Winner & Sole Survivor: The Ultimate Warrior

• EA’s Take: Now this is the kind of pacing a Survivor Series match should have, however this is the only match that would go under 30 minutes tonight. Ultimate Warrior’s momentum is gaining huge right now, but clearly his in-ring skills are a little iffy. The finish of the match was weird and using a simple double axe handle to finish off two guys is pretty weak, in my opinion. Our newcomer in this match The Blue Blazer, would become a much beloved superstar in the future after ditching the mask and performing under his real name, Owen Hart.

Winners & Sole Survivors: The Powers Of Pain

• After The Bell: The Powers Of Pain hoist Mr. Fuji onto the shoulders in celebration, Demolition makes their way back to the ring and the brawl is on. They slam The Powers Of Pain, leveling them with clotheslines and clearing the ring.
• EA’s Take: Brutally long and just like last year’s 10 Man tag, just a total cluster of guys. We do get introduced to a couple of new teams however, as The Rockers arrived from the AWA and jumped into a rivalry with fellow WWF newcomers, The Brainbusters. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, founding members of The Four Horseman, had given their notice to Jim Crockett Promotions. This was one of the last major blows to that company, before being forced to sell to Ted Turner. Demolition and The Powers Of Pain would pull a double-switch in this match, but by the way the crowd reacted, you’d think Mr. Fuji just turned babyface. For The British Bulldogs, this would be their final appearance as a tag team, as their real-life feud with the Rougeaus had gotten out of hand. Dynamite Kid would never compete in the WWF again.
