We’re lucky enough to have the latest Hidden Gems information early for you this week and as you can tell by the title alone, this has taken what would be a common television special into altogether more interesting territory. How exactly? By adding more than an hour beyond the original runtime!

In the past, WWE has shied away from releasing any Survivor Series Showdown or SummerSlam Spectacular specials before 1993 via Hidden Gems. This was always presumed to be because they very openly used the Prime Time Wrestling branding and thus would be released as classic content within that series. Well, as stated above, the company has spiced this one up considerably so that it isn’t merely “as seen on TV”. Of course, we do initially have Survivor Series Showdown 1992, as it aired with the following card:

Repo Man vs. Tatanka

Marty Jannetty vs. The Brooklyn Brawler

Kamala (w/Harvey Wippleman & Kim Chee) vs. Red Tyler

Earthquake vs. Irwin R. Schyster (w/Jimmy Hart)

Barry Horowitz vs. The Big Boss Man

Red Fox & Royce Royal vs. The Headshrinkers (Fatu & Samu) (w/Afa)

But then, the fun truly begins after that ending copyright notice, with over an hour of the following “dark footage”:

Nailz vs. Ultimate Warrior

Yes, both Nailz and Bret have 2 matches and yes, the raw footage timestamp confirms that all of this happened after the show. Speaking of raw footage, we can confirm that none of the post-TV footage has commentary. To wrap things up here is WWE’s official description:

WWE 11/22/1992 – Survivor Series Showdown 1992 [Duration 02:35:23]

Battle lines are drawn as The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Bret Hart and others prepare for Survivor Series. Plus, watch bonus event footage.

As a final reminder, this extended version of Survivor Series Showdown 1992 will be added to the Hidden Gems category of the “In-Ring” section on the WWE Network this coming Thursday, November 21st, 2019.
