Well, the Survivor Series, at least as a ppv name, is no more. Vince has decided the name / concept has outlived its usefullness, and its out with the old.
WWE are working on new themed ppv ideas, but this one is no longer around. So share your Survivor Series memories, mourn the loss, and lets move ahead.
You had a nice run, Survivor Series!

Makes sense, since they dumped the theme a long time ago and only used token "traditional" Survivor Series matches.
I think they should have kept it going as a special theme, like the Royal Rumble.

Well, they are thinking up some different schemes and themes for the PPVs. They may bring back the old NWA / WCW "Wargames" concept, and the annual draft may move to PPV.

I liked the Survivor Series matches from back in the day. Obviously my biggest memories from the November stable is 96, my first PPV I ever attended. Left heartbroken and depressed, Shawn came in as champ, hadn't been beat for the belt since he won it at Mania in the Iron Man match. And it all came to an end when Sid hit jose with the camera then Michaels followed by a powerbomb to end the first reign. But that was also the first match between Bret and Austin which saw Austin win. This of course was the set up to their great Mania match at WM 13. And also 96 saw the debut of the Rock, who I thought was the corniest guy ever upon first walking out. now the guy is the tooth fairy in a dumb kids movie.
Then how could I forget 97, nuff said.
but by far my best memories is from the 2002 Survivor Series at MSG, first ever Elimination Chamber match. Heyman turned on Brock joining the Big Show as he picked up the WWE Championship. And 96 was erased when HBK, in his second match back, won the first ever Chamber match and the World Title, just seeing Shawn win the belt in person, let alone in that crazy ass match, one of the best wrestling moments I've experienced so I'll always have a soft spot for the Series. But I agree, with them distancing themselves further and further from the traditional Survivor Series match, they might as well change it. And if they put a cool concept PPV in it's place, I'm all for it.

I don't like this.
Tweak the program, keep the name. Hell, why not just take the Bragging Rights concept and put in in Survivor Series?
Vince is a dork.
