Top 10 Survivor Series Team Nicknames

Survivor Series is a late November tradition

#5 The Mercenaries (Sgt. Slaughter, Boris Zhukov & The Orient Express) - 1990

They didn't even look intimidating

Damn! Now this is what you call offensive! Foreign Fanatics is nothing compared to calling a Russian, two Japanese guys and a turncoat American “Mercenaries”.

They teamed up against The Alliance, a team that actually consisted of one fewer American than The Mercenaries. The team was Russian Nikolai Volkoff, Mexican Tito Santana and the New Zealand natives, The Bushwhackers. It makes sense, though.

They are an alliance of multiple nations to take on the evil group of stereotypical WWE baddies and Sergeant Slaughter. The name isn’t nearly as cool. Mercenaries sound like they are going to visit every house in the city and destroy and pillage everything in sight.
