WWE Survivor Series: Ranking the 10 Greatest Matches
By Dean Siemon
7) The Undertaker’s debut in the Million Dollar Team (1990)
In a traditional four-vs-four Survivor Series elimination tag team match, the fans were introduced to Ted DiBiase’s secret weapon to join him, Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine for the Dream Team of Dusty Rhodes, Koko B. Ware, Jim Neidhart and Bret Hart. The Undertaker looked like a very scary monster who stood near the seven-foot mark and was an easy 300-plus pounds and moved around with speed and strength.
No one was able to take the new Phenom of WWE off of his feet as he was 100 percent dominant and barely showed any effects from the attacks of the others in the ring, which was a collection of future WWE Hall of Famers. Undertaker would deliver his first of thousands of Tombstone Piledrivers to get the first pinfall that eliminated Koko B. Ware.
Moments later, Undertaker would then eliminate Rhodes after delivering the American Dream with a double axe handle off of the top rope. It looked as if the Undertaker was going to be the lone reason why DiBiase would win this match, at least until he found himself counted out of the ring as he continued to attack Rhodes.
The eventual survivor was DiBiase after he defeated Bret Hart, but this would become the very first footnote in the career of the Deadman who would go on to win seven different world championships and held the longest winning streak in WrestleMania history for a career that will be celebrating its 25th year in WWE this Sunday.
