[1987-11-26-WWF-Survivor Series '87] Brutus Beefcake & Jake Roberts & Jim Duggan & Randy Savage & Ricky Steamboat vs Danny Davis & Hercules & Harley Race & Ron Bass & Honky Tonk Man

[cactus]

Thankfully, Jim Duggan gets eliminated early. Sadly, he takes Harley Race with him when they both brawl too long on the outside and get themselves counted out. So, swings and roundabouts. Danny Davis continues to be one of my favorite unsung talent from the Hulkamania era, he's great as a sneaky little shit. The heels gain control during the middle, but the last few minutes the result never felt in question. The match ends with the three surviving babyfaces punishing Honkey before he decides to leave town and take the countout loss. While this finish lacks the drama of a sole face in peril, I can forgive this seeing as it's the first match of it's kind in the WWF. This also goes around 24 minutes, but it doesn't feel that long because of the quick eliminations and moments of brilliance sprinkled throughout.
