My favorite event growing up was the Survivor Series. I loved seeing the Surivvor Series reports with Gene Okerlund and finding out who would be teaming with who, or hearing Vince McMahon strain his voicebox introducing the team participants during the opening credits. Even better were the sometimes ridiculous but occasionally clever team names. The most creative of the bunch being "The Visionaries"; a team captained by Rick Martel who at the time was invovled in a storyline in which he blinded Jake The Snake in one eye. Another great one was "The Warriors" which featured Ultimate Warrior, The Road Warriors and The Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich.
So here's the game, pick any 4 wrestlers from any era and form your own Survivor Series dream team. Only rule is the team has to have some kind of a theme. You cant just slap 4 wrestlers together that you particularly fancy. They have to have something in common. For instance....
The Natural Diasasters:
Texas Tornado, The Hurricane, Earthquake, Typhoon
Excellence & Perfection
Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Kurt Angle, Curt Hennig
(not sure about the name, but they'd make a perfect team. All 4 wear singlets, they're all technical wrestlers and all but one of them has a submission finisher.)
Or on a more ridiculous note....
The Flock:
Raven, Koko B.Ware, Red Rooster, and Gobbeldy Gooker
(A raven, a parrot, a rooster and a turkey walk into a bar. This team is more of a nightmare than a dream but I use it just as an example to hammer home the point. Actually that gives me another idea...
The Tool Chest
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Nailz, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Demolition Ax
OK. I'll stop now. I'd be interested to see what everyone can come up with.

If all the forum members' lives were at stake and I had to place my wager on a dream team of my choice, this is the team I would pick.
