10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2011 Facts

10. It's The Most Recent WWE Pay-Per-View To Take Place At The Garden

It was fitting that Survivor Series 2011 took place inside the hallowed halls of the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Rock had made his televised in-ring debut there 15 years earlier, a fact oft-mentioned in the build to the main event.

If you count the original WrestleMania, then 11 WWE pay-per-views have taken place inside the Garden. It seemed like every two years or so, one of their Big Four would emanate from the venue, up until the mid-2000s. After WrestleMania XX in 2004, only two pay-per-views have taken place there: the 2008 Royal Rumble, and the 2011 Survivor Series. There haven't been any since.

As years have gone by, MSG has become more expensive to rent for events, and it's also quite costly to film inside the building. WWE has been more inclined to go with Brooklyn's Barclays Center, which opened in 2012, and has already held four pay-per-views there (including three SummerSlams).
