zkonedog One would think that a three-star rating for Survivor Series 1994 would be considered a disappointment. However, after how inconsistent of a product WWF had become by the end of 1994, it is actually almost a bit refreshing to see an event just be "okay" and not utterly plagued by issues.The tag matches here are exactly what you'd expect from SS. If you are into tag matches you'll love it. If not, the FF button will be utilized frequently.The two featured matches of the event are: -Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart: I should hate this dumb angle, but for some reason it works for me. I wish Vince McMahon would have concocted the angle a bit less over-the-top and instead played it more straight, but Backlund is still just odd enough to create some intrigue. -Casket Match: Yokozuna vs. The Undertaker. Yokozuna was pretty much played out by this point (those big boys not named Andre have such limited shelf lives), but Taker gives a great performance as per the usual.Overall, the '94 Survivor Series was an okay event. Not among the greats, but enough entertainment to keep you from being bored. At this point in WWF history, that is progress.

SlyGuy21 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.

bh_tafe3 Well the WWE made a return to five on five Survivor Series matches this year, after many years of four on four matches. There were two big singles matches on the card, one between Bret Hart and Bob Backlund and the other pitting Yokozuna against the Undertaker in a casket match.The evening started off with The Bad Guys (Razor Ramon, 1-2-3 Kid, British Bulldog and the Headshrinkers Sionne and Fatu) defeating the Teamsters (Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Jeff Jarrett, Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart). The Teamsters dominated the match, with Fatu, 1-2-3 Kid, Sionne and the British Bulldog were all eliminated, most of them by Diesel, leaving only Razor. Razor, hopelessly outnumbered, was beaten senseless but Shawn Michaels cost his team the match when he accidentally super kicked Diesel. This was the same thing that had happened a few months before at Summerslam and Diesel was very unhappy and started brawling with Michaels. The rest of the team came to help out and all five men were counted out, making Razor the winner. Shawn Michaels who was co-holder of the tag belts with Diesel at that stage, cut all ties to the big man after the match and vacated the title.Next up saw Jerry Lawler beaten up by six midgets after his team: The Royal Family (Jerry Lawler, Queasy, Sleazy and Cheesy) defeated Doink's team Clowns R Us (Doink, Dink, Wink and Pink) in a comedy match with little to it.Next up came the big WWE championship match between Champion Bret Hart and Bob Backlund. Backlund had been WWE Champion for five years unbroken from 1978-1983, but was now claiming that he never lost the title legitimately 11 years earlier because his manager had given up on him, throwing in the white towel, and he had not actually submitted. So on this day both men had to have a corner-man and the only way you could win was by forcing your opponent's corner man to throw in the towel. IN Bret's corner was his brother in law the British Bulldog, in Backlund's corner was Owen Hart. These two had a miraculously good match given Backlund's age (44) and it was decided by the weaselly Owen. Bret had Backlund in the sharpshooter and had nearly knocked him out, but instead of throwing the towel in, Owen clotheslined Bret from behind. Perfectly legal because the only way to win or lose was by having your corner man throw in the towel. Bulldog then chased Owen around, but tripped on the steps and was knocked out, distracting Bret. Backlund then put Bret into the chicken wing and Owen talked his mother Helen into throwing in the towel on Bret's behalf. Owen celebrated with Backlund, the new WWE Champion. His joy would be short lived. He was beaten for the title by Diesel three days later.Next up came another big Survivor Series match, this one based around Lex Luger's feud with Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation. Luger had been betrayed by his friend Tatanka at Summerslam who had made him look like a fool in their one on one match. Luger wanted revenge, but didn't get any on this night as the Million Dollar Team (Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy, Tom Prichard and Jimmy Del Ray) defeated Guts and Glory (Lex Luger, Adam Bomb, Mabel, Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn). Mabel started things off by pinning Prichard, but was then double teame4d by Bigelow and Bundy and counted out. Bigelow then eliminated Adam Bomb, but Luger squared things up a few minutes later pinning Del Ray. Bart and Billy Gunn were then eliminated by Tatanka and Bundy respectively. Luger then pinned Tatanka, but Bundy splashed Luger to win the match. He and Bigelow were the Survivors. Luger's team returned to the ring to save him from a beat down from Bigelow, Bundy and Tatanka. That was the end of the Luger/ MDC feud.The guest referee in the main event was none other than Chuck Norris, and he had a big say on the match too as The Undertaker defeated Yokozuna in a casket match. Jeff Jarrett had interfered in the match, but was taken care of by Norris. This was Yokozuna's final main event match for the WWE, he was mainly used as a tag teamer after this, before weight issues forced him to leave. He died in 2002 and remains an under rated monster bad guy, who could sell a beating as well as any big guy.
