20 WWE matches that should be rated 5 stars (10-1)

#7 Team WWF vs. The Alliance (Winner Take All match, Survivor Series 2001)

The end of the 'invasion'

Although the 2001 invasion angle is usually panned by critics who wanted a dream match involving the top WCW talent of the Monday Night Wars (most of whom couldn't be acquired by WWE because they were signed directly to parent company Time Warner Media under expensive contracts), the tag team match that ended the angle was nonetheless a fantastic outing.

With traditional Survivor Series elimination rules in place, the Vince McMahon loyalists of Team WWF took on the combined efforts of WCW and ECW, known as The Alliance. Ten of the top stars of the late 90s and early 2000s went at it in one match, mixing exciting technical, high-flying and brawling action over nearly 45 minutes, making it one of the craziest and most compelling matches of the time period.

With 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock as the final competitors, the two stars called back to their Wrestle Mania X-7 match from months earlier where they surprisingly used each others finishers, and The Rock finally managed to pin Austin for the first time live on pay-per-view.
