7 Survivor Series Statistics You Need To Know

3. Who’s Left Standing?

The ultimate goal when you’re in a Survivor Series match is to end up standing tall at the end. Sure, it feels great if your team wins, but if you’re back in the locker room having been pinned (probably off a clothesline), it doesn’t feel quite as sweet. Not surprisingly, some fairly obvious men have been left in the ring to have their hand raised.

Most Times A Survivor: 5, Randy Orton; 4 (tie), Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior

Given that Randy Orton is 38 years old, odds are that he could add to this. Combine this with his eliminations record, and you could make the case that he is the best Survivor Series match performer in WWE history.

Most Times A Survivor, Never Eliminated: 4, Ultimate Warrior

It’s absolutely uncanny to think that Hogan (eliminated once), Orton (five times) and Savage (once) all have been eliminated from a Survivor Series match, but Warrior was left standing at the end of every one in which he competed. John Cena had a chance to tie that record in 2014, but Big Show’s doublecross cost him that distinction, even though his team won.

Most Times Sole Survivor: 3 (tie), Randy Orton and Ultimate Warrior

Orton and Warrior both managed to pull off a truly impressive feat – they not only were sole survivors of three elimination matches, they did it in three consecutive matches. It’s a feat that will probably never be duplicated.

Of the 260-plus men who have fought in at least one elimination match, only 101 have actually survived, and many of those who have survived have been eliminated in other matches.
