Razor Ramon, Marty Jannetty, 1-2-3 Kid and Randy Savage versus IRS, Rick Martel, Diesel and Adam Bomb - Survivor Series

On the Raw leading up the Survivor Series, Ross and Monsoon were talking about how Perfect was going to step aside for Savage to take his place. Does not make sense since Crush was not involved in same match. More of a cover for Perfect not being involved but still surprised me as I thought it was surprise inclusion by Savage in match. Razor gets a big pop for his entrance. Ramon buries Perfect on the mic by saying he tagged out before the match even started. Razor has a backup though as we get Randy Savage! Crowd loves that.

Good back and forth between Razor and Martel to start the match. I would have much preferred Martel getting IRS spot as challenger to Ramon at Royal Rumble. Bomb sucks and even with his radioactive contact lenses he still comes off generic in the ring. We get some heel miscommunication where Martel clocks Harvey Wippleman. Type of thing that would turn you face. Bomb against Kid is better as he gets to throw around Waltman for a few. Diesel one ups Bomb with a huge biel throw and gutwrench suplex. We are not in Dieselmania yet though as Savage tags in and puts away Diesel very easily.

Heels start using very quick tags and keeping Razor in their corner. Savage dominating IRS but Crush wanders out to distract Savage. Macho Man ends up getting pinned and chase after Crush. Martel and IRS could have worked as a tag team. Razor's Edge for IRS which does make you wonder why they continued that program through the Rumble. IRS hits Razor with a briefcase and Ramon gets counted out. Well there you go. Stealing the gold around Razor's neck will help too.

Down to a two and two tag match. Kid does a dive through the ropes but Bomb catches him and then connects with a bodyslam on the floor. Love the finish with Kid getting a sunset flip pin on Martel and making a quick tag to Marty. Jannetty then gets his own sunset flip on Bomb for the win. Fun elimination tag team opener. Savage/Crush feud gets continued. The set up the Ramon/IRS match up for the IC title. Then Kid/Jannetty are established as a tag team. Martel clearly had more legs as far as being used in WWF.
