by Rob Goodwin @REALRobGoodwinSo Survivor Series in the early to mid 90’s was a completely different kettle of fish to the product we have now right!? Take 2017’s Survivor Series show. The entire PPV was based around Brand Supremacy and the fact this is the only time of the year where the two brands would meet. We had Champion vs. Champions matches and Survivor Series matches that made sense in kayfabe (even if the endings were beyond confusing!) In 1993 however, we open with Lex Luger wearing the most outrageously 90’s jumper you will ever see, with his family in front of a roaring fire wishing us all a Happy Thanksgiving! ...I...I have no words! Truth is, Survivor Series in it’s early forms was synonymous with Thanksgiving in the WWE’s eyes and the PPV was intended to be a time for patriotism and love of America! To prove this, not one of the WWF titles were defended on this show. Instead, we have a team called the All Americans (including The Undertaker), taking on a team called the Foreign Fantatics (including Crush, who was born in Hawaii)...I didn’t say it made sense did I! Oh also, Tatanka features prominently on the promotional material, ie. the poster, yet doesn’t feature on the PPV in any capacity, explain that one to me! Match #1 - 123 Kid, Razor Ramon, Randy Savage & Marty Janetty vs. Adam Bomb, Diesel, Irwin R Schyster & Rick Martel |
