Hulk Ranks Every Survivor Series From Best To Worst

1. 1995: Ladies and gentlemen, the Greatest Survivor Series Of All Time!!!! Which is surprising considering how awful things were for WWE in 1995. I mean, just 1 month prior, the company put on one of its worst shows ever: In Your House: Great White North. Just how bad was it? Vince McMahon threw his headset off in disgust after the show was over. It was that bad. The turnaround in quality between these 2 PPVs is staggering. The show opened up with an Elimination Tag Match that saw the company throw some of their most underrated, underappreciated wrestlers and let them lose for nearly 20 minutes. Unsurprisingly, guys like Hakushi, Marty Jannetty, The 1-2-3 Kid (Sean Waltman), Rad Radford (Louie Spicolli), and Skip (Chris Candido) delivered a great match. After that, we got another preview of a Women’s Revolution that wasn’t as some of the best female wrestlers from All Japan came stateside to give us a great little 10 minute Elimination Tag Match. It such a shame they end up letting their Women’s Champion go a month later. The middle 2 matches (Goldust VS Bam Bam Bigelow and The Darkside VS The Royals) weren’t all that memorable, but they weren’t outright terrible. In fact, we got a little preview of The Undertaker’s future as he changed things up and worked a much faster pace than he normally had at that point. We also got a little preview of Survivor Series PPVs to come with the Wild Card Match, with heels and babyfaces mixed together, a type of match WWE would return to often in its RAW VS SmackDown! Survivor Series PPVs. But, the best part was the main event: a No DQ Match for the WWE Title between Diesel and Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Hart gave Diesel the best match of his career in a great hardcore bout that would become standard during the Attitude Era. It even had Bret getting dropped through the Spanish Announcers table. And, that’s what made this PPV so great; it planted the seeds for the Attitude Era and was a welcome change from the cartoonish booking that had dominated WWE’s New Generation Era; it’s not surprising that the next year we’d get Stone Cold’s infamous King Of The Ring PPV. Plus, it shined head and shoulders above the rest of the crap in 1995. In fact, the only bad thing about this show was that it has the lowest PPV buyrate for all the Big 5 PPVs (128,000 buys). The fact that this great PPV got such a low rating is f***ing criminal. But, it does go to show that quantity doesn’t always equal quality.
