@@arthurjones3670 1. What happened during that match is what would have happened if Lawler was in there 2. This thing called ego 3. No 4. If you count the 4 Doink's it's 1993 with 8(Perfect, Lawler, Doink(4), Tatanka, & Pierre all out); 1994, 2000, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2013, & 2022 all had zero replacements

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Mr. Perfect replacing the Ultimate Warrior, teaming with Randy Savage at Survivor Series 1992 is the best replacement/angle ever done. Mr. Perfect was essentially written off by that point as an active wrestler, but it made sense from a storyline perspective for him to come out of retirement, and be his tag team partner. The angle aired before that on Prime Time with Flair, Razor, Heenan, Savage and Perfect was perfectly done, no pun intended.

​​@@WeAreProWrestlingI've always had a theory about why that angle worked. It's well-known that Perfect wanted back in physically, if possible (see Summerslam 92, Macho vs. Warrior), so my guess is that Heenan, Perfect, and Razor, all AWA buds, had this angle planned out over road trips in the prior few months since Hall had come to the WWF. When you're that meticulous, you're gonna make gold.

yeah, rewatching that PPV, Heenan did such a good job selling this as the biggest betrayal ever that it made this such a hot angle, it really felt like a big, big deal and not some replacement thing. Shame the finish to the match was a dud, but without a doubt a blueprint of how to make the best out of a bad situation. But also LOL that still to this day the thumbnail on the network for SS 1993 shows Ultimate Warrior on it.

Probably the biggest bait and switch in WWE history

This is a good subject to talk about especially with the Big 4 PPVs. There's a few I was aware about but I'm interested in seeing some other ones mentioned here.

Here's a couple: Survivor Series 2002, Lance Storm & William Regal were advertised to face Goldust & the Hurricane but it was pushed to Sunday Night Heat. The next year 2003, Jamie Noble was scheduled to challenge Tajiri for the Cruiserweight championship but that too got pushed to Heat

So interesting to think about what if Bad News doesn't leave the company and that spot isn't there for Taker to debut on this night, imagine how different history would be

I think the bad news brown replacement turned out pretty well right

The 1999 WWF Survivor Series began a chain of events that would lead up to WrestleMania XVI on April 2, 2000. It would be the insertion of The Big Show into The Triple Threat World Wrestling Federation Championship Match replacing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. That changed everything.

A little note on Lawler's Knights in 1993: they were supposed to be Valentine, Terry Funk, and Jimmy Snuka and they were all supposed to be unmasked. However, Snuka feel through and Funk said his horse was sick so only Valentine was left as the Blue Knight. The other two got replaced by Jeff Gaylord and Barry Horowitz. Because of those being somewhat lackluster names, the unmasking idea was scrapped as well.

That's how it basically was. Men on a Mission and the Bushwhackers in clown make-up which a lot of people deemed as the worst Survivor Series match ever.

The one where The Authority took Swagger out made no sense when Swagger wrestled on the preshow and won against Cesaro

I was Devo when Big Bully Busick was pulled from SS91😂

2:22 I'm guessing this is the same scheme in which Blackjack and his son Kendal went to jail for a brief period of time in Florida

Rock vs Austin vs HHH would be a banger with three top guys going at it in an all out war with the three of them spamming their finishing moves and brawling all over the arena with Helmsley winning via a botched Vince McMahon assist!

3;48 What's forgettable about Boris Zhukov being on The Mercenaries? For one thing he was Nikokai's ex-Bolsheviks tag partner so a natural matchup there. For another thing, he and Slaughter had feuded in the AWA so it made nice sense for Traitor Slaughter to ally with him (see also Adnan and later on Mustafa/Iron Sheik). Finally it was also a secret reunion of the Cobra Corps tag team from 1983 Jim Crockett Promotions when Zhukov - then known as Private Jim Nelson - was Slaughter's tag partner - along with fellow Private and Slaughter's NWA World Tag Team Championship partner (and Nelson's Mid Atlantic tag championship partner) Don Kernodle (who in '83 was in the WWF with his next NWA tag title partner Ivan Koloff before they both returned to JCP in 1984 to introduce Nikita) - before Nelson turned babyface on Slaughter and Kernodle and feuded with them. So there was a lot of interesting back history there.

5:00 Davey's IC title loss to Shawn Michaels was already booked to go ahead before he was fired. Shawn was supposed to be the next IC champ anyway, Davey was only added as interim champion to give the ending of Summerslam in London that extra bit of spice.

The acronym for This Tuesday in Texas is TTIT That's the whole post

Warrior didn't just leave in 1991, he was fired after the main event at SummerSlam that year for holding up the show for more money that he felt Vince owed him. He told Vince that unless he gets paid what he felt Vince owed him, he was not going to go out for the main event handicap match made in hell with Hulk Hogan against the Triad of Terror (Sgt. Slaughter, Gen. Adnan and Col. Mustafa a.k.a. The Iron Shiek)

I absolutely hate Survivor Series since they went to War Games. How about instead of one fall, the match continues until all members of one team are eliminated?

For the triple threat WWF title match in 1999. Solomonster talked about it and said in his opinion Test should’ve been added in instead. And he made some good points on why and I agree. Test was pretty popular. Not like Stone Cold & Rock. He got reactions when his music hit. And the whole thing with the wedding with Stephanie that happened it could’ve added more to the feud (if you wanna call it that) with Test and Triple H battling over the WWF Title and the hand of Stephanie instead of having Tets pretty much be punked out by DX every time and never get his payback on some form. Plus Test wasn’t in action that night. Although it would’ve changed what happened with Big Show afterwards. Don’t know if it would’ve still went the same with Big Show and everything that happened at the Royal Rumble, No Way Out. & WrestleMania.
