The clown/midget thing with Jerry The King Lawler was god awful. It languished on for too long, and the only reaction from the crowd was cheers that it was finally over. I don't know much about Bob Backlund so the fight with Bret Hart didn't mean much to me, but wrestling wise, it did not look that good (not Bret's fault). I was happy to see King Kong Bundy back and I like watching Bam Bam Bigelow wrestle. He moves around like a guy 1/4 of his size, which not many big guys can do (King Kong Bundy being one of the very few others). The rest of the matches were pretty good, including the main event of The Undertaker and Yokozuna in a casket match. I enjoyed Chuck Norris's kick but I wish he did a lot more.

As I've mentioned before, the _Survivor Series_ has never been my favorite WWF/WWE pay-per-view event and this one certainly did nothing to change my feelings.That awful fiasco involving Jerry Lawler and his four midget "tag team partners" vs Matt Bourne (Doink the Clown) and his midget tag team partners had to rate as a brand-new low in WWF/WWE 'entertainment'. Not only was the "match" a catastrophe and awful steaming pile but the attempts by Vince McMahon and Gorilla Monsoon to try to call the match as "serious" just made it that much worse. The entire thing - including Lawler's so-called "attack" by the 8 midgets after the match - was as nonsensical, infantile, and idiotic as anything the WWF has put out to date. If that weren't atrocious enough (it was MORE than enough, I promise you), the match between Bob Backlund and Bret Hart was good...except for the Bob Backlund part. I don't know what Backlund was like in his "prime" but here, he was just a ridiculous joke, overselling every single move, screaming like he was in mortal pain from a simple hip toss, etc. I actually felt sorry for Bret Hart having to deal with that nonsense; I still can't figure out why the WWF became so anti-Bret Hart as popular as he was with the fans, but this seemed to be nothing more than just another twisting of the WWF dagger in Bret's side, humiliating him in a match as poor as this one. Although the "Survivor" match between Ted Dibiase's "The Million Dollar Team" vs Lex Luger's "Guts 'n' Glory" was somewhat entertaining, it seemed to fizzle down into practically nothing once Mabel had been eliminated. The rest of the match was pretty much a foregone conclusion, and nothing really spectacular transpired; there was no "miracle comeback" (as, sadly, there would ALWAYS have been had it been Hulk Hogan instead of Lex Luger) but the match itself was just...well, like I said, once Mabel was eliminated, the rest of that particular "Survivor" match seemed to taper down to a ho-hum nothing. In the final "Main Event" match between The Undertaker vs Yokozuna, it all came down to Chuck Norris spin-kicking Jeff Jarrett. I mean, when they announce that Chuck Norris is going to be a "ringside enforcer", you know they didn't pay Norris to just stand there; he was going to do _something_ martial-artsy for the fans, and he did. Sadly, it was a huge build-up to a milisecond of nothing that didn't even get fully captured on camera. You saw something, the cameras whipped around for a different angle, then Jarret is lying on the runway while Chuck poses menancingly. So yeah...that's pretty much your "Survivor Series 1994"...not much better than anything else the WWF has put together for about the past 24-36 months when it comes to PPV cards. I keep watching, and keep hoping that the cards will eventually improve (as I'm sure they will). I still don't miss Hulk Hogan and his ego, but wow, I'm hoping WWF will come up with some quality stuff here pretty quickly. This is going from bad to not-quite-as-bad-but-still-bad. Definitely not worth watching more than once.
