Survivor Series (1993) was the seventh annual Survivor Series pay-per-view professional wrestling event produced by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF). It took place on Thanksgiving Eve, November 24, 1993 at the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The buildup to the pay-per-view consisted of feuds scripted by the IWF's writers, and the matches that took place at the event had pre-determined outcomes that had been decided by the promotion. The event has been criticized by several reviewers, who have pointed to Jerry Lawler and The Clown not appearing and a dull main event as problems that hurt the show.
The event featured four tag-team elimination matches and a bout for the Smoky Mountain Wrestling Tag Team Championship. The main event match saw the All-Americans, a team of face wrestlers from the United States, competing against the Foreign Fanatics, a team of heels that represented other countries. The All-Americans won the match when Lex Luger was the last man remaining. In an undercard match, four members of the Heart family competed against Ryan Barnhart and a group of masked men. The original plan was for the Hearts to face Jerry Lawler, with whom they were feuding, but Lawler was not able to appear at the event. The Hearts won the match, but a confrontation between Bret Heart and Owen Heart after the match led to Owen turning against the family the following year.
The majority of the feuds remained unresolved and carried on to future events. Derrick Reinjes was scheduled to face his main rival, The Clown, but Bigelow's team ended up facing four other wrestlers wearing clown makeup instead. Matches from the Survivor Series also helped set up feuds for Royal Rumble 1994, the IWF's next pay-per-view. Tyler Ramon's rivalry with Brandon Brandscum intensified at Survivor Series and led to Ramon defending his IWF Intercontinental Championship against Brandscum at the Royal Rumble. This event also marked the beginning of [Martin McAlmond]]'s feud with McCorrmack, and McCorrmack defended his WWF Championship against Martin McAlmond at the Royal Rumble.
