I am on a huge 80's kick after having the pleasure of speaking with Rick Martel for (shameless promotion) Where Are They Now?, and I have to say, Martel is one of the classiest people I have ever met - in and out of wrestling.

But after my convo, I couldn't resist delving into my collection of 80's music and movies, and the classic Survivor Series VHS was brought out. Yeah, I said it, the VHS.

When my parents finally caved and let us order that first SS, I was hooked. I had always loved Hulk Hogan, but the SS just brought a new level of drama - something that made us all sit on the edge of our seats. But look at the main even from the 1987 Survivor Series:

You had then-WWE Champion Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mr. Wonderful, Ken Patera & Don Muraco taking on Andre the Giant, One Man Gang, Rick Rude, Butch Reed & King Kong Bundy.

Andre's team took the win, but the standard was set. I am so happy that at this year's SS, there are three Traditional Elimination Matches. Because that is what Survivor Series should be about. The concept then was fun, new, hip and it worked. I think fans look back and hope that SS could still be that way, and with three matches on the card that resemble those of the past, it could be a really good show.

I wish the whole card was set as if it was 1987. I know that championships have to be decided, and blah blah blah, but I would rather see a true Survivor Series. I know it's wishful thinking, but am I alone in this thought? NO.

Let me know how you feel about this!
