good back-story, and good acting
... View MoreExcellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
... View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
... View MoreOne would think that a three-star rating for Survivor Series 1994 would be considered a disappointment. However, after how inconsistent of a product WWF had become by the end of 1994, it is actually almost a bit refreshing to see an event just be "okay" and not utterly plagued by issues.The tag matches here are exactly what you'd expect from SS. If you are into tag matches you'll love it. If not, the FF button will be utilized frequently.The two featured matches of the event are: -Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart: I should hate this dumb angle, but for some reason it works for me. I wish Vince McMahon would have concocted the angle a bit less over-the-top and instead played it more straight, but Backlund is still just odd enough to create some intrigue. -Casket Match: Yokozuna vs. The Undertaker. Yokozuna was pretty much played out by this point (those big boys not named Andre have such limited shelf lives), but Taker gives a great performance as per the usual.Overall, the '94 Survivor Series was an okay event. Not among the greats, but enough entertainment to keep you from being bored. At this point in WWF history, that is progress.

Doink w his 3 Dwarfs - I really don't like these "family entertainment" matches. Taunting dwarfs, very well. Comedy. 4/10 3. WWF Heavyweight Title Match Bob Backlund Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - Sick, sick match. How anyone could booked Backlund as WWF Champion. Sick to the bone! 4/10 4. Tatanka/Bam Bam Bigelow/King Kong Bundy Vs. Lex Luger/Mabel/Adam's Bomb/Smoking Guns - FInally one better match. Heel team won. 6/10 5. Yokozuna Vs. The Undertaker -Average show. 6/10

... View MoreThis Survivor Series event was very good after the mediocre events from 1992/93.For the first time since the 1988 event there were some matches pitting teams of 5 against each other. The Bad Guys captained by the ultra cool Razor Ramon battled The Teamsters captained by Jeff Jarrett. This was a superb match spoiled only by it's ending.Major enemies Lex Luger and Tatanka captained opposing teams in another entertaining brawl.Doink led 3 midget clowns against Jerry Lawler and 3 midget kings. This was a comedic match which I enjoyed very much and was probably enjoyed by anyone who was under 5 at the time.Bret Hart faced Bob Backlund in a match that lasted over 30 minutes. It was a technical match and very intense at times.In the main event The Undertaker fought Yokosuna in a Casket Match which was refereed by Chuck Norris. This was a reasonable match which brought an entertaining card to an end.
