10 Best WWE Matches of the Year 2003

#5 Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff - Survivor Series

Best Elimination match ever!

This is in my opinion, hands down, the best Elimination match in Survivor Series history and perhaps even the best match in all of Survivor Series.

It was a team chosen by Stone Cold Steve Austin vs a team chosen by his co-RAW General Manager, Eric Bischoff. If Austin's team won, he could beat up anyone he wanted, whenever he wanted. If Eric's team won, Austin was finished as RAW GM. Austin's team was comprised of Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Rob Van Dam and the Dudley Boyz, while Bischoff had Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Christian, Mark Henry and Scott Steiner.

This match was very exciting, especially during the last 15 minutes or so. Shawn Michaels gave one of his very best performances here, and the drama was just so intense. Scott Steiner was the first eliminated, pinned by Booker T following a reverse 3D and Bookend. The Book was eliminated by Mark Henry just seconds later. Henry was out a few minutes later after a 3D and Frogspalsh from RVD.

Orton pinned RVD after an RKO next. The both Dudley's were eliminated by Jericho and Christian, leaving ol' HBK in a 3 on 1 situation. Shawn eliminated Christian and Jericho just a couple minutes apart after getting the better of them, but was then left bloody by Jericho and a chair.

Shawn is covered in so much blood, he looked like he just walked out of the first Hell in A Cell match. He and Orton battle it out for a few minutes before Bischoff attacks Shawn. Austin then takes out Eric and hit Orton with a Stunner. As Austin beats Eric, Batista emerges from the crowd and Powerbombs HBK, leading to Orton getting the three count and win for his team.
