Survivor Series (1992) was the sixth annual Survivor Series pay-per-view professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on November 25, 1992, at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield Township, Ohio. The buildup to the pay-per-view consisted of feuds scripted by the WWF's writers, and the matches that took place at the event had pre-determined outcomes that had been decided by the company. Unlike previous Survivor Series events, Survivor Series 1992 placed a strong emphasis on one-on-one wrestling matches rather than tag team elimination matches. In the main event, the team of Randy Savage and Mr. Perfect took on the team of Ric Flair and Razor Ramon. Savage and Perfect won the match when the referee disqualified Flair and Ramon. The event also featured a highly-promoted match where Bret Hart retained his WWF Championship in a match against Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker won a coffin match against Kamala. One specialty match also took place, as The Big Boss Man defeated Nailz in a nightstick on a pole match. Some of the matches were changed after they were first announced, as several wrestlers left the WWF shortly before the event. Critics have praised the WWF Championship match and the tag team match that was won by Savage and Perfect. Although the remaining matches have received low ratings, critics have felt that the two main events made the event worth watching. ==Background== In the storyline behind the match between The Big Boss Man and Nailz, Nailz claimed that while he was serving time in prison, the Big Boss Man, who was a guard at the prison, mistreated Nailz. In early 1992, Nailz appeared in introductory vignettes to talk about his hatred of the Big Boss Man. Upon his debut in the WWF, Nailz attacked Bossman and stole his nightstick, which he used to attack his opponents over the following months. Shortly after Tatanka's debut in the WWF, he became involved in a feud with Rick Martel. They faced each other at WrestleMania VIII, and Tatanka defeated Martel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/history/wm8/results/ )〕 The following month, Martel gained revenge by attacking Tatanka with an atomizer of cologne and stealing the eagle feathers that Tatanka carried to symbolize his Lumbee heritage. Ric Flair and his "executive consultant" Mr. Perfect had been allies in the WWF for much of 1992. After Flair lost the WWF Championship to Randy Savage at WrestleMania VIII,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 Flair and Perfect initiated a feud with Savage. They interfered in Savage's match at SummerSlam and caused him to lose by countout.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 The rivalry continued, and Flair received assistance from Perfect and Razor Ramon to win the title back from Savage on September 1, which aired on the September 14 edition of WWF Prime Time Wrestling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 The WWF planned for Savage to team with the Ultimate Warrior in a match against Flair and Ramon at Survivor Series. The Ultimate Warrior left the WWF, however, before the match could take place. Two possible reasons have been given for his departure. The first states that he was fired due to allegations of steroid abuse,〔''The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior''.〕 while the other states that he was upset with the WWF's future plans for his character. The WWF was forced to change the plan and decided to turn Perfect into a babyface (fan favorite) from a heel. Perfect and Flair began having conflicts while teaming together, and Perfect accepted Savage's offer on the November 16 episode of ''WWF Prime Time Wrestling'' to team with him at Survivor Series. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) had been feuding with The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) since February 1992 when manager Jimmy Hart turned on Earthquake and Typhoon in favor of helping Money, Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/worldtagteam/304454132113111 )〕 With Hart's assistance, Money, Inc. defeated the Legion of Doom for the WWF Tag Team Championship on February 7, 1992.〔 Five months later, Earthquake and Typhoon defeated Money Inc. to win the championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 The Natural Disasters were also feuding with The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake) and defeated them in a title match at SummerSlam 1992.〔 A match was then announced for Survivor Series in which The Natural Disasters would team with The Bushwhackers (Luke and Butch) to face Money, Inc. and the Beverly Brothers. However, when The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags), also managed by Hart, were scheduled to face The Natural Disasters for the title on October 13, Hart replaced The Nasty Boys at the last minute with Money, Inc., who went on to regain the championship with help from The Headshrinkers.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 This led to a break-up between Hart and the Nasty Boys, who received the Bushwhackers' spot in the Survivor Series match to get revenge against Jimmy Hart and Money, Inc. At SummerSlam 1992 in August, The Undertaker defeated Kamala.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=WWE )〕 Harvey Wippleman, Kamala's manager wanted revenge, so a rematch was scheduled for Survivor Series. The match was promoted as the WWF's first coffin match, in which the winner would place the loser in a coffin after the match. The WWF also planned a match featuring The British Bulldog defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The Mountie at Survivor Series. The WWF released Smith due to steroid allegations, however,〔 and he was made to drop the title belt to Shawn Michaels on the November 14 episode of ''Saturday Night's Main Event''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment )〕 Jake Roberts was set to challenge Bret Hart,〔(Bret Hart talks Roddy Piper & Shawn Michaels ). ''Aftermath''. The Score Television Network. June 11, 2012. Retrieved July 19, 2012.〕 who had won the WWF Championship on October 12, for his title, but the promotion could not come to terms with Roberts. Ultimately, the WWF neglected to include an Intercontinental Championship match on the card, instead pitting Michaels against Hart. In this match, Hart's title was defended while Michaels' title was not. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Survivor Series (1992)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
