10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2006 Facts

10. The Event Allowed Philadelphia To Complete "The Big Five"

Three months earlier, WWE SummerSlam 2006 took place in Boston, making Beantown the first city to host each of WWE's Big Five: Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and the defunct King of the Ring.

The 2006 Survivor Series enabled Philadelphia to pull off the same feat. 'The City of Brotherly Love' rarely gets any truly great pay-per-views (outside of the 2013 Money in the Bank), but they can at least lay claim to this accomplishment.

It began when a decent SummerSlam 1990 took place in Philly, followed by the wretched 1995 King of the Ring. More awfulness followed in the form of WrestleMania XV in 1999. The 2004 Royal Rumble at least had one of the greatest Rumble matches ever. And finally, the 2006 Survivor Series was a fun, if mostly-uneventful, showcase.
