This month sees the 28th annual Survivor Series pay per view. Originally presented back in 1987, the event is heralded as one of WWEs big four shows and behind WrestleMania is the longest running in the companys history. Originally presented as a night of single elimination multi-person tag team matches where babyfaces and heels would settle scores and re-open old wounds, the event has over time been watered down to look pretty much like any other card. However for the majority of the 28 years this year included the gang war style setup has been maintained for a few matches. It at least maintains a degree of originality and preserves a little of the nostalgia for us long-time fans. This years show at which John Cena will lead a team against the dreaded (or dreadful) Authoritys hand-picked heels can only be described as a filler while WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar sits at home awaiting Royal Rumble. Previous years however have been treated like a much bigger deal and Superstars have even been given their big break at the PPV. In this feature we take a look at 5 of the biggest debuts in Survivor Series history and examine the impact they had or in one case did not have on the industry in the years that followed.
