The 1994 Survivor Series was the eighth annual Survivor Series professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on Wednesday, November 23, 1994, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, and the final edition of Survivor Series to be held on either Thanksgiving Day or Thanksgiving Eve, as all previous Survivor Series events had.
Two main event matches were held; in the first, Bret Hart defended the WWF Championship against Bob Backlund in a special submission match where the only way for a wrestler to win was to have the opponent’s second throw a towel into the ring; Owen Hart, Bret's brother and Backlund's second, tricked his mother Helen Hart into throwing in the towel for Bret, which won the match and the championship for Backlund. In the other main event, The Undertaker defeated Yokozuna in a casket match with Chuck Norris as the special guest ring enforcer.
The event also featured three elimination matches and two singles matches. Razor Ramon led The Bad Guys against Diesel's team of The Teamsters. Ramon won the match for his team after all members of the other team were counted out. Doink the Clown teamed with three midgets to form Clowns Are Us in a match against The Royal Family, composed of Jerry Lawler and three midgets. The Royal Family won the match, but all seven other competitors attacked Lawler after the match. Lex Luger led Guts and Glory against the Million Dollar Corporation team, which was managed by Ted DiBiase. DiBiase's team won after Luger, the last wrestler from his team, was pinned.
Shawn Michaels and Diesel, the WWF Tag Team Champions going into the event, began feuding after Michaels accidentally kicked Diesel during the match. They vacated their title and began a feud that led to a match at WrestleMania XI. Three days later after Survivor Series, Diesel won the WWF Championship by defeating Backlund. The rivalry between Backlund and Bret Hart continued, until they faced each other at WrestleMania XI.
