Posted November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570319 Hands-down, the 88 match with all the tag teams. Last hurrah for the Bulldogs, only time we see them on the same side with the Hart Foundation, and a glance at what could have been seeing them tussle with Arn & Tully.
November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570321 Team Austin vs Team Bischoff, now and forever. The match that made me a fan.
November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570325 As a kid I loved the Marty/Razor/Kid/Savage vs. IRS/Diesel/Adam Bomb/Martel match just because all my babyface faves were on one team. But quality wise, I don't think anything tops 2003 Austin vs. Eric.
November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570326 Heenan Family vs. The Warriors from 1989 is the best. Had the best storytelling and clicked on every level. The announcing, the work, etc... Arn & Haku make up the greatest team that never teamed in this match. The ending is perfect.
November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570328 The Austin v Eric match was good...the immediate post match was better....the 'Coach' section killed any gravitas what came before had.
November 3, 201311 yr comment_5570374 Yeah, those 87 and 88 tag team Survivor Series matches were really good. I'll go with the 2001 WWF versus Alliance as a pretty good one too. As far as Survivor Series elimination matches I'm probably going with Aja Kong, Bison Kimura, Madusa Miceli, Tarantula & Xochilt Hamada vs Manami Toyota, Mariko Yoshida, Kaoru Maeda, Mika Takahashi & Esther Moreno, Hamada's UWF 11/17/90 as my favorite outside WWF.
November 3, 201311 yr Author comment_5570378 The '87 one holds up good too, especially when it's down to The Killer Bees against the Harts, Dream Team and Islanders.
November 4, 201311 yr comment_5570450 I don't normally enjoy matches that go 40 minutes +, but I love those giant tag team Survivor matches. Part of it is the spectacle of having so many guys on the apron in one match, but the real part is the great work and psychology of them. Those matches are so fun to watch I always second Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin as being really great and the best "modern" Survivor match the match where Undertaker debuted was great for what it was supposed to do. I loved the Bret-DiBiase segment
November 7, 201311 yr comment_5571182 I dunno about "best" but the most fun match in modern Survivor Series history is totally DX-Punk-Hardys vs Helms-Nitro-Knox-Edge-Orton from 2006.

That is something I could watch over and over and over again. And never get past the first elimination. Once things settle down I'm out, but everything up until then is absolutely golden. The entire pre-match promo, and then "Who was that guy?"
