Remember the last time Doink the Clown was in the series and nothing was funny? Well, imagine that match...TIMES FOUR! Yes, it's the infamous Survivor Series elimination match that pits the Four Doinks, Men on a Mission & The Bushwhackers painted up like Doink, taking on the team of Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers Fatu & Samu, and Bastion Booger. Yes...BASTION BOOGER! One of the most disgusting wrestlers of all time, his gimmick was purely that he was disgusting. Let's just get into this.
Luke & Booger start off the match with Booger hitting a horrible splash. Luke bites Booger's ass and Butch pokes him in the eye before Booger tags out to Samu. Samu works over Luke and starts biting the balloons the Doinks brought to ringside. He takes one from Mo and bites into it, but it turns out to be a water balloon. This...minor distraction is enough to allow Luke to school boy Samu and eliminate him. This is what the entire match is like.
Fatu runs in and Butch tries to headbutt him, but since Fatu is Samoan he's got a hard head and Butch hurts himself. The crowd starts chanting "USA" at Fatu. Like I said the last time the Bushwhackers showed up, it doesn't make any sense to chant "USA" in support of the Bushwhackers, who are from New Zealand. Stupid idiots...The heels continue to work over Butch before Booger hits the Trip to the Batcave, a jumping kneeling butt drop. That's what Wikipedia calls it, so that's what I'm calling it. Booger opts out of the cover to eat a banana. He goes for the move again, but Mabel pulls Butch out of the way. The Bushwhackers hit the Battering Ram and Mabel hits a leg drop. Despite Butch clearly being the legal man, Mabel makes the cover and eliminates Booger. This is ass.
Fatu offers Butch some turkey (which the Headshrinkers bring to ringside and eat because they're savages, you see!), but tricks him and hits him with it. That's a DQ. Fatu continues to beat Butch with turkey before Mo gets a scooter and rides it around in the ring. That was pointless, as Bigelow dropkicks Mo and tosses the scooter out of the ring. Fatu hits a top rope splash over Bigelow onto Mo (again, not the legal man) but doesn't cover him because he's distracted by a banana peel. Stupid idiot...Butch grabs a bucket and teases throwing water on Fatu, but the bucket was empty and he causes Fatu to slip on the banana peel. This allows Butch (who actually is the legal man, technically) to get the pin.
Bigelow gets in and runs through all the Doinks before Mabel gets in the ring. Bigelow tries to knock him down, but Mabel's too big and won't budge. Mabel ends up knocking Bigelow down and going for a corner splash. Bigelow dodges and knocks Mabel down with a shoulder tackle. He then hits a powerslam on Butch but gets distracted by Luke at ringside. This allows Men on a Mission to double splash him in the corner and Mabel hits a running splash. Despite not being the legal man...again, Mabel makes the cover and all the other Doinks hop on top of him to eliminate Bigelow and get the win. It's a clean sweep and this was f*cking terrible. After the match, the real Doink taunts Bigelow on the big screen as a final "F*ck you" to everyone watching.
The Verdict
This was awful in every sense of the word. There wasn't even a semblance of a match here. Every single elimination was a result of bad comedy, the face team never tagged in one time, and none of the wrestling was any good. And not to mention that the heel team played by the rules the majority of the time while the faces broke the rules, used foreign objects, and constantly interfered in the match. It was completely backwards and terrible in every way. This is going towards the bottom for sure.

LOL! These rants would be even amusing if you didn't sound so bitter. The match took place in 1993, pretty much the transition year between the golden/Rock'n Wrestling era and WWF's "New Generation" era. Everything was still family fare, and edgy stuff was rarely seen or heard. At this time, the Bushwhackers were still way over with the fans (I just finished watching that match again and the crowd reaction to them, as well as Oscar's raps, is priceless). Pairing them with Men On A mission was pure comedy genius, as opposed to the strictly all-business Bigelow and Headshrinkers. And many props to the great, late Mike Shaw, for carrying on with the horrific Bastion Booger gimmick.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that event was a product of the times, and it should be accepted as such. And you should get a sense of humor as well.
