In a year filled with in your house in between every normal PPV . This survivor series feels thrown together with who was available. In maybe the WWF weakest year. With diesel headlining the year with Shawn Michaels Razor Ramon Bret Hart undertaker felt like the wrong choice to lead the company due to his size which Vince's likes. Watching makes you think was it the quality of WCW that was making people turn the channel or just the lack of quality being produced by the WWF.

Despite being quite thin talent-wise, the WWE manages to structure at least a decently-paced card for the 1995 Survivor Series.

Of the three survivor tag matches, two are duds and two are pretty good. I think this is because the WWE chose to consolidate all the good talents in those latter two matches and sort of punt on the first two.

Bam Bam Bigelow and the new Goldust put on a pretty good show of a match. Bam Bam is always surprisingly adept in the ring, and Goldust's oddness at least represents the WWE taking a chance on a different caricature.

The Bret Hart vs. Diesel finale is pretty good as well. Probably the worst of the three major matches between those two, but Diesel had such major heat behind him (as did Hart, as usual) that it still "works". One wonders if the Diesel character (never billed as a good guy but usually cheered) planted the seed in Vince McMahon's mind for Steve Austin (coming soon).

In terms of the announcing, it was very nice to hear Jim Ross in the booth with McMahon and Curt Hennig. McMahon's over-the-top schtick really started to rub me the wrong way starting with this event, so I'm hoping there is more Ross to come in future events.

Overall, there isn't enough talent here to make this even an average event. That being said, at least the pacing of the matches and their positioning was better than the 2-3 previous PPVs. Progress, I guess.

One of the best ppv of the year Pits diesel vs. bret Hart for the wwf title great match should have ended better though instead of a small package by bret hart but all around good main event. Another great match was the survivor match sike that was the worst wrestling i ever seen this ppv should have been a lot better then it was hyped up to be. Sycho sid is one of the worst wrestlers in wwf history he is to stiff and nonathletic. diesel will always be the second best big man behind the undertaker. the only thing that saved this ppv was the main event if that main event did not happened this ppv would be no more it would not survive. But overall i give it a 3 out of 10 lucky it got the 3 though awful ppv.

This was a rather average Survivor Series card; none of the matches really stood out and there was nothing, at least in my opinion, that could be remembered for years to come.

It seemed to me that the WWF probably booked this event in a rush. Usually, the Survivor Series consisted of sworn enemies facing each other in teams of four. Most of the elimination matches were sub standard.

There was one match of interest-the wild card match in which friends teamed up with foes. Good guys Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson teamed up with bad guys Psycho Sid and the late Davey Boy Smith to face good guy Razor Ramon and bad guys the late Owen Hart, Yokosuna and Dean Douglas. This made for an intriguing match and was the only real good thing about this card.
