10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2010 Facts

10. There Was Almost No Survivor Series At All

In February 2010, Vince McMahon announced at an investors call that Survivor Series would be rebranded, beginning with 2010 and going forward. McMahon said during the call, "We think that Survivor Series is obsolete as far as the title is concerned.”

McMahon may have been committed to moving past the event name, but his constituents weren't. There was an immediate backlash from WWE fans when the decision was announced. As one would expect, the petitions came out, as fans fought to save a WWE tradition, even if that tradition's lustre had been dulled over time.

The campaigning seemed to work. Approximately four months following McMahon's announcement, tickets for the 2010 Survivor Series went on sale. The name has remained ever since, with shows like the 2016 edition fully embracing the classic spirit of the event.
