Survivor Series (1992) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on November 25, 1992 at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield Township, Ohio, near Cleveland. The card was presented under the Survivor Series banner and formed part of the WWF's annual late‑November schedule.

Overview and format

The Survivor Series concept, inaugurated by the promotion in the late 1980s, centers on multi‑wrestler elimination matches and other bouts staged for a pay‑per‑view audience. The 1992 edition followed that format, featuring elimination‑style tag team matches alongside singles contests. The event was distributed via traditional pay‑per‑view channels of the era and intended to be a marquee show in the promotion's calendar.

Card composition and characteristics

Rather than a single championship showcase, Survivor Series cards typically combine team elimination matches — where members are removed one by one until one side is eliminated — with undercard singles matches. The 1992 card maintained this mix, offering both long, storyline‑driven encounters and short matches designed to build future rivalries. For ticket buyers and viewers, the evening delivered the variety and dramatic eliminations that defined the series.

Historical context

The early 1990s were a transitional period for the WWF, with shifts in talent, creative direction, and business strategy. The company, which would later rebrand itself as WWE, used annual events like Survivor Series to establish seasonal storylines and to showcase newer performers alongside established stars. The Richfield Coliseum had been a regular venue for major indoor events in the Cleveland area and hosted this sixth edition of the Survivor Series.

Significance and legacy

As the sixth installment in the Survivor Series chronology, the 1992 show contributed to the continuity of an annual tradition that emphasized team tactics and eliminations as a contrast to single‑match pay‑per‑views. For historians and fans, the event illustrates how the WWF balanced spectacle and storytelling during a period of roster turnover and changing audience expectations.
