What are the top 5 Survivor Series elimination matches?

[Deleted]

Looking to watch some older matches, so I'm wondering what people recommend?

Is the consensus still the 2003 Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin still the best Elimination Match ever?

Survivor Series 1995 Wild Card as well? Maybe even the 2014 Survivor Series match that lead to the Sting debut?

I've heard the 2005 Smackdown vs. Raw match was worth it for the 10 man commentary team.

So what are the top 5 matches of all time?

IMO
1. Team Cena vs. Team Authority 2014
2. Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff 2003
3. Team Powers of Pain vs. Team Demolition 1988
4. Team Foley vs. Team Ziggler 2012
5. Ultimate Warriors vs. Heenan Family 1989 (maybe not that great from a workrate standpoint but very entertaining as an overall package with Heenan doing his best to stay out of the ring before getting caught and destroyed at the end against the Warrior)

[Instant Classic]

imo

1. Team Cena vs Team Authority
2. Team SD vs Team Raw
3. Team WWF vs Team Alliance
4. Team Austin vs Team Bischoff
5. Team DX/Hardys/Punk(only in here cause it's one of my favs)

The Bodydonnas vs. The Underdogs in 1995 is an extremely fun match to watch despite the name value and is severely underrated in my opinion.

[The Yes Man]

Team Austin vs Team Bischoff is still by far my favorite. It was pretty much perfect.

Team Authority vs Team Zig, err Team Cena is my second favorite.

[Clawley Race]

I'll take the one Dolph was the survivor as all of top 5 with my own fantasy of what happened afterwards.

I'm surprised WWE hasn't edited in Reigns on the Network instead of him.

[Milkman Norm]

1. Team Strike Force vs Team Hart Foundation 1987
2. Owen Hart,Davey Boy Smith & The New Rockers vs The Godwins,Phil LaFon & Doug Furnas 1996
3. Team Demolition vs Team Powers of Pain 1989
4. The Million Dollar Team vs The Dream Team 1990
5. Andre's Team vs Hogan's Team 1987

Team HBK vs Team Yokozuna which had mix of faces and heels on both teams was pretty good.

[Manute Bol]

1. Team WWE vs. Team Alliance (2001) - I think this is often regarded as the best traditional Survivor Series Match. With good reason too; Meltzer gave it 4.5 stars.

2. Team Cena vs. Team Authority (2014) - I know it's a recent match, the banishment of The Authority didn't last all that long, and the Sting debut went nowhere, but it's still a very good match. Meltzer also gave this one 4.5 stars, making these his highest ranked Survivor Series matches.

3. Wild Card Elimination Match (1995) - This could be a pure nostalgia pick, but it's a fun idea that I wish the WWE would use again. Decent match.

4. Hardyz, Edge & Christian vs. Hollys & Too Cool (1999) - This is the peak of Too Cool right here. Absolutely hilarious.

5. women's Survivor Series Match (1987) - Decent match, but I'm a huge Jumping Bomb Angels mark so I have to recommend this one.

I think other notable Survivor Series matches that you will see mentioned a lot in this thread are Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff (2003), and the two huge tag team Survivor Series Matches (1987 & 1988 - both are awesome). I'd also recommend the main event of Survivor Series 1987 with Hogan's team against Bobby Heenan's, but I'm a big Bam Bam Bigelow fan so there's a bit of bias there as well.

Let me know if you end up watching any of these and what you think!

While the payoff got undone shortly after, Cena's team vs. The Authority was great, and notable for finally bringing Sting into WWE.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Hart Family vs. HBK and His Knights

Worth it just for Heenan's commentary.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

The Hulkamaniacs v The Million Dollar Team 1989

One of the greatest teams ever, Hogan, Jake and Demolition, Zeus looks like a monster, Ventura's on fire on commentary, just ripping Hogan to shreds about being saved by the ref countless times, one of the most fun matches I've seen.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

The Smackdown vs. Raw match from 2005 is one of the most phenomenally booked matches I've ever seen, and by a wide margin my favourite Survivor Series match of all time. Not many people looked like a goof, the people you expected to get eliminated first weren't necessarily, Big Show was booked like a BEAST (the way I would always have booked him, then maybe he'd not be such a waste of space now), the booking running up to it had both teams doing some cool shit back when the brands were still separate. It had both teams having faces and heels, but also working accordingly, so JBL acted like a heel even though I think it was only faces left on his team.

Also, as much as the ending wound up making no different, the Authority SS match from last year was pretty amazing. Having Cena go out early rather than being last? Dolph getting a (later pointless) rub? The heels actually looking strong? Fans popping for Ryback? What a match.

Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff is the best Survivor Series matchup and the only thing that even remotely comes close is Team Cena/Team Authority.

It's pretty much the gold standard for Survivor Series matches in my book.
