10 Truly Shocking WWE Survivor Series Eliminations
10 truly shocking eliminations from WWE Survivor Series
9. Mr Fuji Turns On Demolition - 1988
Early Survivor Series events may be slightly cluttered and confusing to watch, but they have a certain substance that modern versions lack. With only a few pay-per-views a year, classic Survivor Series matches were all about the storytelling, a perfect example occurring at the second-ever event in 1988.
Towards the end of a mammoth 20-man elimination tag, Smash of Demolition hit the ropes, only for his manager, Mr. Fuji, to pull them apart and send him tumbling to the outside. Smash was counted out, Demolition were eliminated, and the pair turned face by slamming Fuji to huge cheers.
The Powers of Pain completed the double turn by picking up Fuji, dusting him down, and taking him to stand in their corner - which is possibly the most adorable heel turn in wrestling history. Thankfully, Demolition got their revenge at WrestleMania 5, beating the Powers and Fuji in a handicap match to retain their tag team titles.
