   Survivor series 5th annual was a blast to watch the team of flair vs. the team of rowdy was probly the best match except for the end ,how it ended in DQ. This match took place during the piper flair rival. 2nd match was probably the worst tino santana or someONE takes on some other GUYS? I dont even know there names and i am a die hard wrestling fan. 3rd match was the late and great Hulk Hogan (champ) vs the Best in my opinion THE UNDERTAKER! tHIS WAS A CLASSIC BOUT and even better the undertaker wins but throughout the night monsoon wont shut up about how taker cheated. 4th match was rockers + bushwackers vs. beverly brothers + amd nasty boys an overal 4 star not bad for a match i thought would be bad. The final match was Boss man and Legion of Doom vs. I.R.S and the natural disasters not bad but hogan and takers match should of been the grand fanaly.wORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!

   This PPV was pretty cool, but the reason it was 4 stars is because of TAKER VS. HOGAN. In true old school fasiion, The Undertaker Beat Hulk Hogan to capture his 1st WWF Title. One of the Best Matches ever

   11/27/1991

   Survivor Series Elimination Match;
   
   Ric Flair,The Mountie,Ted Dibiase,and The Warlord defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper,Bret Hart,(Intercontinental champion)Virgil and The British Bulldog aka Davey Boy Smith
   
   Sole Survivor=Ric Flair.

   Survivor Series Elimination Match;Sgt Slaughter,Jim Duggan,Texas Tornado,and Tito Santana defeated Col.Mustafa,The Berzerker,Skinner and Hercules
   
   Sole Survivors=Jim Duggan,Sgt Slaughter,Texas Tornado,and Tito Santana.

   Survivor Series Elimination Match;The Beverly Brothers and The Nasty Boyz defeated The Rockers(their last match as a tag team before they spit up on 1/12/1992,on Brutus “The Barber” Beefcakes barbershop segment show)and The Bushwackers
   
   Sole Survivors=The Nasty Boys and Blake Beverly.

   Survivor Series Elimination Match;The Legion of Doom and The Big Bossman defeated The Natural Disasters(Earthquake and Typhoon)and Irwin R. Schyster(I.R.S).

   WWF Championship Match;
   
   The Undertaker defeated WWF Champion Hulk Hogan after interference from Ric Flair to win the title.(Ric Flair slid an chair under the ring,and then The Undertaker tombstoned Hulk Hogan on it for the win.Their would later be an rematch at;This Tuesday in Texas on 12/3/1991 with Hogan winning,but then former WWF president Jack Tunney would change the decision weeks later due to the contoversial finish at the p.p.v and then hold up the title until the 1992 Royal Rumble with the winner winning the WWF Championship which turned out to be none other than-Ric Flair).

   Overall a pretty classic video with The Undertaker(who had just debuted at the 1990 Survivor Series the year before)winning his first WWF Championship,and also this was the last match that The Rockers had before they eventually splitted up an month or two later after Shawn Michaels turned on Marty Jannetty on the Wrestling Challenge on 1/12/1992 after throwing Jannety through an window on Brutus “The Barber” Beefcakes barber shop segment show).

   Jack Tunney opens the PPV to talk about the Savage/Roberts incident. He should have wrestled in the main events because they both appeared to be fine as they’d both give interviews live at the event. It was just a way to sell the upcoming Tuesday in Texas, which was a very smart idea.

   Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, Virgil, and Davey Boy Smith VS Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase, Mountie, and Warlord: This was a very good match. The ending was a typical, cheap Survivor Series finish. Piper throws Flair over the top rope and then all the remaining superstars fight in the ring and the ref disqualifies all of them. Flair was on the outside and is declared the winner. Very enjoyable but the ending sucked.

   Sgt Slaughter, Jim Duggan, Texas Tornado, and Tito Santana VS Col Mustafa (Iron Sheik) ,The Berzerker, Skinner and Hercules: A pretty crappy match

   Undertaker VS Hulk Hogan: A good match up with Flair helping Undertaker win. This match would set up the PPV Tuesday in Texas, which was less then a week after this event. It was a rare move back in the 90′s but now it’s nothing new nowadays.

   Beverly Brothers and Nasty Boys VS Rockers and Bushwackers: I skipped this match because I could really careless about any team but the Rockers.

   Legion of Doom and Bossman VS Typhoon, Earthquake, and IRS: This match took place as a 3-on-3 elimination match due to what took place between Roberts and Savage earlier. It was a decent match with Typhoon and Earthquake turning good in the end.

   The end of the PPV has an awesome promo with Undertaker and Paul Bearer.

   Overall, besides two crappy elimination matches this was still a very good PPV and i’d recommend watching it.

   I remember watching this PPV live & just remembering that this was nothing more than a 2.5 hour informercal to promote another PPV that WWF was having less than a week later. The two main attractions that people wanted to see for this event were nothing more than bait to have you turn into that event & WWF seemed to put more focus into that “Tuesday In Texas” event than their yearly tradition of Survivor Series because alot of the matches weren’t as good in quality as the years before with some booking that just looked stupid in the end. At least watching this on tape years later, you know what these plot twist are & how the event shaped up afterall but this years Survivor Series was just a plain disappointment. By the way, a message was scrolled across the bottom of the screen whenever the “Tuesday In Texas” PPV was mentioned to let people know that the matches are available on the 1993 Supertape VHS.

   At the start of the show, Jack Tunney announced that Randy Savage would face Jake Roberts at the “Tuesday In Texas” PPV & neither man would be in the main event match at Survivor Series. WWF teased that Savage would replace the injured Sid Justice leading to the Roberts/Savage confrontation at Survivor Series but WWF did the bait & switch.

   “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, The Mountie & The Warlord defeated “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Bret “Hitman” Hart, “British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith, & Virgil – This was the best elimination match as everyone really worked well together & it had segments of comedy, brawling, and straight wrestling at various times. However, the ending of this match really took away from the match itself as all the remaining participants except Flair (Bulldog & Warlord were already eliminated earlier) were disqualified for brawling while Flair was on the floor leaving him the sole survivor. Also, a funny “watch out for this” moment is that WWF were doing a storyline where they were distorting Ric Flair’s World Title belt (the current World Championship in WWE & “big gold belt” used in WCW & NWA) but if you look closely at Flair’s entrance when they’re distorting the belt…he’s holding up the Tag Team Championship & not the other belt.

   “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, “El Matador” Tito Santana, & “Texas Tornado” Kerry Von Erich defeated Colonel Mustafa, Hercules, The Berzerker, & Skinner – This match is very similar to the Team DX vs. Team RKO match that would happen 15 years later at Survivor Series where the faces completely did a clean sweap on the heel team & weren’t put in danger one time during this match.

   WWF Champion Hulk Hogan vs. Undertaker – They were back & forth as Hogan looked like the hero he always does but Undertaker was just unstoppable. In the end because of interfearence by Ric Flair, Hogan lost the title to Undertaker after being tombstoned on a chair. After this match, Jack Tunney set up a rematch because of the outside interfearence by Ric Flair & the fact that the referee’s decision is final. The rematch would happen at…TUESDAY IN TEXAS!
   
   This match is also available on the Undertaker’s Anthology DVD. The “Tuesday In Texas” rematch is also available on Hulk Hogan’s DVD sets (Hulk Still Rules & Ultimate Anthology)

   Rockers & Bushwackers vs. Nasty Boys & Beverly Brothers – This was another good match that was given enough time to become something better than expected but the main story of this match would be the tension between Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty that teased the eventual breakup of the Rockers.

   Legion Of Doom & Big Boss Man vs. I.R.S. & Natural Disasters – Because of the decision regarding Savage & Roberts, most of the heat for this match was gone & the match itself was really lackluster after that as the eliminations of the Natural Disasters killed off whatever heat was left for the match before Legion Of Doom eventually won it.

   Overall, this was an average PPV that was ruined by constantly trying to plug another PPV instead of focusing on the PPV that people payed for that night along with pulling the bait & switch regarding Savage/Roberts after it was teased for weeks. This is only good for a rental as the most memorable match on here is available on Undertaker’s DVD that you can find for a cheaper price.
