5 Worst Survivor Series teams of all time

Survivor Series has been one of my favourite WWE PPV’s of the year since I can remember watching wrestling. After last year’s stellar show, capped off by Goldberg destroying Brock Lesnar, we’re gearing up for another exciting edition this year with the show now being headlined by AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar. Even though it will probably end with one F5, it’ still one of the most hotly anticipated matches this year.

With Survivor Series 2017 is just over a week away, we take a look back at some of the worst Survivor Series teams of all-time. From bad decisions to downright mistakes, let’s take at some of the worst teams Survivor Series has had to offer.

5: Bossman, Viscera, Mideon and Albert (Survivor Series 1999)

The year was 1999. The Attitude Era was in full swing. And, Big Show’s kayfabe father was dead, when the Big Bossman decided to up the ante even further by invading his funeral before driving away with the casket hooked to the back of his car, all the while cracking jokes about drag queens.

This led to a Survivor Series match between Big Show’s team and the Bossman’s team. Bossman’s team wasn’t the most impressive – Bossman, Viscera, Mideon and Albert…..sorry… Prince Albert – but Show’s one took the cake as far as disappointing Survivor Series teams go.

Since Show didn’t want partners, he was randomly assigned teammates with Kai En Tai and Blue Meanie, who were perennial jobbers during their time in the WWE, beloved but still jobbers. How did show react? He destroyed his partners in the locker room during Sunday Night Heat before proceeding to win his match in about a minute and a half on the PPV.

4: The Truth Commission (Survivor Series 1997)

G.I. Joe cosplay anyone?

Oh man, the gang wars. That was what Survivor Series 1997 was all about and regrettably so. Dressed like men doing a bad G.I. Joe cosplay, the Truth Commission were the worst of the “Gangs”. Named Jackyl, Interrogator, Sniper and Recon, they actually managed to win their match on the PPV against Disciples Of Apocalypse, an equally bad team/faction who probably deserved a place of their own on this list.

The Truth Commission’s run ended soon after even though Recon (Bull Buchanan) and Jackyl (Don Callis) found mild success later.

3: Mean Street Posse and British Bull Dog (Survivor Series 1999)

Hardly the most inspiring team

Another team from the 1999 edition of Survivor Series. No disrespect to the Bulldog but he was a shell of his former shelf in 99. As far as the Mean Street Posse go, I absolutely love them but they weren’t known for their in-ring prowess. Remember that Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse is Shane McMahon's best friend in real.

They faced Val Venis, “Sexual Chocolate” Mark Henry, Gangrel and Steve Blackman. Needless to say, it was one of the worst matches of the night and for some inexplicable reason, the match went for 10 minutes. If you hadn’t guessed it already, Bulldog and the Posse lost.

2: Debra, Tori, Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young (Survivor Series 1999)

When this match took place, Tori was the best worker on this team (using the word 'best' as loosely as possible)

Our unprecedented third team from the 1999 edition of Survivor Series, and taking second place on this list, consists of Debra, Tori and two 70-year old legends Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah. They took on the much more legitimate team of Luna Vachon, Jacqueline, Ivory and Terri Runnels.

Coming as a shock to no one, this was one of the worst matches on the card (God bless the women’s revolution) and was somehow won by Mae Young, Moolah, Debra and Torrie.

1: Clowns Are Us

The Royal Family should have been on this list too but a team full of Doinks does the job

We saw the worst Survivor Series of all time on the 1994 edition of the PPV in a team consisting of Doink The Clown and three mini Doinks as they faced the Royal Family, consisting of Jerry Lawler and 3 mini-Jerry Lawler’s.

A complete comedy match, the match was more of a RAW match than something on one of the year’s biggest PPV’s. Doink was eliminated early on and the writing was on the wall for his team as the Royal Family ended up with the win.
