Match observations:
Survivor Series was a hard card to describe. The first two matches didn't live
up to expectations with little memorable taking place, but the final three were
so off-the-charts, no praise could do them justice.
The two sole highlights of the first two matches were the mystery partners.
Since Scott Steiner had to leave the WWF after dropping the fall in the Loser-
of-the-Fall-Leaves-WWF Match two weeks ago, someone had to take his place. You
should have heard the crowd pop when none other than Roddy Piper, manager of
the Steiners, decided to don the tights one more time. Owen Hart's team promised
their opponents their mystery partner is a man who defeated three out of the
four opponents before, and did he deliver on his promise. He presented none
other than... Jyushin Lyger, or Jushin Liger as he's spelled in the US.
Then came the first big one in which Hollywood Hogan and The Giant single-
handedly eliminated the whole opposing team, which included federation
superstars Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson, Razor Ramon and Davey Boy Smith -
hardly slouches in their own right. While Hogan finally got his royal behind
handed to him courtesy of Ahmed Johnson, nobody was able to beat the Giant, who
seems to be growing of age after a mediocre 2012.
Just when it seems like Steve Austin has his work cut out, he pulls a quick
victory out of his sleeve. Bret Hart gave Austin everything he could handle and
then some, but in the end the current WWF champ got his hand raised. The Stone
Cold Stunner spelled the difference... again.
