When Was The First Wwe Survivor Series?

The first ever WWE Survivor Series took place on November 27, 1987 and was headlined by a historic tag team match between The Hulkamaniax and The Dream Team.

Survivor Series

The Survivor Series was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually by WWE. It is the second oldest PPV event in WWE history (after WrestleMania), and was first held in 1987. The first Survivor Series was held on Thanksgiving Night in 1987 and was aired live on the USA Network.

The first ever Survivor Series

The first ever Survivor Series was held on Thanksgiving night, 1987. The event was created as a way to boost pay-per-view sales during the holiday season. The first ever Survivor Series was headlined by a massive tag team match, which saw Hulk Hogan and André the Giant face off against Big John Studd and Ken Patera. The event also featured the debut of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, who defeated Adrian Adonis in a Hair vs. Hair match.

The most recent Survivor Series

The most recent Survivor Series was in 2019. It was a joint production between WWE and Fox. The event took place on November 24, 2019, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.

The Evolution of Survivor Series

The first ever Survivor Series took place on Thanksgiving Day in 1987. It was a unique event that saw, for the first time ever, teams of five wrestlers from different WWE brands compete against each other. The concept was simple: the last man standing would be the sole survivor.

The brand split

In May 2002, WWF owner Vince McMahon announced the brand extension, a plan to divided WWF’s roster into two exclusive groups of wrestlers, one representing the Raw brand and the other representing the SmackDown! brand. This was done in order to increase the number of main event-caliber wrestlers on each brand, thus giving more options for fresh and compelling storylines. As a result of the extension, Survivor Series became exclusive to the Raw brand in 2003 (while still remaining one of WWE’s “Big Four” pay-per-view events, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and SummerSlam).

The addition of new stipulations

The WWE Survivor Series has undergone several changes since its inception in 1987. The most significant change came in 1988, when the event was expanded to include four traditional tag team matches. The additional stipulation for those matches was that the losing team would be forced to disband.

This change added a new level of drama to the event, as it became not only about winning and losing, but also about which teams would be forced to split up. The 1988 Survivor Series is widely considered to be one of the best wrestling pay-per-views ever, due in large part to the added element of suspense provided by the four tag team matches.

In recent years, the WWE Survivor Series has seen the addition of new stipulations, such as the Elimination Chamber match and the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match. These changes have kept the event fresh and exciting, and ensure that it remains one of the most anticipated wrestling pay-per-views of the year.

The Future of Survivor Series

In 1987, the very first Survivor Series event took place. The event was held in Richfield, Ohio and featured four tag teams of four wrestlers each. The teams were made up of either all babyfaces or all heels. The event was incredibly successful and set the stage for future Survivor Series events.

The build to future Survivor Series events

WWE Survivor Series is a professional wrestling event produced annually by WWE, a Connecticut–based professional wrestling promotion. The event was created in 1987 and has been held every November since then. It is one of WWE’s “Big Four” pay-per-view events, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and SummerSlam. The concept of the show is based on a scripted tournament where tag teams and individuals from different promotions compete against each other.

WWE Survivor Series is considered one of WWE’s most successful pay-per-views, however, the concept and build to future Survivor Series events has come under fire in recent years. In 2017, WWE Survivor Series was heavily criticized for its lack of promotion and build. This year’s event did not seem to have the same level of excitement and anticipation as in previous years.

It is unclear if WWE will be able to turn things around for next year’s event or if Survivor Series will continue to decline in popularity.

The potential for new Survivor Series records

As WWE Survivor Series draws near, there is potential for new records to be set. For example, Survivor Series is the only Big 4 pay-per-view to never have a women’s match as the main event. With The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar being billed as the headliner this year, that could finally change.

In addition, no WWE pay-per-view has ever had two Elimination Chamber matches on the card. With two taking place at Survivor Series this year, that could also be a record-setting moment.

Finally, with John Cena and Daniel Bryan both competing in traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series tag team matches, they have a chance to tie or even break Triple H’s record for most Survivor Series appearances.

With all of these potential records on the line, Survivor Series is shaping up to be a historic event.
