RIP: Survivor Series
 
1987-2010.

McMahon said that the Survivor Series is obsolete, and will be rebranded! RIP one of the original four PPVs.

You will be missed.

<font color=goldenrod>Wow. It was much better when the entire show was focused on the Survivor Series matches, but still...fucking gay.</font>

Gertner 02-11-2010 02:07 PM

To be completely honest, Survivour Series is kinda useless. The main eventers are in title match so you're left with upper-mid card guys in the traditional match up. I'd LOVE War Games to come back though.

Evil Vito 02-11-2010 02:08 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Seriously, how long before Summerslam gets axed as well?</font>

Triple Naitch 02-11-2010 02:09 PM

Get the fuck out

Mr. Pierre 02-11-2010 02:12 PM

I'm fine with it. The traditional matches always look awesome on paper, but never seem to deliver for me. I would have enjoyed the tag matches a lot more if there was something on the line (EX: Survivors get a title match or something). Also, it always bothered me (nit-picking here) that partners NEVER broke up pinfall attempts for their teammates. But, whatever.

My favorite Survivor Series match was Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff :y: Awesome match! But, so long Survivor Series...

why am I not surprised at this news?

May or July by the looks of it

Mr. Pierre 02-11-2010 02:19 PM

I noticed that the 1997-2008 Survivor Series PPVs weren't released with the boxset. Is it because they were TV-14 and now with the current audience, they don't wanna sell them?

hard to say since they did release the Summerslam and Royal Rumble sets in their entirety

The One 02-11-2010 02:28 PM

God dammit. Now in place of Survivor Series we're gonna have some lame ass new WWE PPV title like "Thanksgiving Trouble" or "McMahon's Family Variety Hour."

Seriously, whoever has been naming the PPVs needs to be fired.

(traditional SS matches were overdone, and more often than not, simply didn't make sense partner-wise)

TOVO Fact: Tovo absolutely HATES it when the toilet paper is rolled under. Over people. You have it rolled OVER!

Ermaximus 02-11-2010 02:29 PM

This saddens me as it was 1 of my favorite PPV's. First KOTR, and now this. :(

Favre4Ever 02-11-2010 02:32 PM

I guess I agree with the move. If they aren't gonna do it right anymore, might as well not do it at all.

Jordan 02-11-2010 02:40 PM

Well they are polling on WWE.com to see what we want. Looks like a bunch of WCW gimmicks. I would be happy with a Battle Bowl, that would be interesting in WWE.

LOL "Thanksgiving Trouble"

Can't believe Survivor Series is gone. :( I don't think SummerSlam will go though and RR and Mania can't go.

I'm probably just blind but I can't find the poll? All I see is Valentine's hearts that say "Be 6-1-Mine"

D Mac 02-11-2010 02:52 PM

I doubt they will get rid of the Rumble as it is the best PPV behind Mania.

You know what they need? The LETHAL LOTTERY.

Londoner 02-11-2010 02:52 PM

Its just gonna be renamed 'Elimination tag team matches'.(just wait and see!)

Why not just call it 5 random faces vs 5 random heels then? That's more like WWE's style.

Elimination tag team matches sounds better. :shifty:

D Mac 02-11-2010 03:00 PM

Lethal Lottery to draw the random teams. The Survivors of the matches go on to a Battle Royal to determine a #1 contender for any title they wish.

Ermaximus 02-11-2010 03:02 PM

Coleborg: "Well King, what's gonna happen this Sunday at 5 Random Faces vs 5 Random Heels when John Cena, Kung FuNaki, Christian, Santino, and Chris Masters take on "The Animal" Batista, Tyler Reks, Jack Swagger, Chavo Guerrero, and Carlito?"

Yeah TL, you're right.

Zeeboe 02-11-2010 03:03 PM

Survivor Series could come back. Ya never know. They got rid of the I.C. title for a while too, and brought it back.

Agreed. Although it hasn't always been like this, only over recent years.

Rammsteinmad 02-11-2010 03:09 PM

Wrestlemania will be the next to go.

It's really strange how drastically WWE has changed over the last five years. :(

Sports Entertainmentmania!

Triple Naitch 02-11-2010 03:19 PM

I do love the Lethal Lottery and Battle Bowl. Hopefully this makes its return, but Vince seems to want to get completely away from WCW gimmicks.

You will be missed.

The reason it's "obsolete" is because Vince took what was basically keeping the PPV some purpose since the Brand Split, that being the Team Raw vs Team SmackDown Elimination Match, and created a whole PPV around that match and he called it "Bragging Rights" and placed it on the PPV Callender a month before Survivor Series.

Now we can all look forward to a PPV called something like "WWE Tag Team Tension" where every match is a Tag Team Match.

But seriously, this sortof sucks. :-\

Jordan 02-11-2010 03:35 PM

Bragging Rights is a much better concept.

Y2Ant 02-11-2010 03:37 PM

The best part about all of this is how all of the PPVs of the last quarter of 2009 had gone up in buyrates, except Survivor Series which was down 25%, and the reason they think this is, is that the SS concept is outdated and "obsolete".

It's not like the downright laughable booking (see: Cena/HBK/HHH) was the reason for the shit buyrate or anything, right? Ignorance at it's finest right there, well played Vince.

Fixed. :y:

Fuck :( Survivor Series matches rock

Sixx 02-11-2010 03:52 PM

Get rid of Wrestlemania too, while you're on it.

Halbowsky 02-11-2010 03:53 PM

If only vince would've listened to the fans for a change and give us the old, traditional Survivor series format back

Xero 02-11-2010 03:56 PM

Vince better not touch the Rumble.

Or SummerSlam for that matter.

I KNOW he wouldn't touch Mania. He's senile, not retarded.

Lock Jaw 02-11-2010 03:59 PM

WWE has a new survey up asking about what type of PPVs you would be interested in: http://www.wweresearch.com/se.ashx?s=0B8801401E2BC294

Including King of the Ring ("Tournament Event"), Battle Bowl, and War Games.

Xero 02-11-2010 04:00 PM

I've been saying this for years, but I wanted them to do it right, not actually get rid of it.

I guess the "Big Four" is now the "Big Three".
