When 300 wrestlers have competed in at least one traditional Survivor Series match, then it’s probably an easier question to ask who hasn’t competed in one of these matches. No fewer than 51 WWE Hall of Famers have battled in a 5-on-5 or 4-on-4 elimination match, including Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper, Edge, Ultimate Warrior, Harley Race, Hillbilly Jim, Jeff Jarrett and The Godfather.

Nearly every man who has held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been in a SS match. The only exceptions since 1987 are Bob Backlund, Vince McMahon, Mankind and Jinder Mahal. Even 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin managed to enter one, the 2001 elimination match between WWF and the Alliance. Interestingly, nine of the 10 men in that match have held the world title – with Shane McMahon being the odd man out.

But don’t count the “Best in the World” out just yet.
