On November 26th, 1987, the WWF presented Survivor Series 1987. Howard Finkel announced the event with Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura and Gorilla Monsson as both approached the announce table.
This was the inaugural Thanksgiving Day event from the Richfield Coliseum. This ushered in a team warfare squadron of faction versus faction.
They had individual five on five teams facing each other along with an eight-team tag team match. Monsson and Ventura went through the rules, which included pinfall, submission, count-out, disqualification, and the referee’s elimination due to injury.
We witness The Honky Tonk Man’s Team being interviewed backstage before the event. It was a rowdy crew as Honky Tonk Man addressed their plans.
Once they made their way to the ring, the Macho Man’s crew addressed what would take place as well. They then proceeded to the ring as the WWF presented the 1987 Survivor Series.
