WWF Survivor Series 1989 - November 1989


WWF Survivor Series 1989 - November 23rd 1989 - Rosemont, Illinois

Matches
Dusty Rhodes, Brutus Beefcake, Tito Santana, The Red Rooster defeated Big Bossman, Bad News Brown, Rick Martel and Honky Tonk Man (5/10)
Randy Savage, Canadian Earthquake, Dino Bravo, Greg Valentine defeated Jim Duggan, Bret Hart, Ronnie Garvin and Hercules (7/10)
Hulk Hogan, Demolition and Jake Roberts defeated Ted Dibiase, Powers of Pain and Zeus (7/10)

Rick Rude, Mr Perfect and Fabolous Rougeaus defeated Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka and the Bushwhackers (6/10)
The Ultimate Warrior and the Rockers defeated Bobby Heenan, Andre the Giant, Haku and Arn Anderson (8/10)



Moments - Positives
Actually this was an enjoyable Survivor Series with a couple of stand-out moments. Warrior getting his hands on Bobby Heenan after the rest of his team was eliminated, a great performance from the Rockers which really showed off the talents of Shawn Michaels, a great feud between Roddy Piper and Rick Rude as well as a good match between Hogan's team and the Million Dollar Man.

Moments - Negatives
The opening match was certainly the worst of the whole show and as typical with the Survivor Series PPV matches all the bouts seemed to be that little bit too long which meant that it was difficult to give every match full attention.

Overall Summary
As with any Survivor Series, I cannot give it a large score. The score below is on par with the Summerslam 1989 which I probably enjoyed just as much as this PPV. The matches itself were not amazing but the feuds and some of the teams made the event a little bit more fun.

SCORE = 7.0
