The main events were good but an entire card full of them was too much. Two on a modern PPV would be good.
I always enjoyed all of those matches, and I think there's a simple reason why. I started watching wrestling around the time of SummerSlam 1990, and a lot of the way I got into wrestling in general was by renting tapes of past PPVs. Survivor Series events were way full of guys I had never seen before, and since I didn't really know the relative statuses of who was at the bottom or middle of the card, there wasn't a lot of difference for me between the Red Rooster, Blue Blazer, Brooklyn Brawler, Ron Bass, Bad News Brown, Danny Davis, etc etc. There were basically just the Main Eventers (Hogan, Andre, Warrior,) and a bunch of other guys. So watching a bunch of Survivor Series matches was just seeing a lot of wrestlers for me, which was pretty damn cool. Even the Conquistadors weren't any different to me than the Rockers or the Rougeaus.
