Clearly, the WWF was still sorting itself out of the post-Hogan era at the time of this event, and despite a few hints at things moving in the right direction, Survivor Series '92 is kind of a mess and ultimately very skippable in the PPV canon.Most of the matches in this event are subpar and featuring uneven talent. For example...-Tag team match between High Energy (Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware) vs. The Headshrinkers. Talk about starting off with a whimper. Decent wrestling, but little "push" for either team makes it ultimately expendable. -Big Boss Man vs. Nailz in a Nightstick Match. Dumb concept, even worse wrestling. -Virgil vs. Yokozuna. The big man would prove to have some staying power in the WWF (he moves well for such a fat guy), but having him in the ring with Virgil is so comical as to be ridiculous. -A similar thing happens with the ever-popular Undertaker against the completely embarrassing Kamala.Probably the only two decent matches of this event were:-Tatanka (a fan favorite!) vs. Rick "Model" Martel. -Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWF title. A decent match even if both men have had (and will have) better.One final note: Good to see Razor Ramon making his first PPV appearance (I believe) here. He knows what he is doing and how to put on a good show.Overall, Survivor Series '92 is a disappointment pretty much any way you slice it. A few hints at the company turning itself around, but it certainly doesn't make that leap this go-round.

1. Owen Hart/Koko B.Ware Vs. Headshrinkers - Average match 6/10 2. Big Stiff Man Vs. Nailz - Terrible match, however. 4/10 3. Rick Martel Vs. Tatanka (Lol inc.) - 1 uninteresting match. 5/10 4. Ric Flair/Razor Ramon Vs. Randy Savage/Mr. Perfect - Great booked match, but stupid ending. 6/10 5. Yokozuna Vs. Virgil -Yokozuna's PPV debut 6/10 6. The Beverly Brothers/I.R.S./Ted Dibiase Vs. Natural Disasters/Nasty Boys 5.5/10 7. Kamala Vs. The Undertaker - Kamala is one ridiculous and very bad wrestler. Match suffers by his wrestling skills...8. WWF Championship: Shawn Michaels (IC Champ) Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - Finally some watchable Main Event Instead Hulk Vs Rest of the World or Macho or at worst Piper or Warrior. This was solid match. 7/10 SANTA? Oh no....

Firstly, let me say that the 1992 Survivor Series broke with tradition. Survivor Series made it's debut in 1987 and up until 1991 it was an event which featured teams of four (or five) against each other. The 1992 Survivor Series had one match of that description but the rest were regular tag and singles matches which was a bit disappointing. After all, I think most fans enjoyed seeing teams of four against each other. Anyway, that's ancient history now because the following year the Survivor Series reverted to it's four VS four formula but I thought I'd mention that above.The whole card was pretty unspectacular. Don't get me wrong-the wrestlers all tried but at the end of the card I felt unfulfilled.The only great match on this card was the main event between WWF Champion Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. For over twenty minutes the two greatest wrestlers of 1992 put on a great show for the fans. This match was brilliant but one match doesn't make a good event.
