Survivor Series 1992 was the eighth Survivor Series event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 8th November 1992

## Background

The main match heading into the show is G1 Winner Ric Flair vs WWF Champion Hulk Hogan. Ric Flair debuted for WWF at Wrestlemania 8 and the thing everyone wanted to see was the big dream match between Hogan and Flair, but the brand split happened and Hulk Hogan was moved to RAW while Ric Flair was moved to Smackdown separating the 2 biggest guys of WWF and WCW. Ric Flair had a good run on Smackdown along with Four Horsemen winning the World Heaviweight Championship but eventually losing it at Summerslam, Hulk Hogan won the WWF Championship at In Your House 4 and Ric Flair defeated Bret Hart in the G1 Finals. Four Horsemen's manager and General Manager of Smackdown Bobby Heenan assumed that Flair was going to choose the smackdown world champion Tatanka to face but he shocked him as Flair chose Hogan as his challenger, he was going for the opposite brand's championship. Bobby Heenan has said that when Ric Flair wins the WWF Championship, he will take the title to Smackdown. During the buildup Four Horsemen have invaded RAW as well as Hogan invading Smackdown

Since Smackdown's Ric Flair is facing RAW's Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship, Bobby Heenan decided to give a RAW guy a chance at Tatanka's World Heaviweight Championship saying how he doesn't care if Tatanka loses and the world title goes to RAW, Bob Backlund won a fatal 4 way to face him tonight, Tatanka is a bit injured but he says that even injured he can defeat a 40 year old crazy man

Team RAW vs Team Smackdown was announced at G1 Finals with the winners getting the usual Survivor Series Briefcases but also the brand's winner gets to have In Your House 5 exclusive to them, the obvious choices were the main groups of each brand, Empire consisting of Randy Savage, Sycho Sid and Steiner Brothers for Team RAW and Four Horsemen consisting of Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger and Bret Hart for Team Smackdown. Since Ric Flair is gonna be in the WWF Championship match, Smackdown's General Manager and Four Horsemen's manager Bobby Heenan decided to take his spot in the match

At G1 Finals 1992, Koko B.Ware defeated Mr.Perfect to become NO1 Contender for the European Championship, in the same night European Champion Owen Hart defeated Bob Backlund in 40 seconds and urged him to retire but Backlund locked him in the crossface chicken wing, Koko came out to save Owen but got attacked by Razor Ramon. This has pretty much been a tag team feud as Ramon uses Backlund to get to European Championship contendership but tonight Koko B.Ware gets his title match against Owen

Demolition started a huge path of demolishing everything surrounding them which led to them being banned from RAW and causing havoc on Smackdown winning the tag team titles on the process, their path didn't stop there as they attacked Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels and demanded an handicap match for the Intercontinental Championship, Bobby Heenan refused but was threatened by Demolition and injured with a chair through his leg so he was forced to give them the match. At G1 Finals, Demolition defeated Shawn Michaels and became the first ever co-champions of a single championship. Bobby Heenan promised to find dirt on Demolition and he finally found it as he visited parts unknown and revealed that there is a third member of Demolition, Demolition Ax. Ax revealed that when WWF gave tryouts on parts unknown, Crush attacked Ax, stole his paint and pretended like he was a member of the Demolition family when he never was, Crush attacked Smash and Ax after this and a match was made between Crush and Smash to determine who the real IC Champion is

Doink The Clown debuted as a pennywise character, a really creepy clown. He took things too far as he was celebrating the birthday of a kid but the segment quickly went dark as he choked out the kid and killed him in the middle of the ring, he was indefinitely suspended. At In Your House 4 he returned during Ted Dibiase vs Barry Horowitz as a red balloon showed up and ended with Horowitz getting choked out in the ring. Barry Horowitz explains to his long time rival Ted Dibiase that Doink is dangerous and he needs everyone's help to stop him including Dibiase's group Million Dollar Corporation and Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler who got caught in the middle of this. Horowitz explains Doink's backstory: He was friends with normal him as a kid, he had a clown for his birthday party, the clown suddenly went haywire and bit his eye off, and he saw Horowitz watch it all happen and not doing anything. Doink has been tormenting Horowitz for the past 24 years, balloons popping, evil laughs surrounding him in the strangest times, he didn't realize who Doink was until he murdered that child because it was the exact same scenario that had happened 24 years ago. Horowitz knows Doink has to be defeated or he will take over Smackdown and potentially WWF and he's the only one who knows his weak spots and can stop him but he needs people's help, Million Dollar Corporation intially refuse but after their teammate Yokozuna is injured by Doink, they accept this challenge. Tonight it'll be a 6 on 1 handicap match as Doink has terrorized these 6 with mind games teleporting everywhere, red balloons popping close to them and full blown attacks

## Details

* The opening handicap match is full of effects and mind games such as: The lights flickering a lot, Doink teleporting everywhere, he first hits a chokeslam on IRS to eliminate him. Then he puts a balloon on top of Jarrett's head, pops it as blood comes out of it and chokes out Jarrett to eliminate him. After this, Ted Dibiase and Virgil run away. Since Barry Horowitz knows some of Doink's tricks, he manages to put him down with a missile dropkick, everyone start burying him with tables, chairs, kendo sticks, anything they can find but suddenly the lights go out, they go back up and everyone is laid down outside of the ring except Horowitz. Horowitz pushes all of the tables and chairs only to find a broken picture of him underneath all that, the lights flicker again and about 50 red balloons fly towards the sky, they all pop and Doink has teleported to the top rope with an evil smile, Doink jumps and chokes out Horowitz as the lights flicker. They go down and back up and all that's left in the ring is a red balloon with Horowitz's broken picture attached to it as it flies onto the sky
* Bobby Heenan is eliminated immediatly on purpose as he chairshots Randy Savage. Later on the match, Bret Hart is pinning Sycho Sid when Heenan takes out the ref and becomes the ref himself. This is just so he can turn on Four Horsemen attacking Bret with chairshots.
* Bobby Heenan aligns himself with Empire as they win the match
