Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE Survivor Series 23/11/1989 Match 1 Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Chosen by: You, kind of. I sent out this tweet/poll;  What brand/promotion pay-per-view am I going to review next? After the 1 I am working on which is WCW; You decide? With WCW receiving 0%, both NXT and WWE receiving 25% each, so our winner with 50% is the WWF and because we are getting closer to Thanksgiving on Thursday 24/11/2022, I had this pay-per-view in mind as it is right up my street I really like tag team wrestling, on the one hand this reminds me of how far the WWE have allowed tag team wrestling in general to fall from grace and on the other hand it reminds me why I like AEW so much.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Giving thanks messages: from the wrestlers and on-screen characters

* Vince McMahon: does voice-over, of this outlay of the matches and their participants like vaguely similar or basically similar like a sports team with their team names.

* Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse "The Pilgrim"/"The Body" Ventura: Commentary welcome us to this pay-per-view; they have a brief discussion about the return of The Pilgrim from last year's Survivor Series as Ventura is wearing the had from last year, but unlike last year he wants to be called his character name of "The Body." Ventura With a this back and forth of very little quality of heel work from Ventura[he comes across as an old villain with the standard laugh;] Monsoon treats this as a parent that doesn't think their child is funny but amuses them Ventura [a little angrily; because he didn't get the reaction he wanted, but I don't know what he expected from this if I was to be honest,Even in kayfabe this section and a little bit on commentary just falls flat on its face] Ventura sends it down to The Finkel or better known as Howard " The Finkel" Finkel our Ring announcer.

* The Finkel: Ring announcer introduces our first match of the evening.

Warning/Disclaimer: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/blood warning. Disclaimer; I have never been a professional wrestler or likely to be.

Comments: this is a solid good opening to this pay-per-view. Now if you get confused about what Gorilla Monsoon says about Tino Santana turning his back The Honky Tonk Man, I have no idea and including the subtitles have no idea either with this word indistinct [basically mean unclear,] but if I had to speculate I hear something like Paul Hardy but on some research Santana's real name is Merced Solis,  Tonk Man's name is Roy Wayne Farris and I am even looked up the list of The Referee's name's for this pay-per-view and there is no match of that name.

"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes Irish whips The Big Boss Man into the top far corner and this part of the ring doesn't sound safe, there is a clear and obvious sound of something that doesn't sound safe, even the opposite corner sounds a bit off, but no way is as bad as the far corner; it gets mentioned on commentary by Monsoon and this is not the only time this corner makes it sound and gets mentioned on commentary; basically someone may want to go and check that this corner is okay at the very least.

Boss Man tags out to Tonk Man, but you can clearly see Boss Man breaking kayfabe smiling, having a little word with  Bad News Brown [ you'll know when you have come to the right spot, because they quickly change from seeing these two on screen to switching to another camera which conveniently tries to cover this up] they are standing side-by-side on the apron. But in kayfabe Brown is a lone wolf gimmick/individual doesn't want to be tag into this match and they have this spot of accidental hit later on.

The Red Rooster and Tonk Man has this collision; Red Rooster comes running off the ropes and they just collide. Rhodes hits "The Model" Rick Martel with a standing dropkick this looks excellent, then we have Martel being pinned by Rhodes, but we have Monsoon accusing Rhodes of pulling Martel up and consequently out of the pin which the commentary table in a nutshell put across how stupid this is. This however is not the case as Martel actually kicks out, so there is no problem here whatsoever.

Briefly the crowd are here for this match as they back up this match as my attribute mark would suggest.

Basic Result: The Enforcers; Captain: The Big Boss Man [with "The Doctor of Style" Slick,] Bad News Brown, "The Model" Rick Martel & The Honky Tonk Man [with "The Mouth of The South"/"Colonel" Jimmy Hart] pick up the Win here.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Sean Mooney: Interviewer talked to some of the losers after this match behind the curtain with video replays over what happened at points in the closing stages of this match slot.

"Mean" Gene Okerund: Interviews The 4x4s Captain: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Brett " The Hitman" Hart, Ron "Rugged" Garvin & Hercules [yes they all have 2 x 4's as it relates to what size apparently and Duggan's wrestling gimmick] about their upcoming match which is coming up immediately next/now.

* The Finkel: Ring announcer introduces the next match.
