5. Team Strike Force vs. Team Hart Foundation – 1987
The original Survivor Series introduced probably my favorite variation on the elimination tag match, the “Tag Team Elimination Tag Match,” where new Tag Champs Strike Force captained a team of The British Bulldogs, The Killer Bees, The Rougeau Brothers, and The Young Stallions against The Hart Foundation, Demolition, The Islanders, Greg Valentine & Dino Bravo, and The Bolsheviks.
The action here was incredibly fast and furious, and this epic match went 37 glorious minutes before underdog teams The Killer Bees and Young Stallions prevailed. This was a truly incredible display of tag team wrestling, and illustrated how deep and special the tag team division was in the 80s.
