Overall Mark: B+ - What A Great Event!by on 18 June 20021 out of 1 people found the following review useful:
The Survivor Series events from 1992-1995 were pretty average. When I
watched Survivor Series 1996 I was pleased because it was a return to form
for one of my favourite PPV events of the year.
The card was so memorable for so many reasons. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
made
his first Survivor Series appearance since the 1991 event. The Rock (then
known as Rocky Maivia) made his debut and overcome the odds in a heated
match. And we also got to see the return of veteran wrestler Jimmy
Superfly
Snuka.
In addition to the elimination matches we got to see Bret Hart battle
Steve
Austin in a brilliant match and Sycho Sid and Shawn Michaels assembled an
awesome encounter for the WWF Championship. - Well Done Survivor Seriesby on 11 March 2015from United StatesSurvivor Series has been a Pay Per View known for the debuts of many
famous WWF wrestlers and this one was no different taking place in
Madison Square Garden in New York City this Survivor Series shows how
well it can be given the chance.
Now let's review the show.
1. Doug Furnas, Phil Lafon and The Godwinns (Henry O and Phineas I) VS
Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and
Leif Cassidy) Survivor Series Elimination Match. Now this being the
opening match it has to be clever and convincing to get the fans into
the show and it did a good match.
Rating: 7 out of 10
2. The Undertaker vs Mankind. Paul Bearer was forced to hang in a cage
over the arena. The Undertaker and Mankind in 1996 had a very good feud
and many original match types came into wake from this feud. This match
proves why both men did great together plus seeing Paul hanging over
the ring is something you don't see these days. Both men gave us a war
in the match plus the Undertaker's entrance was amazing when he came
into the arena from the roof with a giant cape like batman.
Rating: 9 out of 10
3.Marc Mero, Rocky Maivia, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Stalker vs
Crush, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Goldust
Survivor Series Elimination Match. This match features the debut of the
man would later become known as The Rock. This match was very solid as
you can expect in a Elimination Survivor Series match. Everyone did
pretty well in this match and shows what was to become of Rocky Maivia.
Rating: 8 out of 10
4. Bret "Hitman" Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold challenge
Bret to come out of retirement to face him and he got his wish. Bret
help put Stone Cold over with the fans as both men would give us a feud
like no other. Both men work a strong match and told a great story in
the match both men just went to war in the match.
Rating: 9 out of 10
5.Faarooq,Vader, Razor Ramon and Diesel VS Flash Funk, Jimmy "Superfly"
Snuka, Savio Vega, and Yokozuna Survivor Series Elimination Match. I
have seen better matches and this match just could have been better if
it had a clue win.
Rating: 6 out of 10
6. Sycho Sid vs Shawn Michaels for the World Wrestling Federation
Championship. Now this being the main event it has to be right and
lucky it was enough to close out the show as both men went to war for
the WWF title. Shawn was given a strong year as the WWF Champion in
1996 and now he face a giant challenge at Survivor Series.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Overall this is one of the strongest Survivor Series and best WWF PPVS
that has been made and shows why it was fun to be a Wrestling fan.
Check it out.
I give WWF Survivor Series 1996 an 8 out of 10 - Austin Vs. Hart were better than Main eventby on 16 January 2014from Czech Republic1. Jesse James/Aldo Montaya/Bob Holly/Bart Gunn Vs. The
Sultan/Salvatore Sincere/Justin Bradshaw/Billy Gunn - It reminds me
setting up only for Gunns. - 6/10
2. Owen Hart/The British Bulldog/New Rockers Vs. Doug Furnas/Phillip
Lafon/The Godwinns - Very surprising winners! But Owen sold good. It
was his credit. 7.5/10/10
3. Mankind Vs. The Undertaker - They know it better. But nice done one.
7/10
4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley/Goldust/Crush/Jerry Lawler Vs. Marc Mero/The
Stalker/Rocky Maivia/Jake Roberts - Hehe Crush without his legendary
Mullet. Victory and push for Maivia 6.5/10
5. Stone Cold Vs Bret Hart - Legend versus Newbie with Push, pretty
exciting thing. 8/10
6. Faarooq/Vader/Fake Diesel & Fake Razor Ramon Vs. Savio
Vega/Yokozuna/Flash Funk/Jimmy Superboring Snuka - Now that was low:
Fake Now-WCW wrestlers, Snuka, Vega and DQ ending with not so good
action along. 5/10
7. WWF Heavyweight Championship: Psycho Sid Vs. Champ-Shawn Michaels
6.5/10 - Very enjoyable PPVby on 5 July 2009from AustraliaShawn Michaels failed title run came to an end, much to pleasure of the
crowd Bret Hart returned to PPV and had a classic with Steve Austin,
Mankind and Undertaker's never ending rivalry continued and some young
punk named Rocky Maivia made his PPV debut on this entertaining show
that marked a return to form by the WWE after some fairly mediocre PPVs
throughout 1996. Maybe it was being back in their traditional home of
Madison Square Garden that finally bought the best out of them.
The night started off with the ECW Tag Team of Doug Furnas and Phil
Lafond teaming up with the Godwinns (Phineas and Henry) to defeat Owen
Hart, the British Bulldog, Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy in a
Survivor Series match. The match went a fair while before Jannetty was
eliminated by Henry Godwinn, who was almost immediately eliminated by
the opportunistic Owen Hart. Phineas was eliminated following a running
power slam from the British Bulldog a short time later. Lafon was able
to square things up, eliminating Leif Cassidy with a sweet suplex from
the second rope. Lafon also eliminated the Bulldog following a
schoolboy to leave he and Furnas against Owen Hart. Hart dug deep, but
eventually fell to Furnas after a suplex leaving Furnas and Lafon as
the Survivors in an entertaining match.
The next match saw the never ending feud between Mankind and Undertaker
continue. Undertaker had been buried alive in the previous PPV, despite
winning his match against Mankind and here he was able to win a
standard one on one match. The rivalry had just about run out of puff
by this stage. Two guys can only meet a certain number of times before
they start going over old ground.
Next it was time for another four on four Survivor Series match, and
for Rocky Maivia (or as he was later known The Rock) to make his first
PPV appearance. And he made quite an impression too, being the sole
Survivor as his team, which included Marc Mero, Jake Roberts and Barry
Windham (or the stalker as he was now called) defeated Crush, Jerry
Lawaler, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Goldust. Roberts pinned Lawler
after a fair bit of wrestling. Goldust evened things up a short time
time later, pinning Windham, Mero then pinned Helmsley after a
Merosault, but was himself eliminated by Crush a short time later. Jake
Roberts was the next to go seconds later, leaving the Rock to eliminate
Crush after a flying body press and then take out Goldust with
shoulderbreaker. This was longer than the opening match, but that
doesn't make it better. But at least it wasn't terrible.
The next match was one of the greatest wrestling matches in WWE history
as the returning Bret Hart faced Stone Cold Steve Austin with the
winner to become the No.1 contender for the WWE Title. Hart looked like
he'd never been gone. Austin looked as good as he'd looked throughout
his WWE run and the crowd was on the edge of their seats as Hart
overcame Austin, countering a sleeper into a pinning predicament to win
one of the very best matches ever seen at Madison Square Garden.
Next up saw what I believe is the only Survivor Series match ever to
not have a single survivor. The Team of Vader, Faarooq, the New Diesel
and Razor Ramon II fought to a no contest with Flash Funk, Jimmy Snuka,
Savio Vega and Yokozuna. Vega was eliminated following a jack knife
from the New Diesel, Razor was pinned after a superfly splash from
Snukka and the other six guys were simultaneously counted out after
brawling. The New Diesel and Razor II were both characters introduced
by Jim Ross as part of a rather silly storyline which was quickly
abandoned. New Diesel went on to become Kane and have a long,
successful career. Razor II didn't work out.
This brings us to the main event which saw the turn coat Sycho Sid
defeat Shawn Michaels after taking out his manager Jose Lothario as a
distraction and then clocking Michaels with a TV camera. Despite the
fact Sid was obviously the bad guy in this story, the MSG crowd poured
out thunderous approval on Sid. I think, like a lot of us, they were a
little sick of Shawn Michaels as Champion and were glad to see someone
new and different win the belt. This was not a terrible match either. A
real shame that the talented Michaels just never quite worked as a fan
favourite champion.
One of the best WWE matches of all time, a well done World title change
and some fun elimination tag matches added up to make Survivor Series
1996 the best PPV since Wrestlemania 12's one match card. A night to be
remembered fondly for anyone who watched WWE wrestling in 1996. - Great Showby on 18 November 2008from OceansideAn awesome show in an exciting time in WWF history. A killer delivery
from Bret Hart--in his return after an eight month absence--and Steve
Austin, in his first big time pay-per view match. The match prompted a
JR, "in the same spot where Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier got it on,
we're seeing this kind of action!" It gave off a big-time fight
atmosphere to say the least, to say Ali-Frazier? I just wouldn't know.
Come to think of it, all Bret Hart-Stone Cold matches had the big-fight
feel. And this one in the Garden.
Shawn Michaels and Sid also delivered a memorable Championship match.
The Main Event saw, conveniently perhaps, the end of Michaels
eight-month run as Champion. "The best eight months of my life,"
Michaels would later say. Sid "snapped" and unpredictably nailed
one-time HBK corner-man Jose Latherio in the chest with a camera,
nailed Michaels with the camera and a Powerbomb, on his way to winning
his first major Championship amid a wildly positive reaction in New
York City.
This was the first show in 1996 where the audience didn't cooperate, so
to speak. Fans cheered Austin and Sid. In Austin-Bret, there was an
ROH-esquire "Austin (clap, clap)...Lets Go Bret!" chants, leading to .
It was a time-changing piece in Austin's run and Bret's turn.
The undercard featured Undertaker-Mankind III, this time with Paul
Bearer in a cage and an Executioner (~!...?) run-in. The Rock debuted,
as Rocky Miavia, in a Survivor Series match eliminating Crush and
Goldust in route to winning the match for his team that also included
Marc Mero. Owen and The Bulldog were good in the opener with Furnas &
Lafon and the Godwinns.
Sunny came out looking good, Vince danced with her in the jovial-Vince
days so it was still funny. The commentary was also exceptional from
everyone involved.
