Diesel, Jeff Jarrett, Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart & Shawn Michaels vs. Fatu, Razor Ramon, Sionne, The 1-2-3 Kid & The British Bulldog

[5.0] "It really isn't that bad. For a long time, it's a solid exhibition match that clearly puts the heels led by Diesel on the path to victory, before the final split with HBK takes place. That one superkick is just one too many, and things start to fall apart for the Teamsters. A solid five points."

[4.0] "Low match, I didn't get too many of the things that were happening here, but spots it got were good, the storyline It had was well done, but just the match was kinda boring for me and then the whole Diesel team eliminated and just Razor Ramon winning by staying. 4/10 [**1/2]"

[9.0] "I'm a sucker for a good old Survivor Series elimination match, and I actually thought this was a great example of the match type mostly done really well. The ending is a bit strained but the crowd reacted to Diesel's turn, plus we got to see some tremendous work from Owen, Razor, and Waltman in particular."

[4.0] "This match was decently well worked, and the story line made sense. Since Diesel was going to be WWF Champion in just a few days time, it made sense to do something of a face turn here, set in motion the angle against Shawn, and make him look dominant. But there is too much in the way of illogical booking and brain dead decisions that prevents me from at all liking this match. First, of COURSE the (at this point) prima donna Shawn Michaels can't even be bothered to enter the ring and wrestle a tiny bit of this match. I get that he is supposed to just be an annoying fly buzzing around Diesel while taking no action, but how about letting him tag in a few times when he was a huge advantage to get under his skin more? He couldn't be asked. Next, the gimmick with Fatu not being able to wear boots is...stupid. I get it. He is an islander and wrestled barefoot. But are you telling me they are asking me to believe that no one from Samoa wears shoes ever? Come on. Last. Counting out the entire team at once? An absolutely mouth drooling finish. No separate count for all 5 of them? Not ONE of the heels was smart enough to start in or near the ring? It isn't like the Shawn/Diesel situation effected the other three. Let them go and continue on! There is absolutely nothing I hate more than a match that questions your intelligence, and this particular match did so many times to an infuriating degree. Decent match, but utter nonsense."

[6.0] "A bit of a letdown considering who all was in the match. I did enjoy the ending with all of Diesel's team getting counted out, even though it didn't make sense (Can't only the legal men get counted out? ) It was a clever way to have Razor survive all odds."

[6.0] "The match is fine, but the ending feels a bit flat. Diesel's face turn is fantastically done, but it ultimately just ends the match on a flat note with the whole heel team getting counted out."

[7.0] "This was a fun match that was cleverly structured. There is a lengthy period of time where everybody in the match seems very evenly matched, with a lot of talented wrestlers having some fun, competitive exchanges. It's the perfect way to set up Diesel finally getting tagged in and immediately crushing and eliminating three men. It was a great way to make him seem like an unstoppable force. The split between Diesel and HBK is well executed and serves the story well, but the finish was a little illogical (the entire team got counted out even though only one of them was legal? ). I can let it slide because it worked for the story, but inconsistent enforcement of the rules are a pet peeve of mine. At any rate, it was a fun match that was a very effective way of putting over several wrestlers (little details like Shawn never tagging in until the very end) and beginning Diesel's face run, particularly with his impending World Title reign looming."

[7.0] "It had to be good given the amount of talent in the ring. The action was quick and fluid and you could see the best possible pure wrestling here while also telling the story with an excellent character work. Michaels was phenomenal throughout the whole thing with his charisma even though he was in the ring for only like a minute, Diesel got put over like a star and Razor once again showed what a great babyface he was."

[6.0] "Pretty good for the most part, both teams had plenty of talent, you had feuds going into it and some good storytelling for the HBK/Diesel breakup. The finish prevents it from being better. Counting everyone out on the same 10 count doesn't really make sense"

[6.0] "This was a good opener. WWE did a good job in making Diesel look as overpowered as possible before his babyface turn and subsequent WWE title run. Only let down for me was all 5 team members getting counted out"

[7.0] "Overall the match was good. However this match was more for storyline development. as it set up the split between Disel and Shawn Michaels. Until the last 5-10 minutes when Diesel cleaned house and eventually the match ended with all 5 heels being counted out."

[6.0] "Match goes for a long stretch before Diesel just starts tanking the whole baby face team. Headshrinkers get jackknifed and pinned, this was the time when Samu left and Barbarian came in for a few months as the new Headshrinker before leaving for WCW to team up with Warlord again as part of the Super Assassins. The Kid gets powerbombed and pinned and he sells it outside the ring for a good amount of time. Bulldog gets booted outside and Owen and Neidhart tie him up for the countout so now Razor has to go 1 on 5. That doesn't go well. Diesel is about to put him away and for the first time Shawn tags in (I noticed Shawn wasn't wearing knee pads tonight so that might be a tell he wasn't going to wrestle at all) Shawn orders Diesel back in to hold up Razor for a superkick and of course, instead of putting Razor away the first time, the kick goes awry and Diesel eats shoe in the same fashion that cost him the IC title at SummerSlam. Diesel goes nuts and chases Shawn out of the building who abandons the tag titles and the rest of the heels get counted out for leaving the ring or some dumb crap that made no sense! Match was going good before the garbage finish which was all about getting Diesel over as the new super baby face in town before letting him squash Backlund for the World Title days later."

[7.0] "Great opener, I enjoyed it a lot until the last 10 mins or so. There were loads of quality talents on display here, and they all got a fair amount of time to shine. Diesel consecutively eliminating four people in a row was a rather questionable booking, but I did like how they carried out the Shawn/Diesel story and break-up at the end. [***1/2]"

[7.0] "As Survivor Series matches go this was pretty entertaining. I liked the Shawn/Diesel story even if it was a little cack handed but the WWF are hardly noted for subtle story telling. The ref should have counted to 50 for the finish though."

[5.0] "It was a decent match that was storyline heavy that was used to further the rift between Diesel and Michaels. There were no eliminations in the first 13 minutes."

[6.0] "A fine but not memorable Survivor Series Match, only memorable part for me was when Diesel went on that rampage."

[8.0] "A very dynamic match, the speeds were pretty high even when compared to last years Survivor Series matches. The ending was interesting and unique, moreover, it fueled interest to the Shawn vs Diesel feud. Just perfect openair."

[7.0] "Very good Survivor Series elimination match, the talent on both sides was just fantastic. Sionne is probably the only wrestler I don't rate highly, and even then he was perfectly fine here. You also had a fun story where Diesel eliminated three members of the other team in quick succession before the heels threw it all away at the end. Definitely worth a look."
