WWE Survivor Series is an iconic WWE PPV/PLE with nearly four decades of history. Over the years, this special event has given us several glorious traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team matches and classic championship matches.

However, there have also been other truly awful and embarrassing matches that WWE wants you to forget about. In this article, we’ll be taking a look back at some of those ridiculous bouts that somehow made it to a Survivor Series card.
The Royal Family Vs. Clowns Are Us (1994)
Hot take: the New Generation Era isn’t as bad as you may think. The main eventers, notably Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, produced several classics against several different opponents. Names like Razor Ramon or Owen Hart kept the Intercontinental Championship relevant during those times. The 1-2-3 Kid made sure fans had an underdog to root for.
But then there was childish stuff like this Survivor Series elimination match that no one can defend. Jerry Lawler teamed with three little people (Cheesy, Queasy, and Sleazy…) to face Doink the Clown and three little people (Dink, Pink, and Wink…) in a bout that somehow lasted 16 looooong minutes from bell to bell.
Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs. Triple H (2000)

While The Royal Family vs. Clowns Are Us made this list because of how ridiculous it was, this match is here for entirely different reasons. Stone Cold was written off TV at Survivor Series 1999 when he was run down by a car in the parking lot. When fans found out Rikishi did it (for The Rock!), they didn’t buy it. Thus, Triple H was added to the story as it was revealed that Rikishi ran over Stone Cold under The Game’s orders.
The two met in a No DQ Match in the main event of Survivor Series 2000, one year after the accident that sidelined The Texas Rattlesnake. The match was ruled a no-contest when Austin trapped Triple H inside a car, picked it up with a forklift… and dropped it! That’s right, Austin and Triple H literally tried to kill each other several times on TV. Needless to say, WWE doesn’t want its fans to rewatch the main event of Survivor Series 2000 anytime soon!
