The DARK SIDE of the 1987 Survivor Series

How Vince KILLED his biggest rival before a single bell rang. On November 26, 1987, the WWF's Survivor Series drew record numbers — but the real story isn't what happened in the ring. It's what Vince McMahon did to make sure you were watching this card instead of the NWA's Starrcade '87, airing the exact same night. This is the story of a business assassination disguised as a wrestling supercard: a cable blacklist threat that strangled a rival's PPV debut, a dying André the Giant used for one final run at the top, a young Bam Bam Bigelow fed to a legend, a real off-camera arrest laundered into a patriotic hero's welcome, and a division-best performance from the Jumping Bomb Angels buried by design on an undercard nobody was watching for them. By the time the final bell rang, the WWF hadn't just won a wrestling card — it had permanently shifted the power center of an entire industry to Connecticut. ⚠️ This video explores the business, injuries, and real-life struggles behind the spectacle — not just the matches. #WWF #SurvivorSeries #AndretheGiant #HulkHogan #WrestlingHistory #DarkSideOfWrestling #90sWrestling #ProfessionalWrestling #WrestlingDocumentary #WWE
