10 Most Shocking WWE Survivor Series Moments
Yes, 1997 is in here...
5. The Death Of Hulkamania? - 1991
The Undertaker's debut at the 1990 Survivor Series is one of the best moments in the history of the event.
The Deadman took WWE by storm in his first year in the company, and by the '91 Survivor Series he was booked in a WWE Title match opposite Hulk Hogan.
The zombie mortician was a formidable opponent, sure, but this was Hulk Hogan we're talking about here. The golden goose. The licence to print money. The man of the millennium, etc...
The match was hot garbage, moving at a glacial pace and featuring plenty of shenanigans, with Hogan no-selling a Tombstone, Paul Bearer breaking up the Leg Drop and Ric Flair sauntering out to play difference-maker.
The Nature Boy slid a chair into the ring and, when 'Taker dropped Hogan with a Tombstone on it, he won his first WWE Title.
For about a week, anyway, before dropping it back to the Hulkster at the This Tuesday in Texas pay-per-view.
The funniest thing about the title change, of course, is Terrible Terry claiming that Mean Mark injured him with the winning move, despite the evidence suggesting that Hogan's head was a good half mile away from the canvas.
