It was said earlier in this list that WWE could seemingly do no wrong once they hit the winning formula in 1998. Survivor Series that year was just another home run in a series of them for the promotion, and the momentum of Attitude and Austin would continue to roll.

Survivor Series 1998 was good for 478,000 buys, making it the most bought Survivor Series ever. That nearly doubled the 250,000 that the infamous Montreal show did one year earlier.

Months before Survivor Series, the 1998 SummerSlam also had the distinction of being the most bought event bearing its name (with a staggering 700,000 buys). WWE was reaching new highs during one of their most heralded years ever, but in some cases they were highs that would never be improved upon.
