I watched the main event of Survivor Series 1987 for the first time in decades this AM. The match definitely suffers from SSeries-itis where guys who usually need to be hit with a tank to go down are being pinned fast and furious via clotheslines and such.
Hogan and Andre tease a confrontation, but Hogan had high fived his team mates and thus was forced to leave the ring. Hogan protests on and on and on instead of just tagging back in. Andre then sees Hogan isn't going to be in the ring, so he just tags off. It really didn't work as a spot if you put any thought into it.
The big Hogan/Andre clash sees Hogan mostly no sell Andre's stuff, and of course leads to Hogan fighting the other fatties on the floor and being counted out. Hogan complains again, and Finkel has to do a special announcement stating Hogan must leave or his team will forfeit the win. The fans seem legit flattened that the big show down only went a minute or 2.
Andre ultimately wins the match, and Hogan charges in and assaults Andre, then poses. The fans seem more muted for this than one would think.
This was all a fine example of Hogan's heelish habits while ostensibly being the top face.
