In terms of the overall event, the 1991 Survivor Series is middling at best. The tag matches the event features are hit-or-miss, and the WWF is still figuring out what the future may hold. Plus, this event seems like more of a push towards the "This Tuesday In Texas" event coming up soon after this one. Time after time, that event was referenced and promoted, making this one seem like a place-holder.What makes this a rather iconic event, though, was the momentous decision to (spoiler alert!) have Hulk Hogan drop the WWF title to Undertaker. Besides the obvious "odd feel" of this move (happening so suddenly), it was actually a big step forward for the WWF to take. In finally pushing a new, popular character (which Undertaker indeed was at the time), they finally showed the capability to react to change.Overall, Survivor Series '91 was about as up-and-down of an event as you can find. A lot of average performances surrounding the huge Hogan/Taker match.

Well, thank goodness we're finished with that Iraq nonsense that'd been going on all year long. The big story coming int this was that NWA legend Ric Flair had just come to the WWE, and he'd bought the WCW Title with him, claiming to be the real World Champion. In the meantime, The Ultimate Warrior had left and Sgt Slaughter had rediscovered his patriotic streak, shedding himself of Iraqi sympathizer Col Mustafa. Hogan, in the meantime, had moved on to a huge WWE Title match with the undefeated Undertaker.This was not a great PPV, but had some moments, including the Undertaker's World Title victory and Ric Flair's PPV debut for the WWE.The night started with Ric Flair teaming up with Ted DiBiase, The Mountie and The Warlord to defeat Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Virgil and The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith. This one took forever before the first elimination, Smith, who was pinned by Flair after an axe handle. Things were squared up a while later as Hart interfered, costing the Warlord a pin at the hands of Roddy Piper. Things would end rather suddenly though with everyone except Ric Flair being counted out after a brawl erupted. Your winner and sole survivor Ric Flair.Next up saw Team Slaughter: Sgt Slaughter, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Texas Tornado and Tito Santana pick up a shut out victory over Col Mustafa, The Bezerker, Skinner and Hercules. Consider yourself emancipated from your unpatriotic friends Slaughter.Next up came the big match of the night as The undefeated Undertaker, capitalising on interference from his manager Paul Bearer, Ric Flair and Bobby Heenan pinned Hulk Hogan to win the title. This was not a great spectacle as a match, but it did the job. Taker winning to stunned silence. This match set up a rematch 9 days later at the Tuesday in Texas PPV.This was followed by The Nasty Boys: BRian Knobbs and Jerry Sags and the Beverley Brothers Blake and Beau defeating The Rockers: Shawn Micheals and Marty Janetty and THe Bushwakers Butch and Luke. Bea Beverly was the only casualty in a decisive victory.Last match of the night saw The Legion of Doom: Hawk and Animal and the Big Bossman defeat The Natural Disasters: Earthquake and Typhoon and Irwin R Shyster. This was the first three on three match in Survivor Series history. Bossman was eliminated earlier, but the Legion took care of all three on their own, pinning IRS after a flying clothesline.Well, not much to really say here. The Undertaker title win was meaningless as he lost it back to Hogan at Tuesday in Texas. Hogan and Flair never happened (in the WWE) on PPV so there was no build there either. So all we really did was close out the Slaughter/ Mustafa rivalry and kickstart a later rivalry, based around the Intercontinental Championship with Piper, The Mountie and Hart.

Survivor Series 1991 was a phenomenal event with fantastic matches on the card.Roddy Piper captained a team against Ric Flair and his cronies in an entertaining and at times wild brawl.The patriotic Hacksaw Jim Duggan captained a team against the Iranian Colonel Mustafa in another wild brawl.The high flying Rockers teamed up with the crazy Bushwhackers to battle the disgusting Nasty Boys and the posh Beverly Brothers in an entertaining match.There was a brilliant six-man tag match in which the Big Boss Man and the Legion of Doom battled I.R.S. and the huge Natural Disasters.(SPOILER AHEAD) In the main event Hulk Hogan defended his title against the unstoppable Undertaker. The Undertaker dented Hogan and took his belt in a good match.Five matches all of which were great-what more could one ask for?
