*How Vince KILLED his biggest rival before a single bell rang.* On November 26, 1987, the WWF's Survivor Series drew record numbers — but the real story isn't what happened in the ring. It's what Vince McMahon did to make sure you were watching *this* card instead of the NWA's Starrcade '87, airing the exact same night. This is the story of a business assassination disguised as a wrestling supercard: a cable blacklist threat that strangled a rival's PPV debut, a dying André the Giant used for one final run at the top, a young Bam Bam Bigelow fed to a legend, a real off-camera arrest laundered into a patriotic hero's welcome, and a division-best performance from the Jumping Bomb Angels buried by design on an undercard nobody was watching for them. By the time the final bell rang, the WWF hadn't just won a wrestling card — it had permanently shifted the power center of an entire industry to Connecticut. ⚠️ This video explores the business, injuries, and real-life struggles behind the spectacle — not just the matches. #WWF #SurvivorSeries #AndretheGiant #HulkHogan #WrestlingHistory #DarkSideOfWrestling #90sWrestling #ProfessionalWrestling #WrestlingDocumentary #WWE
