches are great. Roddy Piper and Ric Flair were Captains of their own teams, they were having a story angle at the time. We get such a difference in Wrestling styles and it makes for very good viewing. Bret Hart was enjoying his early success as a singles wrestler. At the time in November 1991, he was the holder of the Intercontinental title. The match concludes with an ending I knew all too well would happen! The Rockers and The Bushwhackers teamed up against The Nasty Boys and The Beverly Brothers in a thrilling encounter that was a bit one- sided. There is one incident which would lead to The Rockers breaking up soon after..... Hacksaw Jim Duggan captained his team against the Viking character, The Berzerker. I enjoyed it, although it would have been better if Ricky Steamboat had been involved as he was originally meant to be. A most satisfying PPV and a darn sight better than the previous years Survivor Series.

callanvass Live from Detroit, MIAttendance 17,500Your commentators are Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby HeenanIn one of the greatest angles in history, Randy Savage gets bitten by Jake 'The Snake' Roberts cobra. It was devenomized of course, but it was still a harrowing angle, It even made kids cry. Jack Tunney announces that all reptiles are barred from ringside and that Randy Savage has been taken out of the Survivor Series match. He says Randy Savage is reinstated and a match between him and Jake Roberts will be sanctioned at the earliest possible date.Ric Flair, Ted Dibiase, The Mountie, & The Warlord Vs 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, The British Bulldog & VirgilOrder of eliminationThe British Bulldog by Ric FlairThe Warlord by Roddy PiperRoddy Piper, Virgil, Ted Dibiase, Bret Hart, The Mountie by disqualificationSole Survivor: Ric FlairThis was a good match. I'm not sure if I care for the finish or not, but it was a good match overall. This one had a lot of talent in there. Bret Hart and Ted Dibiase had a really nice wrestling sequence in this one. I also enjoyed the intensity from Ric Flair and Roddy Piper when they went at it. ***1/4 out of 5Randy Savage says he was delirious after the snake bite. He calls it a living hell. He says he couldn't see or hear except Elizabeth crying. He says that hurt him worse than anything Jake Roberts could do to him. Randy Savage says the real snake is Jake Roberts. He says at Tuesday in Texas, the madness will be all over Jake like melting butter. Miss Elizabeth thanks everyone for the reinstatement of Randy Savage. Okerlund asks Elizabeth if she thinks Randy Savage will beat Jake Roberts at Tuesday in Texas. She responds with "OHHHHH YEAHHH"Col. Mustafa, The Berzerker, Hercules & Skinner Vs Sgt.

This was really made tolerable by the exceptional commentary by Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. Maybe I'm being generous about it.*1/2 out of 5Gene Okerlund accuses Jake Roberts of lying about his cobra being devenomized. He says "Cross my heart, hope to die, that's what he was told" Jake says everyone is trying to cast him as the original sinner. He says he spoke to god this morning and he said he doesn't like Gene Okerlund. Haha! He says the WWF, Jack Tunney, and the fans are to blame. He says for 6 years, the fans haven't realized that Jake was the real snake. The snake was just a toy to amuse himself with. He says at This Tuesday in Texas, it's not the end, the beginning of the end, or the end. It's the end of the beginning. Great heel promo from Jake.WWF ChampionshipHulk Hogan (C) Vs The UndertakerThe Undertaker wins the title with help from Ric Flair and Paul Bearer. This might just be the worst title match I've ever seen in my life. Even worse than Diesel vs Mabel at Summerslam in 95. As much as I love The Undertaker, his matches were often unbearable to watch when he was first starting. The match consisted of hardly anything but choking, punching, and kicking. If you count all the chokes in this match, you'd be astonished. As usual, Hogan needs to be almost invincible to be beaten. ½* out of 5'Rowdy' Roddy Piper cuts a great promo backstage and calls The Undertaker an "Adams Family reject" A bunch of other interviews take place as well.Jack Tunney announces a rematch for the WWF title at This Tuesday in Texas between Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker.The Nasty Boys & The Beverly Brothers Vs The Rockers & The BuswhackersOrder of eliminationLuke by Brian KnobbsButch by a Beverly BrotherBeau Beverly by Shawn MichaelsShawn Michaels by a Nasty BoyMarty Janetty by Jerry SaggsSole Survivors: The Nasty Boys & Blake BeverlyThe match was mostly average aside from The Rockers being fun to watch. This match was mainly noteworthy because it was the first sign of dissension between The Rockers. Shawn would go onto be a big star, of course. The crowd was dead for this.**1/4 out of 5The Big Bossman & Legion of Doom Vs I.R.S & The Natural DisastersOrder of elimination.The Big Bossman by I.R.S (He used his briefcase to nail him in the head)Typhoon by Hawk (I.R.S accidentally nailed Typhoon with the briefcase)Earthquake by countoutI.R.S by AnimalSole Survivors: The Legion of DoomThis was somewhat of a boring main event. It would have been enhanced greatly with Jake Roberts and Randy Savage being in it. I'm not really a fan of anyone in this match. I've always thought LOD was overrated.The Undertaker says Hulkamania died tonight. After Tuesday in Texas, the burial comes next.5/10This is an average show. The WWF title match is horrible and there is only one good match on the show. We did get dissension between The Rockers, though. Take it or leave it.

Big Movie Fan Survivor Series 1991 was a phenomenal event with fantastic matches on the card.Roddy Piper captained a team against Ric Flair and his cronies in an entertaining and at times wild brawl.The patriotic Hacksaw Jim Duggan captained a team against the Iranian Colonel Mustafa in another wild brawl.The high flying Rockers teamed up with the crazy Bushwhackers to battle the disgusting Nasty Boys and the posh Beverly Brothers in an entertaining match.There was a brilliant six-man tag match in which the Big Boss Man and the Legion of Doom battled I.R.S. and the huge Natural Disasters.(SPOILER AHEAD) In the main event Hulk Hogan defended his title against the unstoppable Undertaker. The Undertaker dented Hogan and took his belt in a good match.Five matches all of which were great-what more could one ask for?
