7 Reasons Why WWE Survivor Series Is Still A Great Concept
The November showcase still have a place in today's WWE.
Today, the WWEs pay-per-view calendar is littered with gimmick-themed events. And while this ensures that fans know what theyre in for when they order a show, a consequence of this is a lack of unpredictability that makes for a frequent complaint amongst fans. Gone are the likes of Vengeance, No Mercy, and Armageddon, having been replaced with the more formulaicand somewhat less imaginatively namedMoney in the Bank, Hell in a Cell, and Tables, Ladders and Chairs shows. Of course, its not just these newer PPVs that are being criticised; even Survivor Series, which was essentially the original gimmick-themed PPV when it debuted back in 1987, has come in for its fair share of flak. But for me, Survivor Series and its elimination-based theme remains a unique proposition, and it still very much has a place in todays WWE. Say what you will about the other gimmick-themed PPVs but, in my eyes at least, the concept behind Survivor Series really is a good oneand this article explains why.
