10 Overlooked WWE Survivor Series Classics
Remember when matches used to have stakes? Man, what a time...
7. Ric Flair Vs. Triple H (2005)
After three years by each other's side, the relationship between Triple H and Ric Flair turned sour in the fall of 2005 as The Game turned on the Nature Boy, leading to a bloody, violent feud.
Their intense rivalry yielded a superior, old-school style cage match at Taboo Tuesday, but their best match together was probably their Last Man Standing blowoff the following month at Survivor Series.
In modern-day, post-PG WWE it can be easy to forget that Last Man Standing matches were often brutal wars of attrition that practically guaranteed blood and this is one of the best examples of the genre.
They beat the hell out of each other and really suffered for the cause. The story of the match was Flair doing everything he could to keep up with his younger and stronger opponents, with his low blows and chair shots perfectly legal within the environment.
There was brawling and big bumps and plenty of hate, before the Cerebral Assassin nailed a series of Pedigrees and finally (symbolically) put a bullet in 'Old Yeller' with a sledgehammer shot to the back.
