10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 1999 Facts

10. It Was The Last Survivor Series To Have Four Or More Elimination Matches

These days, when Survivor Series is bestowed three elimination matches in and around the championship bouts, that's considered "good enough" for the old-school fans of the event. Some years there have only been one or two such matches, so three is a little bit closer to the spirit of the classic shows.

In 1999, WWE was gracious enough to go with four elimination matches. Though two of those matches sucked and a third one was average at best, it was still four traditional offerings. At least the effort was there. The only shows since then to offer exactly three elimination matches were 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2016.

But seriously, would it kill WWE to just make the entire show elimination matches again? Gosh, it'd make a long-suffering lad from New Jersey feel whole once again.
