Survivor Series 1989
Much like the first two events the PPV is composed of only Traditional Survival Series matches. Although this time they've booked five 4 vs 4 Elimination matches, compared to the four 5 vs 5 that they used to have. I actually like this concept, it gives in more matches and lowers the time for the more pointless ones.

Winners and survivors of the match: Dusty Rhodes and Brutus Beefcake! Pretty generic to be honest. There were some good moments in this match but I think this dragged on for too long, especially with Rooster getting his ass kicked becaue I can't take him seriously at all. It's a good thing that Boss Man is in the opening instead of the main event because despite losing weight, he's still pretty fucking terrible in the ring. **1/2

Winners and survivors of the match: Randy Savage, Earthquake and Dino Bravo! This was much better than the opening contest. Good action all around and the fans were pretty into it. Having Duggan go strong at 3 vs 1 had the crowd going pretty good, but the momentum was killed when Duggan was counted out shortly after. But since Miss. Elizabeth caused the countout it was still pretty awesome. ***2/3

Winner and Sole Survivor of the match! Ultimate Warrior! Well what can I say? This was probably the shortest Survivor Series match but it probably was the most entertaining of the night. Michaels was really going hard to please the crowd, and Warrior just pretty much hot for the entire night. It wasn' bad either considering there was only technically 2 heel wrestlers throughout the night, plus Heenan. Haku and Arn did a good job keeping things interesting agains 4 of the faces, and the ending part with Heenan was brilliant! I was honestly expecting someone to do a run in and have Heenan get the pin but nope, this was pure entertainment. Just wish they had a third heel that wasn't Andre and made the match longer. ***3/4
Post match: Heenan walks out of the ring and heads to the back. Warrior is finished celebrating in the ring and leaves the ring, runs up and clotheslines Heenan down and continues to run away.
Closing Comments: This was a pretty decent show. I'm glad they got rid of the 20 Man Tag match as I didn't really care for them at all (well until some of the teams got eliminated anyways). I was pretty surprised that Hogan's match wasn't in the main event, but I was also surprised that match wasn't better either sorry to say. Alright enough babbling, onto the 90's Survivor Series!!
