#2 Former WWE superstar Gene Snitsky (Survivor Series 2004)

The same Survivor Series saw Gene Snitsky main event a WWE pay-per-view. He was a member of Team Triple H, attacking Maven backstage before the match.

In an uncomfortable moment, Snitsky met Heidenreich backstage. Upon meeting him, Snitsky stated, breathing hard, that he loved his poetry. The former replied that he liked what Snitsky did to babies.

Snitsky was attacked by a returning Maven in the main event and was soon disqualified from the match for attacking him with a steel chair.


#1 WWE Hall of Famer Hillbilly Jim (Survivor Series 1989)

Hillbilly Jim is a WWE Hall of Famer, but he wasn't known for being a main eventer. However, he headlined the second Survivor Series event, where he teamed up with The Mega Powers, Hercules, and Koko B'Ware.

He didn't prove to be a boost to his team as the heels quickly eliminated him. Akeem "The African Dream," fka The One Man Gang, promptly attacked him and finished him with an Air Africa splash.

Hillbilly Jim didn't prove to be a credible main eventer in his career, but he perfected his job as a beloved crowd entertainer.
